mhm aw yiss BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT NOW BUY IT! BUY BUY BUY!! BUY IT! ITS GOT SO MANY GOOD CARDS!!!

I love adding these investigators into the Arkham LCG game. You need the base game at minimum to make use of these cards. Comes with fun investigators and player cards that are great across multiple expansions.

So I picked this up after having gotten the core set back in 2016. At the time I enjoyed the game but I hated the release model for their expansions, since they only released one scenario in a given campaign at a time every so many weeks. Well in an age of binge watching Netflix that wasn’t ideal for me! Lol. This big box expansion represents a shift in the release model, one I can really get behind. It didn’t hurt that it was one of my favorite themes—an Antarctic expedition, which I have loved ever since I first saw the 1980’s classic The Thing. I feel like I can finally get into this game. The only thing I really didn’t like was the new “snow flake” mechanic which has you add additional(negative) tokens to the chaos bag. I guess that is the point though. You’re not supposed to “like” it. These tokens give you a -1 to your check and require you to reach back into the bag and draw a second token. If you draw a second snowflake token then the check you are making is an auto-fail. I felt that overall this new mechanic became too punishing. You can play the game in “campaign” mode but by the end of the campaign your chaos bag will have accumulated so many of these snowflake tokens that it makes passing skill checks insanely difficult and really almost impossible. My suggestion: play the scenarios in stand alone mode only. Just add two snowflakes to your chaos bag each scenario so you can still get the flavor of the new mechanic while dodging the out of control nature of it that the campaign mode brings. Don’t worry, it will be PLENTY difficult without campaign mode—you’re not missing out on anything. Definitely worth buying though and a REALLY fantastic finale with that final mission that will leave you wanting more.

This is the second expansion I bought for the AH: LCG collection that is now filling one shelf in our games closet. It is engaging and came with my favorite investigator (Lily Chan). The encounter deck includes some quirky penguins. I don't know what they are supposed to be doing, but it's better to draw one of them than some of the other cards waiting to mess with you. However, the scenario setups are sometimes confusing. (We played two of them a second time because we decided after getting through them that we had misinterpreted one of the instructions.) We've only played it clear through (all eight scenarios) once, and I expect to play it again, but it's not my favorite.

This was the first of the investigator expansion's I've purchased from fantasy flight games. Gotta say, I don't really like it. This cost more than the old deluxe campaigns, and for the price, I expected more player cards. Not only that, but if I want to play the campaign, I still have to shell out the same or more.

I've been playing Akham horror LCG since 2016. I have a bookshelf full of these tiny un-stackable plastic blister packs. They are so impossible to deal with as they can't be organized or presented nicely. Thank you Fantasy Flight Games for putting everything in beautiful, stackable, boxes. I'm also so glad that everything is being re-released using this packaging format, as it reduces plastic waste and just looks so much nicer in a boardgame collection. As far as the actual gameplay and being happy with the components, I'm sure I will be. I haven't yet gotten to it. If you are new to the game and wonder if you'd like it, I'd recommend doing the campaigns in order of their release (ie. start with the Core set)

I am so grateful that it arrived before Christmas, thank you! Everything was perfect!

En esta campaña por primera vez se incluyen las cartas doradas, o bien, de múltiples tipos, llevaba cazando un buen precio y la encontré barata (650-700 MXN)

Great product.
