Mansions of Madness Hits the Shelves!

Mar 3, 2011

Hot off the Griddle, the Fantasy Flight Games release of Mansions of Madness is now available. Delve deeper into the realm of horror than ever before. Simply opening the box will cost you 1d4 sanity loss. The game is based upon the Cthulhu Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft and accommodates 2-5 players. One of those players needs to be the keeper, the director of the entire plot to release some horrific menace upon the surface of an unsuspecting Earth.

Here is FFG’s description:

Horrific monsters and spectral presences lurk in manors, crypts, schools, monasteries, and derelict buildings near Arkham, Massachusetts. Some spin dark conspiracies while others wait for hapless victims to devour or drive insane. It’s up to a handful of brave investigators to explore these cursed places and uncover the truth about the living nightmares within.

Designed by Corey Konieczka, Mansions of Madness is a macabre game of horror, insanity, and mystery for two to five players. Each game takes place within a pre-designed story that provides players with a unique map and several combinations of plot threads. These threads affect the monsters that investigators may encounter, the clues they need to find, and which climactic story ending they will ultimately experience. One player takes on the role of the keeper, controlling the monsters and other malicious powers within the story. The other players take on the role of investigators, searching for answers while struggling to survive with their minds intact.
