All the while, historic Arkham broods on the upper banks of the Miskatonic, its famed university delving into the world’s darkest, most ancient mysteries.

Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos and made famous by the Arkham Horror series of tabletop games.

Take on The Poet’s Chair by remembering more poems, songs, or rhymes than any other player
Perhaps you wish to Pass the Slipper? Then close your eyes as players pass a small object and on the count of ten, guess who is holding it.
Be careful not to break the rules, or you may have to shake hands blindfolded, pretend to be a parrot, or pay another silly forfeit to account for your blunder.
Austen aficionados and Bridgerton bingers will delight in these timeless, irreverent games—so pour your afternoon tea and get ready for an evening of nanty narking!
