Arkham Horror: LCG - Curse of the Rougarou

“If Lady Esprit was right, this ‘roux-ga-roux’ wouldn’t stop killing at three, that’s for sure. But curses? Wolf-people? How could such things be real? Only one way to find out…”
     –Curse of the Rougarou

An early morning fog rolls over the quiet streets of Arkham as its people wake and stagger out of bed. Sleepy-eyed, they begin to move, focused only on the tasks that lie before them. They don their coats and caps to ward off the autumn chill, then start upon their way to work. They pass their neighbors, greet the newspaper boy, and arrive at their desks. A distant train whistle howls, and all the while, these people remain completely unaware of the unfathomable terrors that threaten their very existence.

In Arkham Horror: The Card Game, powerful and malevolent beings known as Ancient Ones press against the barriers that divide their realities from our own. And while they lurk just beyond our ability to perceive them directly through our senses or science, they gnaw, nonetheless, at the minds of the psychically gifted and drive them mad. They inspire cults and cultists. They give rise to dark magic and deadly monsters.

Since these Ancient Ones and the terrors they inspire cannot be seen, studied, or measured through traditional means, very few people even suspect they exist. Similarly, their cults gather in secret, in the backrooms and abandoned cellars of closed societies. Their members conceal themselves with hoods and masks, conducting their foul rituals only at night, hidden away from prying eyes. By day, these same cultists may greet you on the avenue, serve you dinner, or educate your children. They draw no attention from the police, but you know something isn't right in Arkham…

You're convinced that recent deaths and disappearances are not the work of wild animals, as the authorities suggest, and so you enter the Mythos through Arkham Horror: The Card Game as an investigator determined to uncover the truth—even if that truth may drive you mad.
