Game Overview
In the Forsaken Lore expansion, what the investigators previously thought they understood was all an illusion. Now the Ancient Ones have grown in power and stand ready to breach into our world.
This expansion includes a new Ancient One, Yig, as well as new Mystery cards for the existing Ancient Ones, hundreds of new stories to encounter, and new Artifacts, Assets, and Spells for investigators to wield against the Ancient Ones.
