Arkham Horror
What are the strange cards with codex-like fronts and neighborhood-style backs?
The rulebook's archive setup defines these cards by their number, and forum posters agree on how to keep them.

They are archive cards. Their fronts and backs vary, but each has a large card number in the top-left corner, which is how you identify them. Keep them in one stack in numerical order and use each one only when a scenario or codex instruction calls for it. The codex is the play-area collection those cards are later added to.
