Board Game Eldritch Horror - Mountains of Madness

Something Ancient Awakens Beyond the Mountain Ranges

Once upon a time, other creatures ruled the Earth. Their empires rose to the heavens before mankind was born. Older creatures conquered the oceans and mountain ranges, carving traces of their greatness in stone.

Now they have awakened. Under the layers of ice and rocks, their city still rests, full of memory and sinister will.

The expedition of biologist Lake, which went to Antarctica, has stopped communicating. All members of the squad were found dead and mutilated - not even the dogs survived. Officially, one of the scientists who has lost his mind is considered guilty, but few among the researchers of Miskatonic University believe this.

Now a new expedition is going to the edge of the world, to the icy continent. Their path will lie through endless snows and superhuman cold. Behind the towering mountain peaks, a city of an alien civilization awaits them. But are people ready to come face to face with the primitive rulers of the world?

This is the second addition to the cooperative game «Eldritch Horror», created based on the work of the same name by Howard Lovecraft about the Antarctic expedition.

The researchers of the Miskatonic University expedition will go to the edge of the world to reveal the secrets of the Elder Beings and save humanity. Eight new researchers, two Ancients, new monsters and encounters await you. You will discover a new region - the Antarctic field with six locations full of hidden dangers. The expansion offers new mechanics and many components for an even richer game.
