Encounter

From Arkham Horror Wiki

Generally, an Investigator has an encounter during the Arkham Encounters and Other World Encounters phases by drawing the appropriate card. For Arkham Encounters, the player shuffles the appropriate location encounter deck and randomly choosing a card. For Other World Encounters, the player draws the top card from the gate deck.
