The Black Goat of the Woods was the fifth expansion pack for Fantasy Flight Games' Second Edition of Lovecraftian adventure board game Arkham Horror, released in June 2008.
Overview
A cards-only expansion, The Black Goat of the Woods did not include the optional game board seen in some of the larger packs. It included an additional 90 Investigator and 88 Ancient One cards to diversify games of Arkham Horror, and a new Herald, the Black Goat of the Woods, along with a handful of additional Monster tokens.
In addition, the expansion introduced two new optional mechanics to change how the core game plays, and a difficulty level selector system to allow for easier or more challenging gameplay. The new mechanics were Cult Encounters, which allowed Investigators to interact more deeply with Arkham's occult elements, and Investigator Corruption, a system by which Investigators slowly gain negative effects as their adventure progresses.
Characters Included
Heralds
- The Black Goat of the Woods
Monsters Included
- Child of the Goat
