There are not many board games out there that have as rich and as deep of story as Arkham Horror, and they continue to extend that tradition. The expansion is billed as a “twisting, time-jumping tale” that takes you into “half-flooded tidal tunnels and unnatural coves” on the outskirts of the city.

Description from the Fantasy Flight website:
Not far from Arkham, the stooped and weathered town of Innsmouth squats on the Atlantic coast. An aura of decrepitude and decay hangs over the city like the ocean fog, from the weirdly glowing windows of the Gilman House to the deserted and toppling Fish Street bridge. Beyond the city limits, the Innsmouth shoreline is pocked with half-flooded tidal tunnels and unnatural coves. Who knows what strange, abyssal trinkets you might find, among the skeletons of fish and rotting seaweed?
The Innsmouth Conspiracy, the sixth deluxe expansion for Arkham Horror: The Card Game, invites you to take your first steps in a twisting, time-jumping tale, starting with the campaign’s first two scenarios included in this expansion. From the heart of Innsmouth itself to the torturous coastline and beyond, these scenarios tee up an adventure that will continue to unfold across the subsequent six Mythos Packs. Far from including just two new scenarios, however, The Innsmouth Conspiracy brings five new investigators to the table with an undersea trove of player cards to support new types of decks—along with new mechanics for players to sink their teeth into, including keys, flood tokens, bless tokens, and curse tokens!
Ever since the original Arkham Horror: The Card Game came out in 2016 it has grown a huge following and spawned tons of new content. There have been deluxe editions and promotional content but this is the sixth big “standalone adventure” expansion.
