BARKHAM HORROR is Becoming a Real Product from Fantasy Flight Games

For April Fool’s Day this year, Fantasy Flight Games “released” an expansion for the fake game Barkham Horror. Well, apparently, the team had too much fun taking Arkham Horror: The Card Game and making it all about animals, so they actually made Barkham Horror a real thing. That’s right, they have officially announced a standalone adventure for Arkham Horror called Barkham Horror: The Meddling of Meowlathotep.

“The fur will fly in Barkham Horror: The Card Game – The Meddling of Meowlathotep! Inspired by the 2019 April Fools article, this 100% real, playable standalone adventure gives players the chance to step into the role of canine investigators hot on the trail of a catspiracy. Dogs all across town report seeing strange, unnatural cats prowling around Barkham, and each day more and more pigeons are going missing. You’ve picked up the scent of something big, and once you sink your teeth into a story, you just can’t let go. Perhaps if you investigate the areas of Arkham most plagued by these sightings, you can root out the cat‐monsters that dwell within and save your hoomans, your city, and the world.”

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use any of the components from this adventure with any other adventures. You can pre-order your copy of Barkham Horror now through your local retailer or FFG’s website for $19.95.
