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.

Like many of the final scenarios, this one goes a bit crazy - but it fits with the themes and mechanics that have already been going on in the rest of the campaign, and spins off into several significantly different resolutions. It does have the potential to get a little bit claustrophobic and cramped with GIANT enemies, so you'd best bring your enemy management (Again, end of campaign scenario so this shouldn't be a surprise). The secret ending is amazing, and supported with very few cards which makes it even more impressive. As you expect in a final pack the player cards are impressive (Though a few miss the mark, like Kerosene and Vantage Point and Impromptu Barrier is just bad). Flamethrower is the weapon by which all other weapons are measured, both Borrowed Time and All In are extremely powerful, but fair, and thematic rogue cards, Shards of the Void finally gives Mystics another decent attack spell and Seal of the Seventh Sign does the one thing everyone was sure the seal mechanic would never do. And Altered Fate is a wonderful taste of the next campaign while also being an actual great card (And one of the few blessed cards for Mateo worth taking!).

I'm torn about this campaign overall. This is the first one that I feel like I may need to replay, because it's the first one where player choices make a huge impact on the story and the ending in particular.
