The rabbit hole with this game goes deeeeeeeeep. Once you get more cards you're going to want a better organization system and dividers. And dont get me started on custom components like acrylic tokens and investigator dashboards. Totally worth it though. As a fellow former MTG player, this is my favourite game by far.

@@Kiratze I went cheap for investigator cards because this game is expensive enough. I use 6 different color 3-ring binders (green for rogues, red for survivors, etc and the 6th was white for neutral/multi-color cards) and 9 pocket sleeves that go in said binders. Dividers have been fan-made on bgg and you can print them off. They work great.

Is there a place I can go to find all the expansions etc? I want to know the full list of expansions! 🙏

As someone who did go all in, getting color coded binders for all the cards once you have a large enough collection makes it super easy to flip through all the cards and brainstorm ideas on what to build or upgrade around vs leaving them in a box as a Giant stack

I'm considering buying Arkham and Final Girl board games. I've always wanted to get into board games but can never get friends to commit to a game night so these two options give me a single player experience without the headache of planning with more than 1 player.

Great video! Some thoughts: Survivor cards are a bit hard to nail down, but I think the common theme of them is "finding strength in adversity". You have cards that reward you for things like not having resources or allies, or that pick things up from your discard pile, or that turn a failure into a success or at least mitigate the failure. With a larger card pool, there are some serious shenanigans going on with survivors. For more replayability, FFG used to make "Return to X" boxes for each campaign (up through The Circle Undone, I think). These usually had some higher-level versions of some player cards, but the main point was that they had alternate cards for various scenarios. In some cases these replaced particular encounter sets (the card groups identified by a particular symbol you use to set up the encounter deck for a scenario), and in other cases providing alternate locations so you'd randomize which ones you'd use from game to game. They don't seem to be making these anymore from Dream-Eaters forward, and they haven't been reprinting them for a while so they can get kinda pricey.

Haha I did the same. Originally, just want the core and Dunwich. Now, I have 2 other expansions and I haven’t even finished Dunwich yet. I’m 3 campaigns in.

Just got into it myself. I mean, I've always loved the game but I wasn't interested in buying an lcg. But then they go and make it practical and accessible so now is the time, if ever, to get into it and I started picking up the campaign and investigator expansions along with the revised core set. The card pool is so expanded at this point that there are so many great decks to enjoy no matter what your style of play is. Such a good game and so well made.

I just found you with this video, as I am newly getting into AHLCG myself. And I love your presentation style, well spoken and easy to listen to. Subscribed! I hope you continue to make more content. I'm going to go try to catch up on all your existing content now 😅

Welcome to the hole! This game has become a collection more than an actual game for me at this point. I started with the original core box and the dunwich cycle, then got the Chinese version of all cycles (because it was cheaper). After sleeving those cards and played the core scenario solo, I decided that the Chinese versions aren't worth collecting and started searching for English options. I managed to get my hands on the entire 5th and 6th cycle thanks to local stores and amazon, but cycles 1 to 4 were really hard to collect them all. Luckily FFG announced they were repackaging the old cycles and I bought the dunwich cycle AND 2nd edition core and replaced all my old cards. I just bought the Carcossa and Scarlet keys cycle and I realized how much money I sank into this. But at least I have all but the 3rd and 4th cycle that is in English. I always told myself I would play another game (have no irl friends interested), but organizing and sleeving the card IS THE GAME.

I ended up getting all the Dunwich Legacy content, too. Resisting the urge to get Carcosa until I play through what I have

well some glass beads and metal tray for those beads go a long way to make the experience more premium I used 25mm for the chaos tokens and for investigators and smaller ones for some resources and to show connections bettwen locations

I am in the exact same boat. I got into this game in the past couple months. I have now bought the revised core set, the dunwutch legacy campaign, the path to carcosa campaign, the edge of the earth investigators expansion, the scarlet keys investigators expansion, a starter deck, coin capsules, two storage boxes, and sleeves for every card.

This game is so great. I have all of it. And it is all amazing. Also extremely frustrating and difficult, but the stories and scenarios are always great.

Same here. Me and my brother first started with the revised core. Played that about 3 times before we bought Dunwich first and then Carcosa and then bought the whole Innsmouth Conspiracy Cycle. All the while we've been upgrading stuff, getting token protectors, sleeves, dividers etc. And as I'm typing this comment I'm waiting on our binders for the player cards and some Dragon Shield sleeves. Yep, this is a real money drainer. BUT IT'S COMPLETELY WORTH IT

We have similar brains, this game got its hooks in me recently and I’m sucked in deep! Also trying to be strong and not just buy everything right away haha. I also have MTG roots and recently sold most of my collection and Arkham Horror scratches that itch, but love that you can play solo and more story focused. I also went with the dragon shields and the coin cases and it feels so good!

I have the original AH LCG and quickly lost interest in it, with the little card packs etc.. With the revised core set and the campaigns, I regained interest in AH LCG and went off the deep end. I purchased the revised core set and all of the released campaigns, with investigators, and pre-ordered The Forgotten Age. I also got some coin capsules. I sleeve the cards when I'm ready to use an investigator or chapter. I also got some investigator mats and stuff from the Game Crafter. For the potential amount of game play I still find it somewhat reasonable in cost when one looks at some of the large crowd funded campaigns.

My friends and I started this game around this time last year, and boy has it eaten into my wallet quite a bit. Since then, I've bought The Dunwich Legacy (old format), The Path to Carcosa, The Innsmouth Conspiracy, Edge of the Earth, The Scarlet Keys, and Murder at Excelsior Hotel. And that's just the game itself! I also bought card binders for each class, a play mat, coin capsules, 3D printed token trays, action counter tokens, sleeves, card boxes, connection markers, and most recently new glass/brass chaos tokens to replace the coin capsules. It's certainly a doozy on the wallet but it has been a very fun, amazingly memorable experience for me and my group. Good luck!

Your situation is eerily similar to mine. I bought the core set (I was originally looking to buy Clank, because I wanted a deck building game, but it wasn’t available) and before I’d even finish the Core campaign I bought Dunwich, then the Dunwich Investigator Expansion, and then Carcosa. I found myself literally dreaming about playing the game, and a very strong FOMO kicked in because I worried they might stop producing the expansion boxes. I’m normally very good at ignoring these irrational compulsions, but Arkham just pulled me right in off my feet. The initial lack of control has worn off, but still. It was like a real addiction/ obsession for a while there, something I haven’t felt since childhood. Kinda spooky.

Have bad news for You. New release model (hero&camp exp) opened myriads of possibilities for the game system and unleashed devs to explore new ways in campaign design. Dunwich and Carcosa are great, but latest two have insane vibe, partially because of being developed as a whole from the beggining. So no, it won't be the end of what You want (and will) buy :D A tip for You - switch game sleeves into cheaper (Sloyca premium?), while You still at the beggining - it will cut out at least some costs :D

Haha yah I really like the new release model. Makes it so much easier to figure out what to buy, even if it is a more upfront cost, I prefer it.

Luckily, being an ex-MTG player I have tons of spare sleeves so don't need to buy many more!

Dunwich is a great first campaign and I recommend finishing it before moving on! You might even want to replay it afterwards to see the different paths. Personally I got the investigator expansions and standalone investigators since I enjoy the deckbuilding aspect more and replaying the Dunwich campaign with new investigators/cards feels like a new way to play. The standalone scenario expansions are also good. Highly recommend Murder at the Excelsior Hotel.
