About the game
A casino in Monte Carlo is twisting luck in its favor, gaining massive wealth but also endangering its patrons. You and your fellow investigators must steal the source of the casino’s power and put a stop to their nefarious work, but doing so will be no easy task. Will fortune favor the bold? Or will your luck run out? All bets are off in this thrilling heist. With multiple ways to succeed (and fail) and unexpected twists, Fortune and Folly brings an experience to Arkham Horror: The Card Game unlike anything the game has seen before. In this thrilling scenario pack, 1 to 4 investigators plan and execute a daring casino heist. Your target: the Wellspring of Fortune, a mysterious relic that allows the casino to stack the odds in its favor (literally). Like with previous scenario packs, Fortune and Folly can be played standalone or inserted into a campaign as a side-story. It even has a couple extra features if used as a side-story in The Scarlet Keys campaign! -description from publisher's website
