Mansions of Madness Second Edition is a co-operative game, suitable for 1-5 players that transports players into the mystical world of H.P. Lovecraft, taking on the role of investigators, tasked with investigating harrowing cases of murder and dark magic, that will see them dragged to the depths of hell, led through dark and desolate halls and streets and faced with unspeakably foul monsters and creatures that will make even the strongest investigators quake.

The much loved first edition from Fantasy Flight Games returns with a major additions to allow players to have a more enjoyable and streamlined experience throughout their investigations. The main addition to Mansions of Madness Second Edition is that of a companion app that will take over as the “dungeon master” - letting all players fully absorb this Lovecraftian atmosphere that the game conjures up!

The app will guide the players through the dark and dangerous streets of Arkham, the dimly buildings of Innsmouth and the cursed halls of grand mansions, while offering the investigators with little respite! It is up to you, as a team, to decide where to explore, what to investigate and ultimately decide how to successfully complete each investigation.

Be warned however, as if you stray too far in the wrong direction, you may find yourself at the mercy of one of Lovecraft’s most evil creatures, an interaction that may just cost you your life! With each turn, you risk obtaining damage and horror, all of which can hamper your efforts and lead to your demise! Keep vigilant, as if you gain too much of either effect, you may find yourself wounded, with little left to help you, or you may just go insane, and your world will be flipped upside down, along with your investigation!

Items, spells and actions can all assist you in your journey, from bandages and weapons, to ancient spells designed to send evil forces back to their unsavoury worlds! The game also includes highly-detailed miniatures to allow players to transport themselves into said worlds, while the artwork adds theme and feeling to this fantastic game.

Mansions of Madness draws players in with its immersive gameplay and beautifully themed investigations, so much so that this game will have you begging for more and is sure to have every hair on your back raised throughout! Enjoy at your own risk!

First game i played with a companion app, sounded like a bad ideia at first but it makes an amazing story telling game . One of my favorites for sure.

Simply superb immersive co-op game with great replayability. Bought for my son a few years ago. When he moved away and took it with him I just had to get my own set!

Masterpiece, must have for horror fans. App-driven game, not for everyone. The app is very well designed, it helps the game to create a great atmosphere and run it at the right place. Highly recommended!

What a game! Love it. Beautifully designed, well-made miniatures and high quality game pieces. The art work in the physical boardgame and interactive app is stunning and sets a great mood for the story. Working cooperatively, all players stay engaged with the storyline what the next course of action should be. I would add that it is worth acquiring some expansions too.

It is a tad expensive, but it's got a ton of minis and a computer controlled Dungeon Master. It's fun with new players, and despite the imposing box, it's actually a really simple game.

Beautifully made, cooperative game that does an excellent job of plunging the players into the world of HP Lovecraft. We first tried the App using a mobile phone which was a big mistake as the writing was small and difficult to read, but subsequent games using a tablet have been fantastic.

By far my favourite cooperative boardgame at the moment! It's beautifully designed and every new game has an intriguing storyline generated by the free app. The first game will feel daunting, but you'll be wanting to play again and again.
