The Colour Out of Oz Campaign

It was the vegetation. All the orchard trees blossomed forth in strange colours, and through the stony soil of the yard and adjacent pasturage there sprang up a bizarre growth which only a botanist could connect with the proper flora of the region. No sane wholesome colours were anywhere to be seen except in the green grass and leafage; but everywhere those hectic and prismatic variants of some diseased, underlying primary tone without a place among the known tints of earth.

— H. P. Lovecraft, The Colour Out of Space

The Colour Out of Oz is an 8-part campaign for Arkham Horror: The Card Game adapted from both The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft and the Oz series of books by L. Frank Baum.

From the Dark Reaches of Space

The events that wreaked havoc at the Gardner farm so many years ago are threatening once again as another even larger meteor approaches Earth! You are hired to accompany the Miskatonic expedition to the Pacific Ocean in pursuit of the meteor’s landing site, only to discover a strange land that should not exist!

The Colour is an entity that defies definition, but its corruption rapidly sweeps over the land, growing big enough to threaten the entire world if left unchecked! Many scenario cards in The Colour Out of Oz make use of the Decay X mechanic to show the steady degradation of the Colour’s infection. Cards with decay are on a timer, with a horror token removed from those cards each round. When no horror remains, catastrophe strikes!

The Champions of Oz

In your quest to expel the Colour from Earth, you venture into the wondrous fairy country of Oz and seek any assistance you can find. While the people of Oz are strangers to the horrific mythos, there are still several among their ranks with the courage and skill to assist you in your mission. For each leg of the journey, you will choose several companions to lend you their talents. Be warned that as the citizens of Oz are gradually exposed to the Colour, they risk their lives and sanity!

Unlike other allies which are added to player decks, the chosen companions are always available to the entire group through the Boon Companions cards. There are two ways to utilize each companion, so choose wisely turn by turn!

You will need all the help you can get as the Colour rapidly warps the world around it! Is there truly a way to stop the alien corruption? Or is Oz simply ground zero for the doom of Earth? Keep your wits and well-being as you fight to drive the Colour back into space!
