Rex Murphy Returns as Parallel Investigator in Arkham Horror: The Card Game https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/rex-murphy-returns-as-parallel-investigator-in-arkham-horror-the-card-game/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/rex-murphy-returns-as-parallel-investigator-in-arkham-horror-the-card-game/#respond Thu, 21 Mar 2024 23:11:58 +0000 https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/?p=15698 Fantasy Flight Games has announced a new addition to Arkham Horror: The Card Game, introducing Rex Murphy as a parallel investigator. This version of Murphy presents a novel approach to gameplay, focusing on his characteristic blend of investigative prowess and notorious luck.

Rex Murphy, featured in the Parallel Investigators set, demonstrates an ability to leverage his ill fortune for strategic gain. This iteration allows players to alternate between two gameplay styles: utilizing clues from their location and manipulating the chaos bag with curse tokens. This mechanic offers a versatile method for managing the costs of playing cards, enriching the strategic depth of the game.

The update modifies Murphy’s deckbuilding capabilities, limiting his access to Seeker cards to levels 0-3. To compensate, he gains access to Cursed and Gambit cards up to level 4, along with the option to add up to five level 0 Rogue cards. This broadened range encourages players to experiment with new combinations and strategies, particularly through the inclusion of Fortune and Blessed cards, with the stipulation they are not also Cursed.

“Search for the Truth,” Rex Murphy’s signature event card, has been upgraded in this parallel version. It now offers players a choice between drawing a card for each clue they control or placing all clues on their location to recover a card from their discard pile. This advanced option also introduces the potential to add up to 10 curse tokens to the chaos bag, emphasizing Murphy’s thematic struggle with luck.

In an exciting turn of events for fans of the #ArkhamLCG, “The Feast of Hemlock Vale” invites players to delve into the enigmatic world of Hemlock Isle. The story begins with Dr. Rosa Marquez, a renowned botanist, who stumbles upon a peculiar sample originating from the secluded Hemlock Isle. Sensing that something sinister is at play, she calls upon the investigators to explore the island with her.

Hemlock Isle is a place of contrasts, where the daylight hours are spent mingling with locals and uncovering the mysteries of the island. However, as night falls, the true danger emerges. The island transforms into a perilous landscape overrun by deadly, mutated wildlife. The investigators are thrust into a race against time, with only three days to unravel the secrets lurking beneath Hemlock Vale and prevent a catastrophe.

The campaign promises a thrilling adventure for one to four players, requiring them only to have the Arkham Horror: The Card Game Revised Core Set to embark on this new journey. “The Feast of Hemlock Vale” is not a standalone expansion, underscoring the necessity of the core set for gameplay.

Players can look forward to immersing themselves in the entirety of The Feast of Hemlock Vale campaign, which is encapsulated in this latest release. Will the investigators manage to uncover the truth of Hemlock Isle in time, or will they fall victim to the horrors that await them in the shadows?

Fantasy Flight Games To Release “The Dream-Eaters” Expansions for Arkham Horror LCG https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/fantasy-flight-games-to-release-the-dream-eaters-expansions-for-arkham-horror-lcg/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/fantasy-flight-games-to-release-the-dream-eaters-expansions-for-arkham-horror-lcg/#respond Thu, 15 Feb 2024 20:11:58 +0000 https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/?p=14968 Fantasy Flight Games has announced the much-anticipated return of “The Dream-Eaters,” the latest in its series of expansions for the critically acclaimed Arkham Horror: The Card Game. This repackage of the fifth cycle of content introduces “The Dream-Eaters Investigator Expansion” and “The Dream-Eaters Campaign Expansion,” catering to both new enthusiasts and seasoned veterans of the game. Scheduled for release in May and June, these expansions promise a riveting journey into the Dreamlands, a mystifying realm inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

“The Dream-Eaters” cycle is distinguished by its unique structure, dividing player cards and campaign content between two separate expansions. This allows players to fully immerse themselves in the narrative, whether they are interested in expanding their arsenal of investigators or delving into the game’s rich storyline.

The Investigator Expansion introduces a diverse cast of five new investigators, each bringing their unique abilities to the fore. Notably, Tommy Muldoon, the rookie cop, showcases a resilience to damage and horror, while Luke Robinson, the mystic dreamer, offers unparalleled mobility through his signature location, the Dream-Gate. This expansion also enriches the game with new deckbuilding options, featuring cards with the “myriad” and “bonded” keywords to enhance gameplay variety.

In a twist that sets “The Dream-Eaters” apart from previous cycles, the Campaign Expansion offers not one, but two interconnected narratives: The Dream-Quest and The Web of Dreams. Players can explore these stories separately or weave them into a single, expansive campaign. This dual-narrative approach challenges players to navigate both the whimsical and nightmarish aspects of the Dreamlands, as well as the creeping terror within the waking world of Arkham.

Fantasy Flight Games reassures long-time fans that the repackaged expansions do not contain new content for those who have previously explored “The Dream-Eaters” cycle. However, the reissue presents a perfect opportunity for newcomers to jump into the adventure and for collectors to complete their collections.

Pre-orders for “The Dream-Eaters Investigator Expansion” (AHC78) and “The Dream-Eaters Campaign Expansion” (AH79) are now open. Players are encouraged to secure their copies through local retailers or directly from the Fantasy Flight Games webstore.
