Arkham Horror LCG: Dunwich Legacy Investigator Expansion

A monstrous presence once terrorized the secluded village of Dunwich. The season of horror ended only after three professors from Miskatonic University—Dr. Henry Armitage, Dr. Francis Morgan, and Professor Warren Price—ventured to Dunwich, armed with secret knowledge that enabled them to defeat the creature. Now, several months later, Dr. Armitage’s colleagues have gone missing, and he fears the worst...

Return to the very first cycle of content for Arkham Horror LCG with The Dunwich Legacy Investigator Expansion and The Dunwich Legacy Campaign Expansion. Similar to the previously-announced Edge of the Earth expansions, all player cards for this cycle can be found within the Investigator Expansion while all campaign- and scenario-related cards can be found in the Campaign Expansion. This is the perfect opportunity for new fans of the game to experience its very first full-length campaign, and for longtime fans to catch up on any parts they may have missed. Whether you want just one of the expansions or both, no Arkham fan will want to miss The Dunwich Legacy!

Note: Any longtime fans of Arkham Horror: The Card Game who already own everything from the original The Dunwich Legacy cycle will not find any new cards or content within these two new expansions.

Drifting into Dunwich
In order to help you overcome the terrors of the Mythos, The Dunwich Legacy Investigator Expansion comes with five playable investigators to rise to the challenge.

Each investigator has their own strengths and weaknesses, and the five from The Dunwich Legacy all share an interesting level of deckbuilding adaptability. While the investigators from the core set are limited to just one “primary” class and one “secondary” class of cards—such as Roland Banks (Revised Core Set, 1) only being able to include Guardian and Seeker cards, respectively—all of The Dunwich Legacy investigators can include cards from any class outside of their “primary” one in their deck! However, the trade-off is each of these investigators can only include up to 5 out-of-class cards in their decks, and only ever at their most basic level. You’ll have to plan carefully if you want to bring out the full potential of these five characters!

Whether or not you mix up their decks, there is no denying that the investigators themselves have plenty of tools to combat the Mythos. Take Zoey Samaras (The Dunwich Legacy Investigator Expansion, 1), for example. With high health and solid sanity, Zoey is perfectly suited to dive into the fray against monsters of all kinds. By using Taunt (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 17) to draw enemies in and then brandishing her cross (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 6) at them, Zoey can deal some preemptive damage before she even attacks her foes. With events like Emergency Aid (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 105) and "If it bleeds..." (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 225), Zoey can keep fighting pretty much indefinitely, which is good, since she also has an obsessive need to Smite the Wicked (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 7). If she can’t defeat her designated foe by the end of the scenario, then the guilt will haunt her for the rest of the campaign!

Where Zoey follows a determined path of righteous smiting, "Ashcan" Pete (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 5) follows the road to wherever it takes him next. With his trusty dog Duke (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 14) at his side, Pete is a kindhearted drifter who just wants to help any people he can. While Pete’s stats may not seem that impressive at first glance, Duke more than makes up for his lack of both combat and investigation skills, and the best part? Duke doesn’t even count toward Pete’s ally slot, which means he’s never forced to choose between his best friend and another ally. (And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t choose Duke?)

Even if Duke is exhausted, Pete still has access to some handy tricks up his sleeve. With a Fire Axe (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 32) in hand, Pete can spend some resources to reliably attack an enemy, and he can always check out the Newspaper (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 155) if he needs help with an investigation. Even if none of these things are available, Pete can always Rise to the Occasion (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 192) in a pinch. Pete just needs to be careful not to rely on his assets too much—if he becomes Wracked by Nightmares (The Dunwich Legacy IE, 15), he won’t be able to use any of them!
