Shattered Aeons is the sixth and final Mythos Pack in "The Forgotten Age" cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game.
In The Forgotten Age, you journeyed to the darkest corners of Central America in search of a lost Aztec city-state. What you found during your expedition may be the greatest scientific discover of the age, but it could also be the Earth’s undoing.
Throughout The Forgotten Age cycle, you have tried to set your mistakes to right, chasing answers about the mysterious artifact your uncovered and those who pursue it. Retracing your path south, you have uncovered secrets that threaten your entire understanding of the world, of time, and of humanity’s place in the universe. Now, the last and greatest of your questions will be answered in Shattered Aeons. But be wary as mere mortals may not be meant to gain such knowledge and the truths you seek may destroy what little remains of your sanity.

Found this entire cycle had the most developed story thanks to the pro- and epilogues. Very satisfied with how this one ended up. Hint: take a flamethrower with you

This expansion is by far the worst with some of the neatest ideas at times. We just got brutalized most of the time, and then, a couple scenarios you repeat until you "get it right." You got your ass handed to you! Well, you get to play it again. So bad.

To be fair, FA has not been a campaign that I have enjoyed at all, and Shattered Aeons did little to change my overall opinion. What you have here is a story that is intended to sum up the FA campaign, but like the vast majority of the stories in this arc, it makes annoying use of the Exploration deck by making the deck somewhat harder to draw from by making you do it from a central location where big bads tend to spawn. If you've liked what this campaign has been doing so far, you will probably find a lot to like here, as everything it is doing is just a further continuation of the central themes of the campaign as a whole. Replay is also encouraged here as there is a super optimal end that I doubt is possible without superior luck or foreknowledge. As usual for these final sets, there are some very powerful player cards, though I'm not sure there is anything here that outright excites me vis a vis the other options in the game. Flamethrower is pretty charming, but it also eats almost all of your slots.
