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!

Possibly one of the best scenaris of the campaign, partly because it is a good boss fight type scenario, and partly because the campaign can finaly end and you can move on to a better campaign :P The fights are tough and the clock will be on your back depending on your past choices. Fun Arkham with loads at stake for the investigators.

Arkham Horror: the Card Game is an awesome crossover between RPG and card game, thriving in atmosphere character development. No need to point out that expanding the card pool (both with new scenarios and new investigator cards) is a great way to keep it fresh and enticing! Before the Black Throne is the sixth in the fourth cycle of Mythos Packs, and contains the final scenario of the Circle Undone campaign. In addition, of course there are a few new tasty player cards.

7.5/ True Solo ☠ Great end to the campaign. Thoughts on the campaign (possible spoilers): I wasn't all that blown away throughout the campaign as I feel the story was forseeable and would have loved more diversity in locations. I do appreciate very much the take on The Dreams in the Witch House, as it is referenced and beautifully brought to life (The Secret Name) in the campaign. I appreciate Matt very much for writing his own stories, and would have loved to see a less linear progression of story and gameplay. The theme of a supernatural/spectral entity appearing over and over again, made me feel like I play more of the same a lot - in different remixes and with some different take on it. Personally I would love to see a global campaign - maybe being in a different country every 1 or 2 mythos packs, and less resemblance of scenarios and gameplay. I'm happy that I played The Circle Undone and rank it 3rd in available (?) cycles. Thanks Matt!
