More Information Edit | History

Have you seen the Yellow Sign?

A new play is coming to Miskatonic University, and anyone who's anyone will be there for the opening performance. However, there's something sinister about this play, and the people who see it come back a little... different.

As if the investigators didn't have enough to worry about before, now they must deal with the mind-warping effects of the King in Yellow, a play that tells a tale of madness and horror, opening a door for the Tattered King to enter through.

4 King In Yellow Tuckbox
I thought that while not using some of the KiY Mythos, Act and Blight cards and KiY markers, I still can store them the in the base games box in this tuckbox, that is uniform with the rest of my storage solutions :) Based on a template made by goobus (Heather B), that's used in her excellent base game tuckboxes.
