Arkham Horror (Third Edition): Secrets of the Order
Investigators explore the French Hill neighborhood of Arkham and descend into a separate Underworld realm where portals link realities. The expansion adds two double-sided map tiles (French Hill and the Underworld), four new investigators with unique skills, three new scenarios that involve restless spirits, secret cultists, and Underworld dangers, and over 130 new encounter and event cards. New assets, monsters, conditions, and a new map-tile type expand the game’s threats and tools, integrating with the base game to provide additional challenges and locations to investigate.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
If I’m in a threshold space, do I draw a normal encounter?
During the encounter phase, if you’re in a threshold space and aren’t engaged with a monster, draw from the threshold encounter deck and resolve the effect matching that space’s threshold type. Threshold spaces count as street spaces for other effects, except encounters (p. 4).
Do I have to pay a hazardous-border cost even if I stop moving there?
No. After crossing a hazardous border, you must stop unless you pay its cost; if you’re already done moving, you don’t have to pay. Monsters ignore these additional costs (p. 4).
Does a mystery count as part of its neighborhood, and where do I get clues there?
A mystery counts as part of its connected neighborhood for effects involving neighborhood components. However, clues at a mystery can be gained through an encounter in that mystery space, not through encounters in other spaces in the neighborhood (p. 5).
Can I read all the effects on a mystery encounter before choosing?
No. First resolve the top effect and choose one of its options; then resolve only the secondary effect under the matching heading. Don’t read the secondary effects before making your choice (p. 5).
Can I defeat a ready shrouded monster by dealing it damage?
Not while it’s ready: it has no health value then, so damage alone can’t defeat it. If it later engages or becomes exhausted, it can be defeated by damage as normal; a ready shrouded monster also can’t be exhausted, and you can’t look at its other side (p. 6).
