Gone Cardboard: Arkham Horror: Innsmouth Horror Expansion, Coming from FFG

Fantasy Flight Games has announced a new, big box expansion for the unstoppable juggernaut that is Arkham Horror, one based on author H.P. Lovecraft’s take on a small fishing village that he located in Massachusetts. Here’s a description of the forthcoming Innsmouth Horror Expansion from FFG:

Innsmouth Horror introduces several new game concepts to the Arkham Horror board game, including Personal Stories unique to each investigator as well as the Innsmouth Look. The town of Innsmouth is hostile to the investigators, and they may well find themselves thrown in jail and fed to a Shoggoth while they search the town for evidence to call in the Feds. However, leaving Innsmouth to fester is a bad idea, since the Deep Ones will gather and rise, bringing with them the Ancient One.

Innsmouth Horror also adds 16 new investigators, eight new Ancient Ones, two new Heralds, Epic Battle cards for the new Ancient Ones, over 30 new monster markers, plenty of new encounters, and an expansion board featuring the town of Innsmouth. Over all, this expansion adds over 300 new cards to the base game.

Arkham Horror: Innsmouth Horror Expansion is due out in May 2009 and retails for $50. More details on the blighted town of Innsmouth and artwork from the expansion can be seen in the news announcement for this item on the FFG website. This game has been added to Gone Cardboard.
