Guardians of the Abyss Q.

By Burgie1996, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

Is GotA a stand-alone pack similar to Rougarou?

I’m certain I saw someone say it contains some pretty sweet player cards but the standalone adventures don’t normally have player cards right?

help...

Actually, several of the stand-alones do have player cards. They are usually for the scenario only, but there's some you can keep. Rewards, usually. Rougarou has one of those.

@Burgie1996 it's two scenarios, both standalones, which are The Eternal Slumber (first released GenCon 2018) and The Night's Usurper (first released Arkham Nights 2018). They can each be played standalone, or can each be integrated into a campaign for 2xp spend each. They have player cards as scenario rewards.

Any idea what these player cards are or where I can see them?

@Burgie1996 they'll be on Arkhamdb fairly soon, I reckon. Or I can take photos at the weekend or type them or what not!

The possible rewards are as follows:

John & Jessie Burke

Cost 4 Asset (ally slot)

4 health, 2 sanity

Ally. Government.

[Action] Exhaust John & Jessie Burke and deal them 1 damage: Choose an enemy in a connecting location. Move to that enemy's location. Then, engage that enemy and deal it 1 damage.

Ancient Ankh

Cost 3 Asset (accessory slot)

3 sanity

Item. Relic.

Uses (4 charges).

[Response] When an investigator at your location would fail a test by 1 or more, spend 1 charge: That investigator fails by 1 instead (even if he or she automatically failed).

Khopesh of the Abyss

Cost 4 Asset (2 hand slots)

Item. Weapon. Relic. Melee.

[Action]: Fight. You get +3 strength and deal +1 damage for this attack.

[Response] After you defeat an enemy using Khopesh of the Abyss, exhaust it: Choose and enemy at another revealed location. Disengage from each enemy engaged with you and move to the chosen enemy's location. Then, engage that enemy.

Summoned Nightgaunt

Cost 4 Asset

Monster. Nightgaunt. Power.

Uses (3 whistles). If Summoned Nightgaunt has no whistles, or if it leaves play, remove it from the game.

[Action] Spend 1 whistle and take 1 horror: Evade. Automatically evade all non-Nightgaunt enemies engaged with you and move to any revealed location.
