Arkham Horror Third Edition is a cooperative board game. Players take on the roles of investigators trying to rid the world of eldritch beings known as Ancient Ones. Based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, players will have to gather clues, defeat terrifying monsters, and find tools and allies if they are to stand any chance of defeating the creatures that dwell just beyond the veil of our reality.

When starting a game of Arkham Horror Third Edition, you have choices to make as to how you will meet your doom, selecting a scenario and choosing an investigator to embody, all of which have a distinct identity. Players of Arkham Horror: The Card Game and Mansions of Madness will already be familiar with these investigators, as they are some of the most prolific heroes of the Arkham Horror Files!
