Product description

There was a night when winds from unknown spaces whirled us irresistibly into limitless vacuum beyond all thought and entity.

   –H.P. Lovecraft, “Hypnos”

Across the five cycles of Arkham Horror: The Card Game, you’ve encountered new investigators in each deluxe expansion, giving you more and more options for building your decks and exploring the mythos. Now, for the first time, you have the chance to invite five new faces to your games with a new type of product—Investigator Starter Decks!

Each Investigator Starter Deck includes a fully pre-built and ready-to-play 34-card investigator deck, as well as 26 additional cards that can be used to upgrade your deck as you play through a campaign. Perhaps you’re entirely new to the game—if your friend has a Arkham Horror: The Card Game collection, no longer do you need to buy your own Core Set or build your own deck to join in a campaign. You can simply pick out your favorite Investigator Starter Deck and start playing immediately.

Even if you’re a veteran player, there are plenty of reasons to pick up these Investigator Starter Decks. All five of these investigators are brand-new to Arkham Horror: The Card Game, and three of them are completely new to the Arkham Horror Files universe! Every starter deck is primarily composed of new cards entering the game for the first time, making these expansions the ideal way to quickly grow your player card collection and discover new ways to play. And of course, they’re perfect for helping a friend get started on their first campaign of Arkham Horror: The Card Game!

 

Winifred Habbamock

Winifred was always one of the smartest kids in her reservation school, but her reckless attitude and lack of respect for authority often got her in trouble. When she found an old biplane in a barn and took it out for a spin, her life was forever changed—and she’s now known as the “woman without fear.” Winifred Habbamock (Winifred Habbamock Investigator Starter Deck, 1) lives her life by pushing the limits, and you’re encouraged to do the same in the game. So long as you commit at least two cards to a skill test, you’ll draw a card from your deck, giving you an incentive to lean into the Rogues’ tendency to pass skill tests with flying colors.

For example, you may take aim with a Mauser C96 (Winifred Habbamock Investigator Starter Deck, 6), a new Firearm that packs quite a punch—however, you can only shoot it once per turn, unless you can ready it by succeeding at your skill test by two or more. Or, you may commit Nimble (Winifred Habbamock Investigator Starter Deck, 17) to a skill test, allowing you to quickly slip away from a sticky entanglement.

 

Once you start upgrading Winifred’s deck with the experience you earn, you have a full range of options to choose from. You may boost your skill test potential with an upgraded, Rogue version of Manual Dexterity (Winifred Habbamock Investigator Starter Deck, 25). Not only does this skill card boast more icons, it lets you draw more cards if the test succeeds by two or more. Alternatively, you may grab Copycat (Winifred Habbamock Investigator Starter Deck, 30), a new skill that lets you copy a skill from the discard pile of any other investigator!
