Arkham Noir - Fall 2: Called by Thunder - Card game (DE), 6 card display
Randolph Carter is sitting opposite you in your office: "We were investigating the creeping death that was afflicting the natives - poor settlers whose ancestors came from the Netherlands as colonists and claimed this land. Typer put me on this case and now there's no trace of him ... Well, things have got a bit out of hand. Could you perhaps close this case for me?" Thinking about your overdue rent, you sigh and take him up on his offer to drive out to the Catskills and do some poking around. "Bring an umbrella," he advises you, "It thundersnows there a lot."

Arkham Noirista solo game inspired by the interconnected tales of H. P. Lovecraft and other authors and reimagined as a noir story. Each case can be played independently. In "Called by Thunder", Howard Lovecraft investigates events based on the stories "The Lurking Fear" (1923) and "The Diary of Alonzo Typer" (1938).
In the game, you attach clue cards to open cases and create lines of enquiry to finally solve the cases. The aim is to collect 5 "puzzle" cards in order to recognise the overall picture before time runs out or you go mad. Each new game is the start of a unique challenge, the difficulty of which can be customised.
