The second edition came with a conversion kit that allowed players who owned the first edition base game and either of its big-box expansions Forbidden Alchemy and Call of the Wild to incorporate their investigator figures, monster figures, and map tiles into the second edition game to add more variety and unlock extra scenarios. The app allows the game to be played solo. The app expanded the gameplay in several ways including the randomisation of maps and monsters and incorporating an extended range of interactive puzzles into the app.
MANSIONS OF MADNESS SECOND EDITION DLC ANDROID
Aside from some minor modifications, gameplay was fundamentally the same as in the first edition but with the role of the keeper replaced by a companion app that would run through Steam on Mac or PC, Apple iOS, or Android platforms. On 4 August 2016 a second edition of Mansions of Madness was released. The keeper knows the objective from the beginning while the goal is hidden from the investigators until near the end of the game. Threat points are a resource required to use most of the keepers ability cards. The keeper accumulates threat points equivalent to the number of investigators each turn. During the investigators turn, the keeper may play mythos cards to attempt to injure the character physically or mentally, degrade or destroy their items, or otherwise set them back.Īfter the investigators complete their turns, the keeper gets to react. or the investigator could develop nyctophobia after having an encounter with an eldritch horror. For instance, an investigator might receive damage of a broken leg and be unable to move as quickly as before. Each time an investigator suffers damage, the keeper may play trauma cards that inflict further penalties.
Each investigator has a health and sanity value that is depleted when the character is wounded or scared. Each investigator may move two spaces and carry out one action. Then the other explorers take turns exploring. After setting up, the players begin at the designated starting point and if there is a main character, that player with the main character role goes first. The keeper consults the rule book to make decisions about the story and to place clues and traps across the board. At the beginning of the game, the players pick a storyline and set up the map accordingly. One player takes the role of the keeper, who is responsible for the monsters and happenings of the game the other players take on the roles of investigators, who solve a mystery. Mansions of Madness requires two to five players.
