We appreciate those of you who still managed to participate via the chat, and today we would like to share the questions, the answers, and the prizes that everyone managed to unlock!

Horrors for Days

Horrors for Days

Announcing the Schedule for Arkham Nights 2021

Be wary, investigators, for something dark approaches…

Last year, we had a week of horrors that formed the Arkham Nights 2020 event. This year, we find ourselves faced with yet another terrifying event, but this time on an even grander scale. Arkham Nights 2021 is right around the corner, and this year it’s larger than ever.

This event will take place from Friday, October 22^nd through Sunday, October 31^st. We will talk about the two weekends in this time period (the 22^nd through 24^th and the 29^th through 31^st) in a moment, but for now, let’s focus on the tantalizing online events that happen between them, during the week we’d like to call the Week of Arkham.

To kick off the Week of Arkham on Monday, October 25^th, we will have a Share the Terror Prize Pack Giveaway. Simply share a photo of you playing any of the games in the Arkham Horror Files universe with the hashtag #ArkhamNights2021 for a chance to win an Arkham Horror Files-themed prize pack. As for what’s in that prize pack, we will reveal that at a later date, so stay tuned!

Next, on Tuesday, October 26^th, join your fellow investigators around the globe to tackle a special Cooperative Trivia Challenge. For this event, we will be livestreaming trivia questions starting at 6:00 PM CDT. All viewers will have just a short moment to answer each question, and every correct answer will contribute to a global score. If the global score gets high enough, you will unlock a number of prizes for all Arkham fans to enjoy!

On Thursday, October 28^th, tune in for a special broadcast on Facebook Live with MJ Newman, the lead designer of Arkham Horror: The Card Game. In this broadcast, MJ will take everyone through a whirlwind tour of the Edge of the Earth Campaign Expansion, with a focus on the characters and scenarios that can be found within. For anyone looking forward to Arkham LCG’s Antarctic adventure, you won’t want to miss this tantalizing preview!

Then, on Friday, October 29^th, a new batch of recipes from Arkham, Massachusetts will hit our website, expanding the culinary collection that we began as part of last year’s Arkham Nights festivities. Be sure to check out (and try out) these recipes when we unleash them on the world! (Note: If you haven’t seen the recipes from last year, you can still find them here!)

The Week of Arkham will have much more happening on each day as well! Be sure to check in regularly for a plethora of Arkham Horror Files-themed content scattered across our website and social media accounts, including puzzles, quizzes, memes, and more.

Arkham Nights In-Person

Last year was difficult for a number of reasons, and unfortunately we were unable to host any sort of Arkham Nights event in person. Thankfully, this year is different, and we are excited to announce that Arkham Nights is coming back not only to just Roseville, Minnesota, but in stores around the world as well!

In Roseville, folks can look forward to the Gamezenter hosting its Arkham Nights event from October 22^nd through October 24^th. Those of us from FFG will be there to collaborate with the Gamezenter on their activities and events. If you can make it, join us for things like epic multiplayer games for both the Arkham Horror board game and card game, a pick-and-play game library where you and your friends can play any game from the Arkham Horror Files universe (including the upcoming Unfathomable), and a late-night pub trivia event with some awesome prizes on the line! Be sure to check out the Gamezenter’s website for details and times.

For those of you who don’t live in the Roseville area, do not fret! For the first time ever, other game stores will be able to host their own versions of Arkham Nights as well! In the weeks leading up to the 22^nd, be sure to ask your local game store if they plan to host an Arkham Nights event. Each participating store will host the event in their own way, and they can hold it anytime between October 22^nd and October 31^st. Some stores may even have some official Arkham Nights 2021 swag to give out! Just keep in mind that FFG will not be participating in the events of stores other than the Gamezenter, even though we wish we could.

A Week to Remember

Mark your calendars, Arkham fans. With something happening every day between October 22^nd and October 31^st—whether it’s online or in-person—you won’t want to miss out on this year’s Arkham Nights event. Join us, and brave the horrors of the Week of Arkham—the world depends on it!

A Week of Horrors

Published 23 October 2020 | Arkham Horror: The Card Game

A Week of Horrors

Announcing the Arkham Nights 2020 Event

“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.”
–H.P. Lovecraft

Greetings, investigators.

We wish we could meet in better circumstances, but there are matters that we simply must address. Dark omens of unspeakable horrors loom on the horizon, whispers of monsters and inexplicable evil creep on the edge of everyone’s minds, and an omnipresent dread chills our souls.

They are coming.

In just a few days’ time, it will begin. The cults of the Ancient Ones will gather in celebration of their unknowable lords, and a different ritual will take place each day to contribute to the dark event, which will last for nearly a week.

That event’s name? Arkham Nights 2020.

Normally, this celebration of horror would take place in person at the Fantasy Flight headquarters in Roseville, Minnesota, but this year the frightful festivities will be entirely online.

The forces of the Mythos will begin their ghastly agenda on Monday, October 26 with a new riddle about Eldritch Horror. This riddle will reveal itself on the Fantasy Flight Games Facebook page, and one unlucky soul who answers this riddle correctly will be cursed with a free expansion for the game, doomed to enjoy themselves with an enhanced Eldritch Horror experience.

On Tuesday, October 27, the mysterious members of the Silver Twilight Lodge will release some recipes native to Arkham, Massachusetts, in an effort to spread their influence throughout the world. Be sure to avoid the Fantasy Flight Games website and social media accounts, where these recipes will be posted and linked, or else you too will be captured by their flavors and ensnared by their richness.

On Wednesday, October 28, the cultists of Organized Play will reveal the first of their dastardly Play-and-Share promos, which were unlocked by enough people participating in their ongoing ritual. We can only hope that the ritual does not meet further milestones, or else more and more promos will be unlocked and the Play-and-Share campaign will only continue to grow.

On Thursday, October 29, Matthew Newman and Jeremy Zwirn, two of the top investigators at Fantasy Flight Games, will livestream their efforts to combat the Mythos by working with viewers to design a brand-new card for Arkham Horror: The Card Game. This crucial event for humanity’s survival will take place at 4:00 PM CST on the FFGLive Twitch channel. For the sake of keeping the horrors at bay, do not miss this stream! IMPORTANT EDIT: Due to unexpected circumstances, this livestream has been postponed. Be sure to check back in periodically and keep an eye on FFG's social media accounts for updates on the new date for this event!

On Friday, October 30, you'll find a brief respite from the horrors of the week with a simple quote from one of FFG's Arkham titles. Is this their favorite quote? Or does it mean something greater? Investigators will have to figure that out on their own!

Finally, on Saturday, October 31, FFG will begin taking submissions for the sinister ‘Craftian Costume Contest. Any hopeful innocents who wish to show their love for the horrors of Arkham will be able to submit images of themselves dressed as investigators, cultists, or unspeakable horrors. Among the submissions, one person will be chosen to receive a mysterious Arkham Horror-themed prize. Submissions will be open until 11:59 PM CST on Sunday, November 1. The fortunate (or perhaps unfortunate) winner of this prize will be announced on Monday, November 2. The official rules for this contest can be found here.

Whether you look forward to this event or view it with dread, the fact remains that Arkham Nights 2020 begins on Monday, October 26. Brace yourselves, investigators. It will be a week to remember.

Investigators must discover ancient secrets of lost civilizations, stop a serpent’s curse, and explore crumbling ruins in three new digital scenarios that introduce new investigators, puzzles, and mysteries to tempt the curious to travel deeper into the jungle.

Your Last Stand

Previewing Solo Play in Arkham Horror: Final Hour

“A reddish glare, too, seemed to filter through the pale undergrowth beyond endless avenues of forest night. Reluctant even to be left alone again, each one of the squatters refused point-blank to advance another inch toward the scene of unholy worship, so Inspector Legrasse and his nineteen colleagues plunged on unguided into black arcades of horror that none of them had ever trod before.”
–H. P. Lovecraft, “The Call of Cthulhu”

Another day, another fight to save humanity from the powers of the Mythos. Or so it would seem. As an Arkham investigator, you have learned secrets of this world that would drive others mad, you have stared into the many faces of evil, and you have emerged triumphant time and again, keeping your home and its citizens safe. But not this time. This time, you have arrived too late. The eldritch rite has already been completed and the world around you erupts into chaos. Monsters break through the fabric of reality and—if you do not hurry to reverse the summoning—the end of the world is inevitable.

Arkham Horror: Final Hour is a fully cooperative game that asks investigator to work together to hold back the monstrous horde and uncover the clues that will lead them to undoing the eldritch rite, but you may find yourself in a situation where you are completely, utterly alone. Even then, though, not all hope is lost.

Today, we offer you a closer look at the solo play mechanics for Arkham Horror: Final Hour—now available for pre-order at your local retailer or online through our website with free shipping within the continental United States!

Prepare for the Worst

You may have the courage and strength to stand fearless against the terrible might of the Ancient Ones, but the investigators that you embody still need to rely on the strengths and skills of one another. As such, in a single-player game of Arkham Horror: Final Hour, you will control two investigators rather than one, making sure to keep those investigators’ decks, items, and health tokens separate.

This version of gameplay provides you with a bit more flexibility and control over the evils you will face as there is no lead investigator, meaning you get to make all decisions for the two characters you are playing. If an effect specifically refers to the lead investigator, you decide which of the two investigators is the lead investigator for the purposes of that effect, and if an effect resolves “in turn order,” you also get to choose the order in which your two characters resolve it. But make no mistake, the challenges you will face are still monumental and it will take every ounce of cunning you have to stay alive and save your city.

Spring into Action

Unlike a typical game of Arkham Horror: Final Hour, in a single-player game priority cards are not dealt to each investigator and you do not maintain a hand of cards. Rather, during the Action Phase you draw five priority cards (as opposed to the usual four), and then immediately choose one of them to place beside the Ancient One sheet. This priority card, and all future cards placed here, will be used when you attempt to reverse the ritual, giving you an opportunity to guess which symbols you need every round and then save them for later.

Priority Card 4 will automatically be committed in the attempt to reverse the ritual!

Next, you place the remaining four priority cards faceup on the table in a row, ordered from lowest to highest. These are the four priority cards that you will play for the round. Just like a multiplayer game of Final Hour tasks you with working with limited information and weighing the importance of your action against the potential needs of your allies, the game’s single-player mode requires you to make tough decisions without the certainty of knowing what lies ahead.

Once the priority cards have been laid out for the round, you reveal the top card of either of your investigator’s action deck and place it on any of the row’s faceup priority cards that does not already have an action card on it. Then, in one of the biggest mechanical changes from multiplayer mode, you immediately resolve the card’s effect. If the action card was placed on one of the two lowest priority cards, you resolve its top effect; if it was placed on one of the two highest, you resolve its bottom effect. This gives you the chance to watch the board evolve, gaining more information to work with as the round progresses. You may choose to have your characters investigate first before any monsters are fought, which may alter where you decide to move or which creature you battle. This may provide vital information that will be key to keeping you alive as you face the terrors of the Mythos alone.

Ashcan Pete may either play his action on priority card 7 to resolve its top effect, or on 10 to resolve its bottom effect.

This process is repeated until each investigator has resolved two cards. You are free to choose the order of the investigators’ actions each round, either resolving both action cards from one investigator and then the other or alternating investigators. No matter what order you choose, each investigator’s action cards go to their separate discard piles at the end of the phase. Hopefully you will have found precious clues to help you undo the ritual and return the natural order of the universe before it’s too late!

Dark Omens

Facing an Ancient One alone may seem daunting, but you have no choice if you wish to save the Earth from their wrath. As with a multiplayer game, during the Reckoning step of the Ancient One phase, you discard the four priority cards used during the Action Phase and resolve the effect on the Ancient One sheet that corresponds to the number of omen icons on those cards.

Now, as you do not have a hand of priority cards to choose from, the control you have over the number of omen icons that appear is limited. You must take care to find balance at the start of the Action Phase when you choose which priority card to set aside next to the Ancient One sheet. If you are torn as to which symbols you need to reverse the ritual, it may be wise to place the card with the most omen icons aside so they will not return to haunt you later. After the Reckoning, the Gate step is resolved as normal, with rifts growing and monsters spawning across the board, and the Pass Lead Investigator Token step is skipped. And thus, your dance with death continues until you are ready to undo the hellish rite and singlehandedly save the world.

In this case, three matching priority cards have been committed, successfully reversing the ritual!

When you are ready to attempt to reverse the ritual, you automatically commit all of the priority cards that were placed next to the Ancient One sheet over the course of the game. This may seem like a distinct disadvantage from multiplayer play where you have the choice to commit cards from your hand at the end of the game, but where a multiplayer game requires matching symbol icons equal to twice the number of investigators, a single player game only requires three. If you can successfully deduce which symbols you need, you will be single-handedly responsible for saving Arkham! But if you fail, you will be the key that leads to its downfall.

The Final Hour

Arkham is in peril and there is nowhere else for you to turn when the fight for the world is at hand. You must defend your city, even if it costs you your life or your sanity. Prepare to face the final hour and stand fearless against the powers of the Mythos!

Rise of the Ancient Ones

Published 10 October 2019 | Arkham Horror: Final Hour

Rise of the Ancient Ones

Previewing the Ancient One Phase in Arkham Horror: Final Hour

“They worshipped, so they said, the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky. Those Old Ones were gone now, inside the earth and under the sea; but their dead bodies had told their secrets in dreams to the first men, who formed a cult which had never died.”
–H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

Pre-order your own copy of Arkham Horror: Final Hour at your local retailer or online through our website with free shipping in the continental United States today!

Your adventures in the Arkham Horror Files universe have pitted you against countless challenges, facing evil cults and eldritch monstrosities, and you have always done everything in your power to stop them. But in Arkham Horror: Final Hour, you arrived too late. The rite has been completed, and now an Ancient One tears through reality, spilling hordes of monsters onto the campus of Miskatonic University. Now all that is left for you to do is hold back the masses and try to find some way to reverse what has been done.

And time is running out.

Last week, we showed you how to fight against the horde and discover the ritual components you need during the Action Phase. But with every step you take; you will find the forces of evil pushing back against you. You must be ready to face the unthinkable trials ahead. Today, we offer you a glimpse into the horror of the Ancient One Phase in Arkham Horror: Final Hour—now available for pre-order at your local retailer or online through our website with free shipping within the continental United States!

The Day of Reckoning

In our last preview, which you can check out here, we examined the possibilities that you and your fellow investigators have during the Action Phase, fighting monsters, looking for clues, and building wards to protect Miskatonic University. Regardless of the number of investigators in your team, you can only perform four actions and you need to make them count, as once the Action Phase ends, the Ancient One steps forth to wreak havoc as they break through the veil that divides our world from their own.

During the Ancient One Phase, the Ancient One’s malign influence strikes the campus, and the eldritch monstrosity comes closer to walking the world. Your investigators resolve this phase in three steps: Reckoning, Gates, and passing the Lead Investigator. The lead investigator makes all decisions during this phase.

First, during the Reckoning step, your team discards the priority cards you played during the Action Phase and count the number of omen icons on those cards. This will determine how the Ancient One will act, as detailed on their Ancient One Sheet. The more omen icons present, the worse the effect will be. For example, if the Sleeper in R’Lyeh, Cthulhu, only finds one or two omen icons, he will order the activation of all his minions currently on the board, then spawn two Deep Ones. But if he finds seven or more, he will automatically force each investigator to lose two health.

The Investigators played priotity cards with a total of seven omen icons and therefore they must resolve R'lyeh Risen!

If by some miracle the total number of omen icons is zero, the Ancient One is powerless and you do not resolve any effect, but you may find that the risk of invoking the Ancient One’s wrath will be worth it to ensure that you can perform the action you wish. If you wish to survive long enough to undo the rite, balance will be key.

Monsters Unleashed

The second step of the Ancient One Phase is activating Gates. Gate tokens represent portals to unnatural and alien otherworlds that are home to all manner of dangerous beings and the horrors you discover in each will depend on which Ancient One you battle in any given game. Over the course of the game’s eight rounds, the gates grow larger, releasing more monsters onto the campus and becoming ever more difficult to manage. You must work quickly! During this step, the lead investigator reveals the top gate token on the gate stack and places it on top of the matching gate token on the board. Then, the lead investigator spawns a number of monsters at that location equal to the number of gate tokens there.

Sorority Row has two gate tokens, therefore it spawns two monsters!

Monsters spawn one at a time and any decisions for where they are placed or where they will move if a location is already full are made by the lead investigator. When a monster spawns at a location, the lead investigator takes one random monster token and places it in an empty space in that location. If there are no empty spaces for the creature to spawn into, it moves following the arrows along the campus paths that correspond to the monster’s token color. Blue monsters follow the blue arrows and stay along the walkways, while red monsters follow the red arrows, which may sometimes make a path between locations that are not adjacent. If there are still no empty spaces in the monster’s new location, the monster moves again and again until it reaches a location that has an empty space, even this means looping around the entire campus back to its original spot.

However, a monster’s ultimate goal is to reach the ritual location where the rite was first conducted to allow their glorious master to pass into our world. And if a monster cannot reach an empty monster space on the campus, it moves directly to the ritual location instead. Monsters do not move out of the ritual location unless forced to move by an item card or the top effect of an action card. If the monster moves into the ritual location and cannot be placed there because all of the spaces are full, the location is overrun, and your investigators lose the game along with all hope of saving humanity!

The final step of the Ancient One Phase is to pass along the lead investigator token, guaranteeing that no matter how many investigators you have, everyone will have a chance to lead and be forced to make these difficult decisions at least twice. Just as every person is unique, so to may be their leadership style. You must trust and rely on one another if you are to have any hope of overcoming these horrors. With the fate of the world at stake, you must remain united. Only together can you undo the rite!

Stop the Clock

The Ancient Ones have awoken from their slumber and now, with the help of unhallowed rites, they have arisen to claim the world as theirs once more. Humanity teeters on the edge of extinction and only you can stop them now. Gather your team, face the maddening Ancient Ones, and undo the ritual before time runs out!

You were too late to stop the ritual, but you're not too late to save the world.

Arkham Horror: Final Hour presents you with a challenge unlike anything you’ve ever seen in the Arkham Horror Files universe. The time for investigations has ended as an Ancient One has already broken through to our world, monsters are closing in on all sides, and you are left with nothing but your will to fight and powers of deduction to save you!

Your team of brave investigators have eight rounds to reverse the summoning ritual of an eldritch cult and save Miskatonic University from the Ancient One while shielding the rest of the world from horrible truths it is not yet ready to face. If you fail to reverse the ritual, lose the campus to monsters, or sacrifice one of your own, the world is lost. You will need to do everything in your power to prepare your team and ensure that this does not happen!

Today, we are pleased to offer you a closer look at the Action Phase of Arkham Horror: Final Hour—now available for pre-order at your local retailer or online through our website with free shipping within the continental United States!

The Art of Cooperation

Entering the Arkham Horror Files canon as a breakneck cooperative game that is playable in under sixty minutes, Arkham Horror: Final Hour is played over a series of eight rounds. The first half of each round is the Action Phase, during which your investigators run across Miskatonic University, fight monsters, and investigate clues while enemies attempt to attack and overrun the campus.

Your investigators will only have the chance to play and resolve four action cards each round, regardless of the number of players you have. These cards determine what both you and the monsters do for the round. Each action card is divided into two parts: the top effect which always produces positive effects, perhaps allowing you to fight monsters or protect a campus location by sealing a walkway leading to it, and the bottom effect which usually allows you to investigate and discover helpful items and information that will help you win the game later, but also leaves the monsters free to roam about the campus and attack your allies.

Of the four action cards your team plays each round, you resolve the top effect of two cards and the bottom effect of the other two cards. You have no say over which action card you draw, all you can do is balance the risk and rewards of its two possibilities and weigh how much you need your preferred action to be performed. During your turn, you draw the top card of your action deck, secretly read it, and place it facedown, and your fellow investigators do the same. Then, you each play one priority card from your hand, placing it faceup on your action card. This is the only way that you can communicate the importance of performing a specific action with your team.

Priority cards are numbered 1 to 30 and they determine whether an investigator resolves the top or bottom effect of their action card—the lower the number, the more likely the top effect will be resolved. During this step, you cannot discuss strategy or share information—the faceup priority cards are your only means of communication. This means that if you are the investigator who takes the fourth turn, you will have the most information when choosing your priority card, but do you trust your teammates to make the right choice when they cannot have known what abilities you have at your disposal?

Priority cards can also have omen icons—ever watchful eyes that observe the actions of the investigators and pass that knowledge to the eldritch monstrosity that has entered Arkham. These often appear on particularly high or low numbered priority cards and they punish your investigators during the upcoming Ancient One Phase, strengthening your adversary for the privilege of certainty. You must decide how much risk you are willing to take on when facing the wrath of the Ancient One in order to ensure that the action you want to perform is executed.

Once you have all placed your priority cards, you take turns revealing and resolving your action cards, beginning with the action bearing the lowest-numbered priority card. For the first two action cards resolved, the investigator who revealed the card resolves the top effect of that card. For the last two action cards resolved, the investigator who revealed the card resolves the bottom effect.

A United Defense

Now that you know how to work together with your teammates, let’s look at what kinds of actions you will be balancing alongside your allies. The main actions you will be executing are fighting and investigating. Both of these are vital pieces of strategy—if you do not control the number of monsters on the board, the campus may be overrun, or an ally may be killed. But if you do not find any clues, you will only have a loose guess at how to reverse the ritual and your chances of successfully undoing the rite decrease drastically.

To fight a monster, you distribute the number of hits indicated on your action card among the monsters in the specified location. If a monster is assigned hits equal to or exceeding the health indicated on its token, it is destroyed. And if you're very lucky, you may find an action card with an effect that instructs you to destroy a monster outright. When this happens, the monster is destroyed regardless of its health. But be sure that when you wish to take on one or more of these malicious enemies that you can stand up to and defeat them within a single encounter, for if a monster is not assigned enough hits to be destroyed, it retains its full health and you are still left in its warpath.

With this action card, Michael McGlen may either destroy the two weaker monsters at his location, or the strongest one.

As you run through the monster-ridden university, you may wish to protect locations from roaming enemies by placing seals along their paths. When you seal a walkway, you place a seal token with the gold side faceup on that walkway. While a walkway cannot have more than one seal token, it prevents the location from being infested by destroying any monster that runs into it. Once this happens, the seal token is weakened and flipped to its gray side. If its gray side is already faceup when a monster makes impact, it is destroyed along with the monster.

To investigate a location, if there is a clue token in the location, you simply flip the token faceup and resolve its effect. If the clue turns out to be an item, you discard the token and draw the top card of the item deck, placing it faceup next to your action deck. Items provide powerful abilities to that can aid you in your race against time. For example, you may find a Gate Box to move yourself and an ally to any location you wish or a Ruby of R'lyeh to grant you insight into the abilities of your fellow investigators.

Other than useful items, a clue token may reveal a key ritual icon. When one of these are revealed, you place the clue token at the bottom of the board in an empty circle that has a matching icon. This helps you prepare for reversing the ritual at the end of the game, eliminating possibilities and helping investigators decide which priority cards to hold onto until the end of the game. The more priority cards you have that have the ritual symbol matching the one you need, the better prepared you will be to reverse the rite and end the madness!

Once your investigators have resolved their actions, they discard their action cards, but not the priority cards. These must be collected and evaluated during the next phase, as the investigators end their turn and the Ancient One steps forth. Then all you can hope is that you have done enough to survive their assault and buy yourself just a little more time. Keep an eye on our website as we take a look at the unthinkable horrors you will be facing in a future preview!

The Final Stroke of Midnight

In the city’s darkest hour, Arkham has turned to you as its one last hope. You cannot fail now. Stand tall, stay united, and face the horror of the Ancient Ones together!

“I have looked upon all the universe has to hold of horror, and even the skies of spring and flowers of summer must ever afterward be poison to me.”
–H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

It is a chill evening. You are walking past the graveyard when, out of the corner of your eye, you spot something dart by. Turning for a better look, you see nothing behind you, but you can’t shake that feeling that makes you walk just a little faster and the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Even when you reach the safety of home, you know that something in the air has shifted.

The time of monsters is upon you.

Arkham Horror: Final Hour

Published 2 August 2019 | Arkham Horror: Final Hour

Arkham Horror: Final Hour

A New Board Game of Mystery and Mayhem

The Thing cannot be described—there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled.
If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.
-H.P. Lovecraft, “The Call of Cthulhu”

One hour until midnight. Time to save the world.

After a sinister cult conducted an eldritch rite to clear the way for a transdimensional Ancient One and its minions to enter our reality, you arrived at the ritual site too late. An iridescent rift slashes across the sky, heralding the nightmarish creatures that pour into the hallowed buildings of Miskatonic University. As howls and screams cut through the night, there is only one path left for your fearless investigators—hold back the horde and find some way, any way to reverse the summoning.

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Arkham Horror: Final Hour—now available for pre-order at your local retailer or online through our website with free shipping within the continental United States!

Arkham Horror: Final Hour offers your investigators a fast-paced, fully cooperative Arkham Horror gaming experience that can be played in under 60 minutes. As an endless tide of monsters sweeps across the Miskatonic University campus, you must hold them back while searching desperately for the ritual components you need to put an end to the insanity. Your fate depends on the cooperation between you and your fellow investigators. The odds against you are astronomical, but if you fail, this will indeed be the final hour for Arkham… and the world.

A Fight for Survival

The cult behind the Ancient One’s summoning may have escaped your grasp, but they left behind many clues to the workings of their evil rites. If you can find and piece these clues together before time runs out, you may discover how to reverse the ritual and banish the Ancient One from the world.

But time is not your ally. You have only eight rounds in which to accomplish this task, each divided into two parts. First, your investigators use their actions to defeat monsters and uncover clues. Then, once all players have acted, the Ancient One strengthens its hold on the world, producing horrible effects and spawning more monsters through growing gates that litter the Miskatonic University campus. With each round, your task becomes more difficult as ever more monsters threaten to overpower your investigators and overrun the campus. Time is against you, and you must hurry to deduce the proper ritual components before your time runs out.

You Are Arkham's Last Hope

Arkham Horror: Final Hour invites you to step into the shoes of Arkham’s finest investigators, each ready to defend the Earth no matter the cost. As Final Hour focuses more on combat than other Arkham Horror Files titles, you may choose between six of the scrappiest characters this universe has to offer. Whether it's Jenny Barnes with her twin .45s, Michael McGlenn with his Chicago Typewriter, or Lily Chen with her unmatched mastery of martial arts, each investigator has their own set of skills and ways to help the group with their unique deck of action cards. These action cards let you move across campus, fight monsters, or search for the clues you need to reverse the ritual. You must prioritize and balance your actions across your team, working together to defeat your enemies and find the keys to undoing this madness. But communicating with your fellow investigators is not as easy as you may expect.

The top effects of Jenny's action cards let her move or fight with no negative effects. The bottom effects may still let her investigate, but with a price!

As you run across the Miskatonic University campus, fighting monsters and searching for ritual components, you do not have time to sit and consult your plan of action. You must make your decisions largely on your own, choosing how to best resolve your action card and communicating with your team only through the use of priority cards. Each action card features a top effect that produces only positive effects, such as allowing you to fight monsters or protect locations, and a bottom effect that may allow you to investigate but leaves monsters free to wreak havoc of the campus. Your team must resolve the top effect of two action cards and the bottom effect two cards, which you determine by playing priority cards, your team’s only means of communication. You have no choice which action card you draw, but may choose any of the four priority cards in your hand to express to your team the importance that your top action be resolved—the lower the number of your priority card, the more likely it is that your top action will be resolved.

Once every player has chosen a priority card, the action cards are revealed and resolved. As Grand Gala has the lowest priority, its effect is resolved first.

For example, if Jenny Barnes draws her action A Color for All Seasons, she may wish to play the lowest priority card possible to ensure that the top effect is resolved, and she does not have to go searching for Izzie, unleashing monsters with each step. But even this comes with risks. By playing a particularly high or low priority card, you may end up strengthening the Ancient One and putting your team in even greater peril. Balance and communication will be the key to your victory, or at the very least, your survival.

The Rite Must Be Undone

But just fighting back the monsters will not be enough. You are here to reverse the rite and banish the Ancient One from Arkham once and for all. To do so, you must discover the necessary ritual components. At the start of each game, two clue tokens with matching ritual symbols are set aside, out of play, while the rest are scattered facedown about the campus for you to uncover. In order to end the madness, you must use the bottom effects of your action cards to investigate campus locations. As you deduce which ritual symbol you need, you will learn which matching priority cards to keep in your hand to help reverse the rite. Even if investigating with the bottom effect of your action card will illicit negative effects, it may well be worth it if it brings you closer to your goal—and with the fate of the world at stake, this is not the time to be overly cautious.

If you investigate at your location, you'll flip a clue token at that location faceup to either reveal an item or a clue in the form of a ritual icon. Most clue tokens and some priority cards have one of five possible ritual icons. Each game of Arkham Horror: Final Hour will require a different icon in order to reverse the ritual. Your team’s goal is to have as many priority cards as possible with the right ritual icons when you attempt to reverse the ritual.

In order to deduce which icon you need, you must investigate clue tokens at various campus locations to eliminate possibilities. When the first copy of an icon is revealed, that icon’s chance of being needed for the ritual is reduced; if the other clue token showing that icon is revealed, it is eliminated as a possibility. Once you determine which ritual icon you need, you are ready to attempt your own eldritch rite to undo the cult’s dark machinations.

The diamond has been eliminated as a possibility and the hourglass has only a fifty percent chance of being needed for the ritual.

If you are all in agreement, your team may attempt to reverse the ritual at the end of any round. However, you cannot share information about which priority cards you have in your hand. All you can tell your fellow investigators is whether you are ready to reverse the ritual or not, and hope. When you attempt your own eldritch rite to counter the cult, each investigator commits three priority cards from their hand. If the number of cards with the correct ritual icons is at least twice the number of investigators, the ritual will be undone and Arkham will be safe once more! But if you fail, Arkham will fall to the power of the Mythos and chaos will reign over the Earth. The fate of the world is in your hands—you must defend it!

A Ticking Clock

Every second counts in you mission to save the world from the Ancient Ones. The odds are stacked against you, but with your team of loyal investigators at your side, you just may be able to reverse that madness and return Arkham to the peaceful New England town of your memory. Unite your allies, fight the chaos, and prepare for the battle of a lifetime!
