The supernatural disturbances that plague Arkham, Massachussets, are not limited to that unfortunate place.

Of all the cities found in H.P. Lovecraft’s vision of Massachusetts, perhaps none is quite so deadly as the small fishing village of Innsmouth. Decrepit and dying, Innsmouth is being consumed from within by an ancient pact once made to save the town. The investigators will find every hand turned against them as they explore its rotting docks and fetid beaches. In the end, perhaps the only way to save Innsmouth is by destroying it along with the terrible creatures that haunt its waters near Devil Reef. Innsmouth Horror introduces several new game concepts to the Arkham Horror board game, including Personal Stories unique to each investigator as well as the Innsmouth Look. The town of Innsmouth is hostile to the investigators, and they may well find themselves thrown in jail and fed to a Shoggoth while they search the town for evidence to call in the Feds. However, leaving Innsmouth to fester is a bad idea, since the Deep Ones will gather and rise, bringing with them the Ancient One. Innsmouth Horror also adds 16 new investigators, eight new Ancient Ones, two new Heralds, Epic Battle cards for the new Ancient Ones, over 30 new monster markers, plenty of new encounters, and an expansion board featuring the town of Innsmouth. Over all, this expansion adds over 300 new cards to the base game. Innsmouth Horror requires a copy of Arkham Horror to play.

A new play is coming to Miskatonic University, and anyone who’s anyone will be there for the opening performance. However, there’s something sinister about this play, and the people who see it come back a little…different. As if the investigators didn’t have enough to worry about before, now they must deal with the mind-warping effects of the King in Yellow, a play that tells a tale of madness and horror, opening a door for the Tattered King to enter through. This expansion introduces a major new mechanic to Arkham Horror – Heralds, who prepare the way for the Ancient One to arrive. In addition, old familiar faces will be turned against the investigators in ways they never expected. Featuring over 160 new cards, the King in Yellow heralds a darker age for Arkham Horror fans.

The King’s eyebrows lifted–revealing his disbelief. “More Dragons?” He mouthed the words in an alarmed whisper. The messenger nervously nodded. Dragons had not been in the Realm for centuries. Not since the days when the High Wizard Amarak advised the Royal Court. But now, not only had the Blue Dragon attacked the settlements on the frontier of the Blizzard Mountain Range with an army of her dragonkin, but other new Dragons had been sighted, clearly in the service of the Dark Lord’s army. Hemlock, perhaps the most evil of all of the Dragon Generals, was en route from the East. Brimstone was already setting fire and laying waste to settlements near the Realm. And Onyx, the most feared dragon of all, was fast approaching from the North. The King contemplated the bravery and skill of his Heroes. Would it be enough…? The Defenders of the Realm: Dragon Expansion allows players to increase or decrease the difficulty level of gameplay using variants and scenarios. 3 new Dragons, 3 Agents of the Dark Lord and 4 new minions enter the Realm! - Eagle Games

Defenders of the Realm: Hero Expansion #1 includes four new heroes – with a miniature and character card for each hero – along with six new global effects cards and five tokens for use with the Defenders of the Realm base game. (This expansion also includes a Paladin miniature to replace the one in the base game.) The new heroes introduced in this expansion are: • Captain of the Guard: The Captain of the Guard is an experienced warrior who can give orders (extra actions) to other player’s heroes to carry out on their turn if he chooses, who rides a powerful battle steed, and who has the tactical ability to outwit the enemy troops advancing during his Darkness Spreads phase. • Assassin: The Assassin can appear and vanish from nowhere, launching sneak attacks on minions, then vanishing to the safety of the shadows at the end of her turn. Most importantly, she has the ability to land a deathblow to any General just when the heroes think all is lost. • Chaos Wizard: The Chaos Wizard is able to cast powerful spells, but the untamed magic that he uses will not only lay waste to the invading minions, but can also wound himself and other heroes, or destroy the land he is working to protect if not kept in check. • Adventurer: The Adventurer holds a magical item from previous quests that gives her great ability in card management. Additionally, her questing experience enables her to complete a minor quest for Hero cards each time she ends her turn on a location with a Treasure Chest and grants an advantage on major quests. Couple all this with her ability to mingle with lowlifes of the Inns and she can be a powerful defender of the realm. - boardgamegeek.com

Defenders of the Realm: Hero Expansion #2 includes four new heroes – with a miniature and character card for each – along with six new global effects cards for use with the Defenders of the Realm base game. The new heroes you can mix and match with those in the base game or other expansions are: • Healer: The Healer, although she does not sound particularly powerful, has some very interesting and magical skills. Not only can she spend actions to Heal three wounds to Heroes at her location including herself (especially useful if losing a battle to a General), she automatically heals one wound to all Heroes at the end of her turn if on a location with them. Couple this with the ability to use minion’s energy at tainted locations to heal the land and her Walk in the Light ability to ignore a General’s combat abilities and you have a very valuable hero to add to your team. • Druid: The Druid is very powerful in wooded areas (Green Locations) and a strong healer of the tainted land. His “One with the Earth” ability keeps him safe from enemies when in the woods and his ability to summon woodland creatures at any Green Location to attack Minions (even when he is not present) is extremely useful in keeping Orcs and Imps under control. • Elf Lord: The Elf Lord knows the secret pathways through forests, enabling him to travel swiftly through all green locations. His mastery of Elf Magic enables him to assist himself (or other heroes) with a re-roll of one die each round, and his ability to ambush Minions and Generals in combat makes him a strong warrior in support of the realm. • Monk: The Monk, a wanderer on some sacred quest for her order, is a master of the Martial Arts, enabling her to land a fury of blows with her staff on the unfortunate minions and Generals she encounters. Additionally, she uses the same training to defend herself against attacks. Her spiritual conditioning and wandering nature provide her with an additional Quest opportunity at all times as she is always holding two Quest Cards. - boardgamegeek.com  

Defender of the Realm: Hero Expansion #3 includes four new heroes – with a miniature and character card for each – along with a half-dozen new global effects cards and three tokens for use with the Defenders of the Realm base game. The heroes in this expansion are: • Feline: The Feline, half cat and half human, has the ability to shadow any moving Hero or General, advancing with them as they leave or pass through the area if on foot or horse. Her catlike reflexes and razor-sharp claws make her a strong warrior in defense of the realm. • Shaman: The Shaman, a shape-shifter and magic user, is a welcome addition to any Hero team. His Arrows of Destruction rain doom on minions and his ability to change into a Wolf or Bear grant him valuable skills in movement and combat. • Seeker: The Seeker was born with the ability to glimpse the future and as such the Seeker always knows where the next Minion attack will occur and if a General will move. The sword she wields is extremely deadly because of her ability to foresee the battle beforehand, enabling her use all Special Cards as Battle Luck cards. If her attacks fail to defeat all enemy in the area, she can call upon her magic to summon images that will confuse her attackers and send them them wandering off to other lands. • Thief: The Thief is the master of sneaking behind enemy lines to not only scout the army of the Dark Lord, but also to steal battle plans from the General’s headquarters tent. While not the greatest of warriors, the use of her daggers in combat, especially when treasure can be stolen, often enables her to question the enemy before dispatching them and to gain valuable information in the form of Hero Cards. - boardgamegeek.com
