Welcome to my thirteenth playthrough of Arkham Horror where we battle to prevent He of the Ivory Throne, Rhan-Tegoth, from destroying the World at the behest of the Dark Pharaoh, Avatar of the Crawling Chaos...
The Arkham Museum of History is currently hosting an Exhibition in Egyptian Artefacts. This piqued the unwholesome interest of two secret societies: The Cult of the Thousand and the Silver Twilight Lodge. Both have stolen several of the exhibits but in their fanatical greed they have unwittingly stirred the wrath of the Dark Pharaoh who has cursed all who would steal his treasures! Now in his rage, this Avatar of the Crawling Chaos, has set in motion a deadly ritual calling upon Rhan-Tegoth to rise from his slumber and satiate his Endless Hunger upon those who would defy the Dark Pharaoh. While the cultists panic and try to cover their tracks from both mundane law enforcement and from a terrible cosmic retribution, four very different people from diverse backgrounds must try to rescue Arkham, themselves and their loved ones all caught up in the cascading Chaos...

About Arkham Horror, from BoardGameGeek:
The year is 1926, and it is the height of the Roaring Twenties. Flappers dance till dawn in smoke-filled speakeasies drinking alcohol supplied by rum runners and the mob. It's a celebration to end all celebrations in the aftermath of the war to end all wars.
Yet 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 domination.
Only a handful of investigators stand against the Arkham Horror. Will they Prevail?
Arkham Horror is a cooperative adventure game themed around H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Players choose from 16 Investigators and take to the streets of Arkham. Before the game, one of the eight Ancient Ones is chosen and it's up to the Investigators to prevent it from breaking into our world. During the course of the game, players will upgrade their characters by acquiring skills, allies, items, weapons, and spells. It's up to the players to clean out the streets of Arkham by fighting many different types of monsters, but their main goal is to close gates to other dimensions that are opening up around town. With too many gates open the Ancient One awakens and the players only have one last chance to save the world - defeat the Ancient One in combat!
