Asmodee Arkham Horror The Roleplaying Game CORE RULEBOOK — Immersive 1920s Mystery (2–6 Players)

Step into Arkham’s shadowy 1920s world

In the Roaring Twenties, glamour and danger mingle as investigators step beyond the ordinary city streets. The Asmodee Arkham Horror Core Rulebook invites you to craft collaborative stories where clues, contradictions, and hidden threats shape every moment. All you need to begin is this book and a handful of six sided dice to tell your own legends with friends.

The mood is tactile and immersive, with foggy avenues, flickering lamplight, and whispers from unseen places. The stakes feel personal as you chase puzzles, face uncanny beings, and decide how far you will push luck, sanity, and courage. The experience is designed to be as much a social event as a battle of wates and wits, with space for both suspense and wonder.
