Fact: This game is awesome. Fact: very awesome job at giving off an eery vibe the entire game.
I was skeptical at first because of the price tag, but decided on buying it anyway. I am glad I did. To briefly summon it up: it’s like Scooby Doo for adults, and very unsettling in the best way possible!
Minis are detailed AF.
All the pieces, cards, tiles, are awesome quality. Not cheap.
App integration is surprisingly easy, straightforward, and immersive.
All in all, 10/10 would recommend.
Awesome Addition to the Game!
I have been playing MoM since 1st edition and they never fail to please with the quality and fun with each new expansion.
Cant wait for more!
My partner and I sunk about 10 hours into this game on the first day! It is very fun. Sort of D&D lite, but still complex and involving a good amount of choice-and-consequence. My only quibble is that there are *not* 22 scenarios included in the price. There are 4 scenarios that come with the game, and then a few you can buy on the app for $5 each, and then even more that involve buying more physical products. For $90, you'd think they would include a few more scenarios! There is some replay value, but it's less fun when you already know the plot.

This game was everything that I had expected and more. Fun and challenging!

Great game, need a lot of time to sit down and commit to play a game. We've found it quite challenging, especially when someone goes "insane" and ends up with an alternate win condition. Have yet to beat any of the storylines.

This game has to be played with the app since the app controls the npcs and the mythos (monster) phase. The game brings a bunch of scenarios which will keep you busy for a long time, plus you can save your progress in the app if you need to take a break from playing. Amazing game, the only bad thing is that if you are a collectionist, you'll have big trouble finding recurring nightmares and suppressed memories to add to the collection.

Good game
New version of my old favourite game. I will miss being a game master but at least I can finally play as normal playe
It will swallow your soul
This game grows on you. It crawls into your brain and rolls around for a while. What could we have done differently? How should we have played that one encounter? What is the best starting lineup?
Excellent family game for families with teenagers. Lots of fun. Excellent theme. And unlike many games that utilize apps, this app really adds quite a bit to the experience. The app is sort of a DM for the game, which is really cool way of doing things.
Brilliant game
This game looks very complex however when you get going it is actually not too bad. Have a quick read of the rules and then away you go. The app works well with the game and keeps it flowing. On a negative note though the figures are not brilliantly made and are flimsy plastic which bend and would break without much force. That aside and keeping them safe it is fine. A must buy for anyone after a good RPG

The gameplay was great. The new investigators added much needed spice to the core game. My eleven year old son was able to learn the new bits very easily.

Great game, I wish they would make more expansions or other mobile app driven games like these. All pieces were in brand new condition and ready to play.

Nice game. Quick delivery. A bit on the expensive side. But worth the price. The game has a good build quality. Needs a lot of patience if playing for the first time.

It’s a brilliant horror/mystery board game to play with your friends. Initially, I’m kinda scared by the price tag, 100 bucks are really not cheap for a BG. I personally am a huge board game fan and owned many Fantasy Flight Games so I decided to try it out. And after playing it for extensive times with my friends, I can confidently say that it is truly worth buying. Not only me but also my friends who never played this type of BG (they do like playing poker and Monopoly, etc.) are now begging me for more.
The best part of the game is the scenarios. Some of them are story-based, some of them focus more on strategy and some of them require your party to solve a mystery … you can experience many play styles in this game and never get bored. Normally this type of BG has very complex rules that will scare many people off, but luckily this game comes with an app that you can use which reduces the complexity a lot. So as long as one of the player spend some time read the rules and follow the app instruction, everyone else can just go with him with minimal efforts. The only thing that might bother you is the length of the game – most scenarios require around 2-3 hours to finish and some very long ones can take up to 6 hours.
Overall I highly recommend this game. Gather some friends, grab some beer and enjoy your board game night!
Fantastic board game! You should absolutely try it out.

Great board game
So much fun to play it, can be even played by one player! Better with at least two!
Fun and good game!
The figures are not the best but the game is really good and fun!
Expect somewhat of a learning curve, but it is well worth it! This game is amazing, immersive, and great for getting friends together. I love the variation in how you can run each scenario. It’s a top game for our board game group and is a must have for all collections.

It's pretty hard and it has a really long set up and tear down and there are a couple rules that pop up that I have to refer to the manual to remember how they affect gameplay. Otherwise an extremely immersive and addicting experience set in the Lovecraft universe, it really couldn't be a cooler theme.

A great expansion for mystery-solvers. 3 new cases: I’ve played 2 so far and lived them both. 2 new characters who are not very appealing. New enemy types are awesome.
On the pricey side, but an amazing game. After playing through once you get the hang of it. The app helps guide you along so it is very easy to follow.

Great game, scenarios change when played multiple times making it different each time. Have time estimates are much shorter than actual play time but otherwise we love it.

