Arkham Cards – Board Game Review
Arkham Cards is a Board game from Daniel Salinas, first launched in 20th August 2018.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 231+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Arkham Cards Stand Out
Create and edit decks for all of your investigators — it will even check the deck-building rules to keep you honest. You can also group together decks into campaigns to track your progress combatting evils. The app can be used with local decks, or you can link your ArkhamDB account to sync changes on the go.
• App can walk you through the setup + resolution of most campaigns, while maintaining the campaign log automatically.
• Edit and upgrade your investigator's decks, either offline or by linking your ArkhamDB account.
• Track scenario results and keep the campaign log up to date.
• Keep track of investigator trauma and assign new random basic weaknesses as you take on new madnesses.
• Draw tokens from the digital chaos bag, and calculate the odds of success before you do.
• Use the advanced card search to search by trait, health, shroud etc. A great tool if you ever need to evaluate how many 'non-elite' enemies can be targeted by a card or know which locations a Flashlight wielding Zoey can actually stand a chance at investigating.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
More devs need to be like these lads. This is the most well made app we have ever downloaded. No ads. No forced accounts. Local OR cloud sync. Never crashes. Very responsive. The devs get our nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. We don't know who you guys are, but we're in love with you.
What a great app !!!!!! However, may have bug in new standalone scenario. At one point in scenario tokens are needed to be added to the bag, but could not see how to do it. Great app.
Blown away by how great the UI is. Thank you so much for creating this.
This app is a game changer. It simplifies a lot of the manual book keeping process for running a campaign, on top of quality of life features including syncing decks from arkhamdb, quick rule lookup, etc. The UI/UX design is also very intuitive and responsive. Also it is free? This is insane value. Thank you so much.
Finally get simplified Chinese. Now we can give 5 stars.
We just sent in some requests for a future update. The investigator notes only go so far until you cant read what youre typing. Also, would be nice to toggle off the cards you have dropped from your deck from showing (greyed out) in your hand. It muddies up the picture. Awesome app, integrates with Arkhamdb. Made by someone who loves the game and wants to contribute to the community of Arkham Horror LCG. Big thanks to the creator.
Absolutely fantastic app for building and playing Arkham lcg. Our only gripe is that its a battery hog and we dont really understand why.
The passion and skill of the developer really show thru. Thank you.
Please add Barkham horror scenario.
This app is amazing for keeping track of everything in Arkham horror. From deck building to playing the scenarios it is a must have.
The game has gotten so big that it would be nearly unplayable without this app. Easy to use. Well organized and updated constantly. Major thanks to the developer.
This has really made Arkham a manageable experience. Fantastic app even compared to paid or big tech apps.
This is an excellent assistant for Arkham Horror LCG. Beautiful look and feel, great interface for looking up cards with collection tracking, syncing with ArkhamDB. But most of all, the guided campaign feature is phenomenal. Not only does it keep track of the whole campaign log, chaos bag, deck upgrades, and added scenario cards, it also automatically shows only relevant parts of the story and setup, thus protecting from spoilers and helping to avoid setup mistakes. So far, we have used it for every campaign up to Dream Eaters and every Return To up to Carcosa with 0 issues.
Super comprehensive, virtually error-free, and always up-to-date. This app really made playing Arkham Horror LCG easier than ever, and the integration with ArkhamDB makes deck building and tracking upgrades throughout the campaign fun and effortless. Cant believe this app is free.
This app makes keeping track of your decks and campaigns super easy. We recommend it to everyone that tries AHTCG/AHLCG. Pros +Summarizes your latest deck upgrades so that you dont have to inventory your whole deck or memorize what you swapped in and out. +Easy place to keep your campaign notes and results Cons -The Guided Campaign is a nice idea, but we rarely use it because it doesnt allow us to make our own campaign notes, which we use to document which randomized cards were used. This is not a big deal and the Guided Campaigns work really well otherwise.
This app is amazing. So much easier to use it to manage the campaign, decks, etc. We dont even bother keeping rules reference on hand anymore. Our decks, tokens and the app are all we need. Would easily have paid for this.
Love this app. Perfect execution of game support in iOS. Makes actually playing the game so much easier with all the instructions at your fingertips.
We just love this app! AH:LCG is our favorite game and Arkham Cards makes it incredibly easy to create and keep track of our decks. The interactive campaign guides make running campaigns a breeze. And updates are frequent and timely! We consider it essential.
This app is so incredibly useful for quickly looking up cards, creating decks and managing a campaign. We started playing one of the Return To boxes and this streamlines the whole process – otherwise youre piecing together all rule and encounter set changes which would be a huge hassle. There is one particular upgrade that Id love to see…. Making the Draw Simulator show the cards themselves. Unless youve memorized what the card does, its hard to use it to see if youre getting the draw you want. But its still a great and indispensable app. Thank you.
Essential app for the LCG. Unfortunately card view and search is broken in version 2.3.3.
Absolutely essential for tracking investigators across a campaign. Syncs perfectly with ArkhamDB.
If youre a dedicated Arkham player we would say this is a must-download. Fantasy Flight themselves would have made an inferior app if they tried. The fact that this is free to download, completely ad-free and constantly supported with updates is just the cherry on top.
The UI is seamless and gets you what you need fast. Only wish we had one for Marvel Champions to track our campaigns.
We never write reviews for apps but had to for this one. The app is super intuitive, easy to use and just works all the time. It is regularly updated with little things that make it more user friendly. We use it every campaign we play to help keep track of card upgrades. We also use it to draw chaos tokens cause its so much faster than using the physical ones. A+ Bravo.
This has been a great app to help manage ArkhamDB cards. We cant recommend it enough for anyone who loves Arkham Horror: The Card Game.
This app really is the perfect aid for the game. Hard to imagine playing without it now. Amazing work! Thank you for sharing it.
Ive been using this to track our last 3 campaigns and we love it so much more than writing on paper. It is well designed and integrates with ArkhamDB. Outstanding work, really.
Easy to use, intuitive, great UI, updates frequently, interacts with ArkhamDB, responsive to bug reports immediately. Cant rate it highly enough.
This app does exactly what it says it should, and it does it well. Im very impressed by the ease of coordinating with ArkhamDB, and we like how you can track your chaos bag and campaign notes in one simple location. Our one wish for a really convenient feature would be a chaos bag draw feature that you could use while youre playing instead of physical tokens, using the bag that you have set for your campaign. Thanks for sharing and keeping this app updated.
Please add iPad support. This is a great app.
Really slick app for the Arkham LCG. All of the features youd want at the table. Highly recommended.
Very impressed. User friendly, informative. Helps streamline the process of deckbuilding so you can jump right in and have fun.
