Arkham Horror

Arkham Horror is an adventure board game designed by Richard Launius, most recently published in 2005 by Fantasy Flight Games. A previous, different, edition was published in 1987 by Chaosium.

They must work together to hold back the horrors of the Great Old Ones, lest these outside forces destroy the world.
