Arkham Horror: The Card Game – Beta Cards from Arkham Night 2020

Description

--- Guard Dog and Flashlight are beta cards from Arkham Night 2020, later featured in The Scarlet Keys: Investigator Expansion, offering tactical enemy engagement and investigation/evasion support. Key mechanics include: - *Guard Dog (Level 2 Asset)*: Fast action to exhaust and engage an enemy at your location, forcing it to attack you; reaction deals 1 damage to any enemy that damages or horrifies it. - *Flashlight (Level 3 Item)*: Uses 4 supplies; reaction spends 1 supply during investigate or evade skill tests to reduce difficulty by 2. These beta cards, designed at Arkham Night 2020 and subsequently included in The Scarlet Keys: Investigator Expansion, consist of Guard Dog (Level 2), a versatile asset with a fast ability to exhaust it and engage an enemy at the player's location—prompting that enemy to attack—and a reaction that retaliates by dealing 1 damage to any attacking enemy causing damage or horror to Guard Dog. Flashlight (Level 3) functions as a supply-based item with 4 uses, enabling a reaction where spending 1 supply during an investigate or evade skill test lowers the test's difficulty by 2, enhancing precision in stealth and clue-gathering maneuvers. ---
