Confront ancient bloodlines, unearth horrifying family secrets, and fight to preserve your sanity in a narrative-rich, compact campaign expansion for the definitive cooperative Lovecraftian card game.
Arkham Horror: The Card Game – Children of Blood (published by Fantasy Flight Games) delivers a focused, multi-part narrative arc designed to test your investigators' resolve, deck synergy, and decision-making. Moving away from standalone scenario packs or full-sized deluxe cycle formats, this small-format campaign expansion provides an interconnected storyline centered on occult blood rituals, cursed lineages, and eldritch horrors lurking just beneath the surface of New England. The primary gameplay objective revolves around cooperative survival and investigation: players tailor their custom investigator decks, gather clues across shifting locations, and confront menacing scenario objectives before the doom counter triggers catastrophic consequences.
The primary mechanical hurdle stems from navigating escalating scenario treacheries, strict agenda timers, and branch-heavy story resolutions where every choice leaves physical and mental trauma on your investigators. Throughout each scenario, players must manage their hand of assets and events, balance test skill values against chaos bag token pulls, and coordinate actions across the table to defeat unique monsters and advance the Act deck. Designed for 1 to 4 players aged 14 and up, individual scenarios unfold across 60 to 90 minutes. To survive the campaign intact, investigators must adapt their deck-building upgrades between sessions, resolve tough moral dilemmas, and uncover the sinister truth behind the ritual before the ancient bloodline awakens.
