The year is 1926, and the Roaring Twenties are in full swing. Flappers dance until dawn in smoke-filled speakeasies, sipping rum runners\\\' and the mob\\\'s alcohol. In the aftermath of the War to End All Wars, it\\\'s a celebration to end all celebrations. In the city of Arkham, however, a terrible shadow is growing. Ancient Ones are alien beings that lurk in the void beyond space and time, writhing at the world\\\'s borders. Before the Ancient Ones make our world their damaged kingdom, occult practices must be stopped and extraterrestrial species exterminated. Only a few investigators stand in the way of the Arkham Horror. Will they be victorious? Arkham Horror (Third Edition) is a cooperative board game in which they play as investigators tasked with ridding the world of eldritch entities known as Ancient Ones. Based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, players will need to gather clues, combat scary monsters, and acquire tools and allies if they are to defeat the things who lurk just outside our reality\\\'s curtain.
