How did the many-eyed horror of the Altered Beast Playmat come into existence, and how is its existence even feasible?

Blending the best elements of customizable card games with the best of elements of roleplaying games, Arkham Horror: The Card Game works on many levels to thrust you into the shoes of an investigator exploring a world much larger, darker, and more terrifying than he or she can possibly fathom. Game design and art work conspire to immerse you in the game, and you can add to the experience by playing atop this gorgeous Arkham Horror: The Card Game Playmat.

The Altered Beast Playmat features original art from the game printed at 14” x 24” atop a high-quality, slip-resistant rubber base. The stars are further aligned by an eerie zodiac framework, which recalls the astrological signs traced on the backside of every player card. Framed by this graphic design element, the playmat almost appears to break down the barriers between our reality and the one in which gigantic, hybrid spider-scorpion monsters lurk in the forests. Step through, and live the madness!
