Arkham Horror: ‘The Blob That Ate Everything’ Scenario Pack Coming Soon
The GenCon 2019 Arkham Horror Scenario Pack ‘The Blob That Ate Everything’ is coming to stores!
At this past GenCon 2019, Fantasy Flight Games unleashed a new horror on the Arkham Horror Investigators. The Blob That Ate Everything was a unique scenario based around the concept of the 1950’s B Horror movie. It was a smashing success and it’s finally coming out to your FLGS!
Gen Con 2019 is long past, but the adventures that you had as you battled against the Blob are only beginning. Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce The Blob That Ate Everything is coming to wide release as a standalone scenario pack for Arkham Horror: The Card Game. In fact, you can pre-order the pack at your local retailer and online through our website today!
Just beyond the edge of the town of Blackwater, something unnatural has gone out of control. After a strange meteor made impact, the town was placed under lockdown by a shadowy government agency—no one was allowed to leave, and only a few select investigators were allowed to enter. That is, until the thing hatched. Time is running out for the investigators as all hell breaks loose in Blackwater. Even as the anomaly continues to grow and devour everything in its path, the quarantine is still strictly enforced. The only way you’re getting out alive is if you can find a way to kill it… if such a thing is even possible.
Game Designer Matt Neuman from FFG has a full interview up about the story behind the scenario which you can read HERE. But I felt this summed up the core concept pretty well:
- The Blob that Ate Everything is a love letter to the B horror films of the 1930s–1950s.
- The scenario scales with almost any number of players, be it 4, 12, 48, or even 96!
- Everyone is working towards the same goal: Defeating the Blob.
- You just need one pack per 4 players.
Oh and one last thing:
“And when we say it can eat anything, we mean anything. In fact, The Blob That Ate Everything even contains a table listing all of the possible things it can eat.
The table is four pages long.”
Yeah! You can’t just blast your bullets at this foe and win the game – you’ve still got to investigate HOW to defeat this thing. And good luck with that as it covers EVERYTHING. The treachery cards are the blob. The enemies are part of the blob. The locations are covered by the blob. You get the idea. Here are a few of the things you can expect to be devoured:
Now, I got to pop by the tables at GenCon 2019 but I was unable to play. While I was bummed, it was pretty amazing to see so many players all dedicated to a single goal. With the scenario pack heading to stores, folks will be able to organize their own games and replay this with their own group (or groups) of investigators.
The Blob That Ate Everything $19.95
Something out of this world is coming to Arkham in The Blob That Ate Everything Scenario Pack for Arkham Horror: The Card Game! This standalone adventure, which first premiered at Gen Con 2019, takes players back into the world of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos where just beyond the edge of Blackwater, something unnatural has gone out of control. After a strange meteor made impact, the town was placed under lockdown by a shadowy government agency—no one was allowed to leave, and only a few select investigators were allowed to enter. That is, until the thing hatched. Now, time is running out as all hell breaks loose in Blackwater. Even as the anomaly continues to grow and devour everything in its path, the quarantine is still strictly enforced. The only way you’re getting out alive is if you kill it…if that’s even possible.
