Description from the publisher:
The Miskatonic Museum is the first Mythos Pack in The Dunwich Legacy cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game.
It begins with a book… Somewhere in the Miskatonic Museum, Olaus Wormius’s Latin translation of a book called the Necronomicon lies hidden away, kept locked and secret so that those individuals who shouldn’t gain access to it do not. When recent events at the university and the Clover Club lead you to believe that someone may now be searching for this strange and ancient tome—someone who should not be permitted to delve its secrets—you make your way to the Museum. The hour is late, and the front door is locked. But you know you must recover the book before anyone can access its arcane secrets for dark purposes.
The cards and adventure from The Miskatonic Museum grant you access to the Museum and its many exhibitions. Whether you conduct your investigation as a relatively simple book recovery or incorporate it into the campaign from The Dunwich Legacy, you’ll find it marked by a frightening urgency. You aren’t alone within the museum’s darkened chambers; something else stalks the exhibits…

I have the base set and a ton of expansions that I'd like to trade as a set. Most of the expansions are unopened. I love the game I've just been playing with a friend's set.

Arkham Horror: the Card Game is an awesome crossover between RPG and card game, thriving in atmosphere and 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! The Miskatonic Museum is the first Mythos Pack, and contains the third scenario of the Dunwich Legacy campaign. In addition, of course there are a few new player cards.

Warning: SPOILERS for The Miskatonic Museum in the following! You have been warned! Probably the weakest scenario in the Dunwich campaign. There are some fun elements to it--the feeling of the Hunting Horror eerily stalking comes across pretty well. Mechanically, it's interesting to have a scenario with only one enemy to fight. But it was definitely the least positively received in my group of all the scenarios we've tried, and I think there are good reasons for that. First, the focus on milling the player decks is not that well done. The milling is either totally harmless or game-ending, with no in-between. It's totally random which it will be. I don't think much of that design. Second, because there's only one enemy to fight, the fight-oriented characters are going to do a lot of waiting around. That can get boring. Third, while the Hunting Horror is cool, it ultimately doesn't pack enough punch to be really dangerous. It needed to do much more than 1 damage/1 horror. It's really easy to tank. Maybe it should grow to 2 damage/2 horror at a certain point. Finally, the players have *way* too much doom. It's absurd. You have 19 turns to complete this thing! They should probably have shaved 4 or 5 turns off the agenda. Regarding player cards, this pack has two mechanically fascinating additions: Delve Too Deep (which dramatically increases the amount of VP players can get) and Flare (a one-use-only tutor for an Ally--quite a powerful effect.) Both are fun, powerful, and interesting. The Seekers also come out very well. Pathfinder is a highly efficient card, and "I've got a plan!" offers some much-needed combat punch.