The companion app is amazing and helps out a ton with learning. However, but sure to read the rules carefully especially regarding movement so that you don’t handicap yourself.

This game is fun and lasts anywhere from an hour to three so far. We have yet to finish a campaign because my husband keeps dying. If an investigator dies you can't complete the mission. We've done two so far. It's still fun. Eventhough we have played the same campaign the story hadn't been the same because the choices seem to change the outcome.

Great game made even better with the 2nd edition!
I loved the first edition but that was a pain to set up. The second edition’s make set up a breeze!
And let’s you play solo, which I’ve done and had a blast.
Note if you have the 1st edition:
You can use the map tiles, monsters and investigators!!!
My box didn’t come with the upgrade kit for the first edition stuff. If this happens to you just contact Fantasy Flight Games and they will send it to you.
Great Game, Poor Quality Control
First of all, this isn’t a criticism of Amazon, Amazon have handled this issue very well, but I would like to mention that similar to other reviews, I have also experienced poor quality control issues.
The key issue is that one of the plastic monsters was missing from the box. Unfortunately, Amazon is currently unable to provide missing pieces so would require the entire box (it’s hefty) to be sent back in order to provide the new one which unfortunately is still likely to have quality control issues. I was reluctant to do this, especially when the game is playable without the Ghost (there are two monsters, one was already provided, one was missing). Amazon were kind enough to provide a discounted price as a result, and I am now in contact with Fantasy Flight Games to get the piece replaced directly by the supplier (who presumably will be able to send a piece direct rather than reshipping the entire game (did I mention it was hefty).
I also discovered that the different decks for the games had been jumbled up in two separate packs within the box. I’m really not sure how that was even able to happen, but it did take a while to sort through them all and then count them to make sure nothing had been missed.
It’s not major, but it’s just disappointing to see a lack of good quality control going into such a premium product. I would advise that any future buyers check through the contents as soon as they get the box and to count off the contents against the inventory.

Excelente juego de mesa de 1 a 5 jugadores.
Excelente juego de mesa, mucho mejor que la primera edicion, el setup es bastante rapido. Con respecto al envio, me llego golpeada la caja, no da ninguno de los componentes pero se ve maltratada la caja.
Very fun Game to play with a group or alone.

Great board game to do solo playing and with friends or family. It works with a companion app that makes the game more interactive and fun. The game will require sometime and tries to fully understand the gameplay, but i. The end it is a lot of fun. Aslo this games has expansions available that uses the same app by just enabling them.

A story you and friends can get involved in without having to spend hours DM’ing and creating a story yourself. High learning curve but once you get the hang of it you’re set.

I've bought this for myself, my sister, my brother-in-law. Everyone that comes to our houses and plays with us loves this! Its a bit pricey, but oh so worth it! The mobile app is like having your own Dungeon Master, and it changes up the scenario enough to feel different every time you run the same scenario again. Its great!

Great game for two people. Also good for more. Tons of fun, we got this a few weeks ago and love playing. The add ons are also endless. I don’t think we’ll ever get bored of this game.

Muy bueno, divertido e inmersivo. Sin embargo el tiempo real de juego es muy superior a lo que indica la caja. Nadie, llevando adecuadamente el juego, leyendo todos los eventos y tomando un poco de tiempo para resolver los acertijos, puede terminar este juego en 90 mins. Tiempo aproximado por juego de 120 a 180 minutos dependiendo de la historia, sabindolo jugar.

Great game with a lot of cool stuff. The only negative for me is that I received a 3rd monster platform for the riot mob instead of a second platform for the Star Spawn mob.

Thrilling Lovecraftian cosmic intrigue in a board game
I really like the creativity and story telling incorporated in the Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition world. We enjoy the iPad integrated “Keeper” role and well-done graphics. “Mansions” is a board game that leads players through the adventure with a mobile app.
My friends and family love the adventures of cosmic horror intrigue and mystery, but we don’t have time to build our own and appreciate this Fantasy Flight alternatives.
This is not just one game, but a portal for many games. The basic set gives a few great introductory storylines, with a few in-app-purchase options using the core game pieces. Each adventure is very challenging and can unfold in myriad threads, so each can enjoyably be played multiple times.
These adventures are challenging and can be difficult to win, so with each replay the players learn new strategies and aspects of the game that make it even more fun. The game balance is appropriate for the “Mansions world”, where humans are fragile creatures in the face of ancient threats.
Downsides include a lot of moving pieces, so at least one player needs to organize and manage the game board and game pieces, configured to give players the situational awareness during play.
Increíble juego
Uno de los mejores juegos de
Mesa que he jugado
An awesome game! I absolutely love the creepy stories and engaging characters in this game. Depending on your choices, the story changes every time. I’d highly recommend this game to big time board game lovers!

