Mountains of Madness

The first card + board expansion for Eldritch Horror . Requires the core set to play.

*The Antarctic fog parted, and the towering mountain range suddenly became visible. The dark peaks reached impossibly high into the air, vast and foreboding. [...] Ursula felt certain no one had seen mountains that big before. Not until Professor Lake’s transmission a few days ago. A twinge of sorrow picked at her. Poor Lake. “What happened at the camp?” Ropes winced. “It was grim. Once the storm cleared and we were able to get there, everything had been torn apart. Everyone was dead. Dogs too. Some of the men had been gutted. [...] You ever hear of someone snapping like that?” Ursula’s jaw clenched. [...] Yes, she’d seen the horror that human madness could wreak. Still, how could one person manage so much bloodshed? If it wasn’t some madman, what else could have possibly been the source of such butchery? “There’s the opening,” Ropes pointed to a gap between the towering peaks. “You’re going to want to brace yourself for what’s on the other side.” He paused for dramatic effect. “It’s a city.”*
