Arkham Horror (Third Edition): Dead of Night
This expansion adds a darker, nocturnal layer to the base game’s setting, bringing organized crime, secret cults, alien influences and night-stalking horrors into play. Players take investigators through two new scenarios and explore updated encounters at every location in Arkham. The box introduces new monsters, anomalies, spells, items and allies, plus four additional investigators with unique abilities. Gameplay integrates these components with the core rules, increasing threats on the streets and producing new strategic and narrative challenges as players balance investigation, combat and sanity management under a growing supernatural influence.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Do I use all the Dead of Night content, or only some of it?
Unless instructed otherwise, use all Dead of Night content while playing with the expansion. Shuffle encounters, headlines, allies, items, and spells into their respective decks; keep the new event deck separate from encounter decks (p. 1).
Do I shuffle the new event cards into the encounter decks?
No. Keep the new event deck separate and use it as instructed by the scenario; the rules specifically say not to mix event cards into the encounter decks (p. 1).
When can I look at the back of a Wanted condition?
Do not look at its back until a game effect instructs you to. Wanted is double-sided, like other condition cards (p. 2).
If a monster gets Elite from two different effects, do those abilities stack?
Yes. Elite X from multiple game effects is cumulative; for example, two instances of Elite 1 give a monster 2 additional Health per investigator (p. 2).
What happens to encounter cards when a neighborhood tile is removed?
Remove all matching encounter cards from the game, including matching cards in the event deck and event discard. Shuffle the event deck afterward, but do not shuffle the discard pile into it or change the discard pile’s order (p. 2).
When adding or removing a Mythos token, where do I take or put it?
When removing one, take a matching token from the cup if possible; otherwise take one that has been drawn but not yet returned. When adding a token, put it directly into the Mythos cup (p. 2).
