Flappers dance till dawn in smoke-filled speakeasies drinking alcohol supplied by rum runnersand the mob. It’s a celebration to end all celebrations in the aftermath of the War to end all Wars.  \nYet a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the gates between worlds. These gates have begun to open and must be closed before the Ancient Ones make our world their ruined dominion.  \nOnly a handful of investigators stand against the Arkham Horror. Will they prevail?  \nArkham Horror is a game for 1 to 8 players (3 to 5 recommended), playable in 2 to 4 hours. The game is set in the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts, made famous by H.P. Lovecraft in his writings about the Cthulhu Mythos.  \nObject of the Game  \nIn Arkham Horror, a terrible creature from beyond time and space is waking, roused by the dimensional gates that are opening all over the city. The players must join forces to close all of the gates before this Ancient One awakens. If the Ancient One defeats the players, all of Arkham is doomed.  \nThe players must work together as a team of investigators to close all of the dimensional gates, seal them permanently, or if that fails, defeat the Ancient One when it awakens from its slumber.  \nGame Overview  \nIn Arkham Horror, the investigators explore the city, encountering places, people, and creatures both normal and mundane. Through these adventures, the investigators hope to gain the clues and resources needed to confront and ultimately thwart the Mythos threat.  \nEarly in the game, investigators seek to avoid more powerful monsters while moving around the city to gather weapons, spells, clues, and other items they will need.  \nLater, the investigators attempt to close a few gates and seal some of the most active gates.  \nFinally, once several gates have been sealed and the investigators have acquired valuable weapons, spells, clues, and allies, they make one last, desperate assault on the Mythos, attempting to close or seal the final gates. Either they succeed and the world survives, or they failand the Ancient One awakens for the climactic battle.  \nBe warned: If the Ancient One awakens, the investigators are in for the fight of their lives!  \nGame Components and Preparation  \nEnclosed in your Arkham Horror box, you will find the following game components:  \n1 Rule Book (this book)  \n1 Game Board  \n1 First Player Marker  \n5 Dice  \n16 Investigator Sheets  \n16 Investigator Markers  \n16 Plastic Investigator Stands  \n196 Investigator Status Tokens  \n56 Money Tokens  \n34 Sanity Tokens (10 “threes” and 24 “ones”)  \n34 Stamina Tokens (10 “threes” and 24 “ones”)  \n48 Clue Tokens  \n24 Skill Sliders  \n189 Investigator Cards  \n44 Common Items  \n39 Unique Items  \n40 Spells  \n20 Skills  \n11 Allies  \n35 Special Cards  \n8 Retainers  \n8 Silver Twilight Lodge Memberships  \n8 Bank Loans  \n8 Blessing/Curse Cards  \n3 Deputy Cards  \n8 Ancient One Sheets  \n20 Doom Tokens  \n179 Ancient One Cards  \n63 Location Cards  \n67 Mythos Cards  \n49 Gate Cards  \n60 Monster Markers  \n16 Gate Markers  \n3 Activity Markers  \n3 Explored Markers  \n1 Terror Track Marker  \n6 Closed Markers  \nBefore you play your first game of Arkham Horror, carefully punch out the cardboard pieces so that they do not tear.
