Fair warning: Play this game and you may just get lost in time and space.
Portals to other worlds and dimensions of unspeakable horror have opened up all over the city of Arkham and monsters are escaping out into the streets. It’s the 1920s and people around the town are disappearing, going insane, and getting not just murdered — dismembered. A few town members are resolved to find out what’s going on and put a stop to it.
Based on the lore of H. P. Lovecraft, Arkham Horror is a cooperative game — unless you’re playing by yourself, because you totally can (It’s for 1-6 players). If you’re not able to close all of the portals in time, you go face-to-face against one of the Ancient Ones… and there’s a good chance you just lose right away because they’re THE ANCIENT ONES! And they’ll make you lose your mind! Or devour you. Or worse.
Couple the game with this contemporary silent film based on another classic from H. P. Lovecraft:
