Doom has come to Arkham. You and your friends are all that stands in the way of an ancient horror...
Arkham Horror is a Lovecraftian-inspired setting that primarily takes place in the 1920s and is centered around the city of Arkham, Massachusetts and its surrounding counties. Brave investigators use everything at their disposal to stop malicious cults and beings from invading the world and destroying humanity. From tommy guns and Molotov cocktails to occult magic and ancient knowledge, all that stands in the way of the end of everything is you and your allies.

The Dynamic Pool System (DPS) is a deceptively simple mechanical framework that uses 6-sided dice to represent characters' ability to perform actions, their physical health, and their mental state. Dice can be spent to perform simple or complex actions, and special abilities called Knacks can be used to modify or supplement the use of dice. Because the system is entirely built around d6s, the mechanics are easy to learn, but the dynamic and open-design allows for interesting strategic and narrative moments.

This box is a full and complete experience that requires no prior knowledge of tabletop RPGs, board games, or Arkham Horror to play.
