''"In Massachusetts during the 1990s, true Collectors know that wealth alone is meaningless. Success is measured not in dollars, but in the rarity—and the peril—of the treasures you claim. In Arkham, where strange rumors linger and uncanny events unfold with unsettling regularity, a simple flea market can outshine the grandest of art auctions.
Do you have the cunning to secure the most coveted relics for your Private Collection—while luring rivals into grasping the worthless, or even the cursed? Outwit, deceive, and bargain your way to prestige… if you dare."''

'''Arkham Collectors War''' is a competitive card game for 2–5 players. As Collectors, you’ll acquire items either from the shared Showcase or from rival players’ Offers to assemble your own. The challenge? Lure opponents into claiming the less desirable items—sometimes by trickery, sometimes by clever play—while securing the finest treasures for your own Private Collection.
Victory goes to the Collector who balances it all: keeping the fewest items in stock, crafting the most tempting Offer, and—above all—curating the most Prestigious Private Collection.

== Components ==
The box includes:
* 5× Help Cards
* 3× Time Cards
* 40× Item Cards (yellow, red, blue, green and purple - sets from 1 to 4, 2 sets per color)
* 8× Artifact Cards (multicolor, 2 of each type)

'''Relics Module''' (if not used, ignore all related parts):

# Split the remaining cards into two halves (roughly equal) and shuffle the 3 Time Cards into one half.
# Place the deck containing the Time Cards in the center of the table, then place the other half on top.
# Randomly choose the starting Collector.
