Delve into the secrets of The House with No Name in A Thousand Shapes of Horror, the second Mythos Pack in "The Dream-Eaters" cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game! After half of your team has seemingly become trapped in the Dreamlands, you decide to force your way into the realm in your physical body instead of traveling there in your sleep. This method comes with plenty of dangers, but it will hopefully prevent you from becoming trapped yourself. But if you wish to enter the Dreamlands, you must first find a key.
A Thousand Shapes of Horror is Scenario 2–B of "The Web of Dreams" campaign. This scenario can be played on its own in Standalone Mode or combined with the other expansions in "The Dream-Eaters" cycle to form either a larger four-part or eight-part campaign. Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft’s classic short story “The Unnamable,” this adventure takes you to the most haunted corners of Arkham, where the veil between realm is drawn thin and even the most rational mind may be forced to confront the possibility of a world beyond the one we know. Do you have the composure to hold onto your sanity and save your friends, or will ineffable terrors tear your mind apart?

A really enjoyable scenario with a cool exploration atmosphere that turns into a chase scene in the end.

There's a lot to like thematically in this scenario, but I feel like it doesn't quite come together. The horror is largely toothless through the bulk of the scenario before taking a very sharp turn in difficulty (depending on the order the locations come out) in the tail end. The player cards seem like a solid selection, exploring some interesting space, but in practice only there's actually a lot of middling to poor cards here held up by Versatile (Which may or may not be good, but it opens up a ton of deckbuilding space) Tetsuo, Gregory Gry, Dream-Enhancing Serum, Brute Force.

Really fun, thematic and somewhat original. The tension keeps building up. One of the most enjoyable for me.
