Each wound or mental shock is represented by a card, but certain effects in the game will make you flip these to reveal some horrible effect as the wound intensifies. Inevitably these events, or the monsters will see you taking damage and this system is really great. But I do miss that tangible threat from a great Keeper.
MANSIONS OF MADNESS SECOND EDITION MINIATURES SERIES
The mythos phase, in which the house fights back against the interlopers, is much faster, much smoother, and just as threatening with strange events afflicting your investigators, even if it is just a series of random tests. The scope of this system is fantastic and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here! Sometimes you’ll come across a puzzle, but where once was a pile of cardboard pieces to play with, now you have a puzzle appear on the app. The rest of the house remains a mystery that steadily reveals itself as you explore! You never know what might be behind the next door, in the next drawer you check. That said, the app is otherwise amazing! No longer do you need to completely build the mansion to begin with, instead you start with just the entrance hall with a pile of tokens to investigate. In this new edition, throughout the first scenario, they just charge blindly after you. Did I want a fully cooperative experience? Part of the appeal was in knowing how intelligently the monsters would act.

And yet it told the best stories, created the feeling of a grand mystery, and offered some moments of incredible Lovecraftian horror.īut when I heard that a 2 nd edition was coming, and that it did away with the Keeper in favour of an app I was worried. Mansions of Madness was always tremendously fun but certainly had it’s flaws: it was incredibly fiddly, with ludicrous piles of cards, a nightmarish set-up time and a degree of linearity to it that left you feeling that you were really just following a trail of breadcrumbs around this great cardboard house. Another game saw us, having drunk a few beers, starting the set up for a particularly complex scenario at 10pm. I have to kill you.” I had been turned by the keeper, the ruler of the house, to betray the heroes and the look of shock and horror on her face was utterly priceless. One game came to an end with me, one of the investigators, the supposed good-guys, turning to my friend’s girlfriend and saying the words… “I’m sorry. It is responsible, perhaps, for some of my best gaming memories. There are also a bunch of cardboard tokens that you will place on the board tiles to denote items of interest or locals that you can explore.I loved Mansions of Madness 1 st Edition. Bookoos of mini cards with all the spells, items, weapons and other things you can find/do that are all of a good card quality. Also no Fantasy Flight game would be complete without their miniature sized cards as well with this game being no exception.

They did this because there are small tokens you slide into the base to denote the monsters strength which is handy….BUT the app takes care of all this….soooooo yeah.

Unless you glue them, they most likely will not stay attached to the base and they are kinda ugly AND they take up SO much space on the board tiles. Oh and the monster minis! These are all unique and look great however they went a weird route with them and include these little square plastic bases that you are supposed to attach the monsters to. Other than the board tiles there are also a bunch of character miniatures all with different sculpts that are decently detailed.
