Arkham Horror: The Card Game – Dim Carcosa Mythos Pack

The Dim Carcosa Mythos Pack is the final scenario in the Path to Carcosa cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game. This expansion takes 1–4 players aged 14 and up on a 1–2 hour journey into the alien city of Carcosa, where reality unravels and madness beckons. Designed as the concluding chapter, it requires the Arkham Horror: The Card Game Core Set and the Path to Carcosa deluxe expansion to play.

What Makes Dim Carcosa Unique?

Unlike earlier mythos packs, Dim Carcosa changes how you explore locations. Every location starts with its revealed side face up—there are no hidden areas. Instead, story cards advance the plot, pushing your investigation toward its climax. The scenario embraces the theme of insanity: even as your investigator's sanity shatters, the story continues. You'll face impossible odds as you journey beyond the cosmos and confront the horror of Hastur, the King in Yellow.
