Union and Disillusion is the fourth Mythos Pack in The Circle Undone cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game.
After your brush with the Silver Twilight Lodge in For the Greater Good, you journey to the banks of the Miskatonic River in search of the four souls who went missing from one of the Lodge’s events. Between two of the bridges that span the river, there stands the Unvisited Isle. The foggy shores are barren and unwelcoming, and as you row closer, you try to remain silent, as if to keep the river itself from noticing. Not a soul greets you as you draw closer to the island, save for the judging gaze of ghostly birds that observe you from the trees. In the distance, a pillar of spectral energy is rising into the clouds, a vortex of otherworldly mist spiraling about it.
As you explore the island, you will find braziers scattered at various locations, that you can either light or douse with the new Circle action ability. Lighting these braziers may help push back the heavy mist, allowing you to further explore the island, but it may also be the key step in completing the ritual that has already begun. How far can you push Arkham to the brink of chaos without surrendering the city to the dark forces battling for control of it?

Find this one very, very hard. The brazier tests vary from "I got this" to "How the hell we gonna do this?!" LOL.

This scenario has one of my favorite resolutions ever (possibly favorite overall?). It also acts as a nice mid-campaign culmination of events and sets up the next two scenarios for the actual final act. That said, the circle mechanic isn't terribly interesting and the two wildly different thematic things you can be doing in this scenario mechanically play about the same. Update: Having played this a few more times my thoughts haven't changed much beyond cursing whippoorwills. CURSE THEM. The way they interact with Circle is both subtle and brutal (which is why they're back of course...) We also have the pay off for the prologue here and it's... underwhelming. Partly because some of the resolutions are rather unlikely and the most common resolution amounts to a giant nothing. The player cards from this pack are lackluster at best. There's a few good, but niche, cards (Knowledge is Power being the best of them) and some downright awful (Telescopic Sight). The best I can say is that many of the cards feel like they're operating in new spaces, they're just not very good at what they're doing.

Really like this scenario and the big tests you need to pass. Recquires some deckbuilding preparation, but still, a verry enjoyable setting.
