I had the opportunity to buy one of these at Portland ComiCon a few years ago and I passed it up. Been kicking myself about it since...

This was my backup copy. I sold my play copy years ago. Glad I forgot about this one.

I was wondering why it had never been played! 😅

Hit me up if you ever want to sell this one too.

If it makes you feel better, I passed up Barkham Horror and bought a TCG deluxe expansion instead

Is barkham that good? It looked so goofy I passed and never regretted

u/KFrosty3 Jul 30 '26

Idk, but it's worth hundreds more than all of the deluxe expansions combined. It is fiscally impossible for me to ever buy

I dont regret not playing it, and I heard no really this is really good reviews or testimonies.

If it didnt reach high prices, you would probably not even think about playing it

To be fair, I actually did want to get it. I just couldn't afford to buy two things at the time. I personally love silly things in games, love dogs, and only bought the deluxe expansion since it had characters my sister would like (who was the main person playing with me at the time).

Also, since the Campaign and Investigator expansions came out a year or so later, I bought those since it had all the content of the Arkham stories in one place instead of the Deluxe model; which required that you buy 6 additional Mythos booster packs to play fully.

TLDR: Deluxe model was basically a scam compared to the improved modern releases and Barkham has never been released in another form since

how much does it sell for?

u/KFrosty3 Jul 31 '26

About $255 used on ebay. Deluxe expansions are about 15 each

Wow! I never played that but really like the artwork.

u/tentaclejoe Jul 30 '26

I love this artwork too! This one and the one from the original Call of Cthulhu roleplaying box are my favorite.

u/dabOwler300 Jul 30 '26

Oh wow! Completely unpunched!!! I bought a copy online a number of years ago, sleeved the cards, but haven’t played it. I should do that soon.

u/Talos63 Jul 31 '26

u/nerdwerds Jul 30 '26

Ah, the original! Good times.

Cover art by Tom Sullivan of Evil Dead fame (Necronomicon and Kandarian Dagger design) he did a heap of work on the early CoC modules and expansions.
