Before the Black Throne is the sixth and final Mythos Pack in "The Circle Undone" cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game.
After your battle to close the rips in reality in In the Clutches of Chaos, you have left your city and your world behind, traveling an impossible distance, and yet you are still many leagues from the nighted throne where your ultimate foe stirs. As you are chased by your fate across the cosmos, you may be forced to bring "empty space" into play, losing the top card of your deck as you place it facedown to embody the seemingly infinite space that divides you from the rest of humanity. This is not a location; it cannot be entered or investigated, and the only way to reclaim your lost card is to fill the empty space with a Cosmos location. These impossible places, drawn from the new Cosmos deck, do not have set places they must connect to. Rather, each Cosmos card has a connecting instruction you must obey in order to place it. Torn from all you know, it may be easy to surrender to the existential dread, but even if all you can do is delay the inevitable, the battle is not over yet!

Well, this game can be swingy, and this scenario was damn near impossible with how the locations came out. It's VERY hard to move around (at least on a first play not knowing what you should be doing), and the card we needed was the last one we tried to get to -- and we died horribly. Just not a very exciting finish to an otherwise stellar campaign.

Really great scenario, with an epic feel of travelling through space, and better mechanics than in the last scenario of Dunwich (less randomness). The only thing : too heavy on investigating the same locations over and over, and not that unique compared to other scenarios.

Interesting but massively swingy and fiddly. Doesn't save Circle Undone for being a very disappointing campaign, sadly.
