What is Arkham Horror: The Card Game? It's a co-op LCG from Fantasy Flight Games in which players create investigator decks and tackle mysteries. Neat. Tell me more! Each player chooses an investigator and then builds a deck according to that investigator's requirements. Each investigator belongs to one or more classes (Guardian, Seeker, Rogue, Mystic, and Survivor), and I'll talk more about them below. Each investigator also has both a beneficial card and weakness unique to them. Additionally, a player will either be making a deck for campaign or standalone mode.   Investigator Classes The five classes determine what card pool an investigator can draw from, and thus determines their playstyle, strengths, and weaknesses. These are: Guardians: The theme of Guardians is standing up to the unknown with the mundane. Guns, knives, and occasionally rolling a bundle of dynamite into a cultist gathering. Their main stat is Might. Seekers: Nerds. Total nerds. They're the best at investigating, however, and that's how you win the game. Main stat is Intellect. Mystics: They are magical people who cast spells at the darkness. Main stat is Willpower. Rogues: Rogues get by with cards that mess around with the rules. Main stat is Agility. Survivors: Survivors' are good at managing close calls and turning failures into successes. They don't have a main stat. Pity them. Modes of Play Campaign Mode: You start the game with 0 xp for your deck, and play through a series of scenarios that will affect your investigator, usually for the worse. Standalone Mode: Build an deck with up to 50 xp and tackle a single scenario. How to Play Scenarios are usually tackled by gaining enough clues to advance the Act deck. Get to the end of it and you'll win the game. However, you're racing against the Agenda deck, a perpetually advancing series of cards that screw over the player. Players find clues, fight enemies, dodge perils by Skill tests. You pull a token out of the Chaos Bag, add or subtract the modifier from your relevant stat, and if you meet or exceed the target number, you win!

I'd like to have better descriptions of the classes in my OP, so if someone has a good breakdown of one or more of them, I'd appreciate it. Like for instance, I didn't know Rogues were the econ faction. That's useful info!

Played The House Always Wins, hosed up and spent too long grabbing clues, got mobbed by a wave of Monsters. And now The O'Bannion Gang has a bone to pick with us.

Got our asses kicked so quickly in Carnevale that neither of the end conditions were fulfilled. Does the Grim Rule kick in here?

I misplaced the box containing our decks, and it's starting to look like the misplacement was permanent. Is there a place selling singles for AH?
