    4:36 Ah yes, my favorite Arkham Horror expansion: "Land Down Under". Including the excellent mythos packs: "Den in Bombay", "Women Glow", "Men Plunder", "Hear the Thunder", and "Better Take Cover". All ending with the thrilling conclusion of "Vegemite Sandwich".

    now i know why there is a world shortage of the packs. You have bought 10 or more copies of each...

      Ha ha ha! We wish. You know we did consider running an online store of some kind back in the day.

    Thanks for the explanation! Arkham horror LCG can be a bit overwhelming at first- there doesn’t seem to be a visible cycle numbering system by FFG - hopefully FFG starts to print more card packs for new gamers to start playing- love the videos! Keep up the fantastic work!

    This was such an informative and highly entertaining tongue in cheek video! 😆 This is the first AH newbie guide that I was able to finish watching as the narrator's manner of speaking kept me entertained along with the concise manner the relevant information was presented! Thumbs up, indeed! And thank you so much!👍

    Hey, Could you make a video of the Buying order of all the available sets. If someone is going to buy 1 box at a time, whether that be the campaign or investigator box, or a second box of something, or extras or storage items. 1 item at a time.

    "you may purchase a whole cycle in one go" - No you can't lol

    Great video, as someone very new to the game (and games in general!) I found it very useful, thanks!
    I have a question if I may? I understand that the release process for new expansions has changed from a deluxe box and 6 mythos packs to a box for the campaign expansion and another box for the investigator expansion? Is it better for a new player to skip the older expansions and go for the Edge of the Earth expansion because it just comes in two boxes? Or does it not make any difference at all? I have the revised core set currently and am wondering whether to get the campaign and investigator expansions for EotE or the deluxe box and 6 mythos packs for the Dunwich Legacy.
    Actually, I've just been looking online and it looks like the Dunwich Legacy is coming out in a month or two as a two-box expansion, so maybe I'll just wait for that...!

    • @ArkhamChronicle
      @ArkhamChronicle  Před 2 lety

      The new model is much easier to track down and purchase all in one go.

  • @TerrasBirth
    @TerrasBirth Před 3 lety

    Thank you for the video! I just bought a 2nd core set and the bags the cards are missing the blue stickers and the cards feel flimsy and some of the cards look... off. I have tried looking online for answers but haven't really found anything. Any insight would help!

    • @ArkhamChronicle
      @ArkhamChronicle  Před 3 lety

      You would probably need to post pictures to somewhere like Reddit or Boardgame Geek for people to look at.

    @kevins2726 Před 3 lety

    I love this game but only have 1 complete cycle (Dunwich) as like others have said the packs are just never in stock!
    When you say the cards are re-printed twice a year do you mean every card produced is printed at the same time twice? or that each set gets printed twice a year but at different times to another set?
    If that makes no sense I mean are Dunwich and Dream eaters cycles printed at the same time or different

    • @ArkhamChronicle
      @ArkhamChronicle  Před 3 lety

      Each product type. So all of Dunwich. All the Investigator Starter decks. Etc.

    Hey man, I really want to get into this. I’m guessing I’m playing solo, should I go ahead and grab the core set now… OR… wait for the revised core set? Again I’m planning to only play solo. Hope for your opinion. ☺️🙂

    • @ArkhamChronicle
      @ArkhamChronicle  Před 3 lety

      It’s up to you.
      If you want to play today then hunt down a current core box or two. Maybe second-hand.
      The revised will be a more convenient and polished product but you don’t really need something that supports up to 4 players.

    • @cameraman502
      @cameraman502 Před 2 lety

      I went a head a bought the current version. Since (1) I plan on playing solo or maybe one other person (2) I wanted it now and in light of (1) I could do it.

    It’s important to remember kids that ‘Cthulhu’ is fictional. Much like a full cycle it does not exist.

    My group has taken leveled up characters into second campaigns. I don’t find them OP, they usually have so much trauma and weaknesses that it levels out

    Where are people selling whole collection's? I have a 95% complete, sleeved collection with all sorts of accessories. Just missing the 6 Insmouth mythos packs and The War of the Outer God's stand alone. Thinking of parting ways with my beloved collection.

    New player here, came for an informative breakdown but had to stop watching because of the tone of voice, was super irritating.

  • @danyjacco4853
    @danyjacco4853 Před 2 lety

    Why do you talk like that?! It's very tedious listening to your tone, can't you just talk normally? You're not a tv host!

      It certainly got you to pay attention. And even leave a comment. Mission accomplished! :D