Love love love this game. If you like story-based games whose outcomes vary depending on choice made in the game, very difficult games, mansion/dungeon crawlers with monsters, cooperative games - this one is for you. I'm going to purchase every expansion.

Scarily good
Played this for the first time recently and I found it quite easy to pick up with the help of a youtube video and had so much fun. I was actually scared and kept jumping at the app when a new scenario was happening. My friend loved the game and took a lot of joy from me being a scardey cat. There are so many games it will not get old any time soon!

So immersive. Get ready to lose track of time for 3-4 hours at a time. Never slow. Never boring. By far my favorite board game.

In total I own over 400 board games and I must say this is by far one of the best. It’s a fantastic mix of both old school dice rolling board game and new age app instructed. You start out with a great narrative from the app and a single room. You then get to explore the Mansion of Madness, while all the way the app unleashes twists and turns try to kill you or make you go insane. The only down side to this game is the instructions could be a little easier to follow but they are not impossible and after a play through things start to make more sense. I can’t recommend this game enough it’s pure joy to play.

Die Spielplanteile und Figuren sind super verarbeitet. Und es gibt 3 neue Szenarien. Fr jeden Liebhaber ein muss.
Literally the best game I have ever played. Don't forget to get the expansions, too.

This is a great expansion of the original game!! It has given us many hours of fun and changed up the options for which scenario we want to do.

Amazing boardgame, really easy to play. First choice for a boardgames night with friends.
A good addition to the collection.
Very fun game, initial set up takes a while but it’s expected of a game this big.
Definitely worth it for that Eldrich hit. As good as the card series.
Nothing more to be said. Just extra dice for Mansions of Madness 2nd edition. Always welcome if you play with larger player counts. Plus, if you ever need to roll more than you have, now you have them. Lol.
This is my all-time favorite board game. The first edition was really solid, but the second is SO much better. The app-based version makes the game easier to learn, set up, and provides a bit more mystery to the game. An overall high quality experience.

We’ve only had a chance to play this twice now, but it’s been a blast! It definitely plays a bit like a one-off D&D campaign and clips along at a good pace once you’ve gotten past learning all the rules. I think the best part is that it’s possible to play with only 1-2 players, which is critical since none of our friends live very close. The companion app also adds a great spooky atmosphere to the game.
The only downside I’ve encountered is that figures and cards don’t sit very firmly in the base and tend to just cause a big mess in the bottom of the box.
But overall it’s a very enjoyable game that I’d recommend to any tabletop gamer and horror enthusiast!

Great expansion with extra figures included!
My son was very happy with this expansion as he plays this with his mates.
I admit, I was a little leery of a board game requiring an app, but in this case it really makes everything run smoother and helps with the ambience of the game. It's a great game, though, at least in my case... tough. I enjoyed the game quite a lot. Probably best to use a tablet or laptop though.

My favorite thing about this game is not only is the gameplay never the same but how easy it was to pick up. I didn’t have to google anything if I had any questions they were all answered with what the game provided. It’s extremely immersive and the different style of playing with an app and a board is amazing and done so well. Looking forward to buying the expansions!!

Una ampliación que mejora la experiencia de juego.
Buenos materiales y buen acabado, encaja perfectamente para extender el alcance de las partidas. Contento, la verdad.
Great Quality
We’re big mansions fans and this is a great addition to our collectio
Very fun, spooky game!
Disclaimer: I love Lovecraft-themed games.
Gave this game a go with my 5-person gaming group. The app works really well at guiding players through the game, and makes learning the game fairly easy. Many of of the rules come down to “when X happens, follow the instructions that the app gives you.” The map-boards are beautiful as well as sturdy. The miniatures don’t have the best detail, but they certainly get the job done; when a Star Spawn is bearing down on your investigators, you will be afraid!
The game itself is a lot of fun. Basically, your group of investigators move through a location, revealing new map tiles and other clues along the way, and occasionally horrifying monsters. There is a pervasive sense of dread that persists throughout the game, punctuated by nice musical stings from the app. It’s not an easy game; we managed to win our first game by the skin of our teeth.
Final analysis, I will be spending a lot of time playing this game, and have already started picking up the expansions!
Fantastic game. Highly recommend. Download the app to get a feel for the game before you buy. App required for the game, but adds to the immersion of the entire experience.

I first heard about this from the Node youtube channel and it looked really neat. After playing through the smallest level and dying on the biggest 5 times, I can honestly tell you that this is just as fun and thrilling as they made it seem. It was like a railroaded D&D campaign, but with a computer DM and it was a thrilling ride all the way through. One thing I will note is that you can play this alone, but it’s way better with multiple people.

Excelente juego
Excelente juego, lo estuve buscando mucho tiempo.
Mi unico problema fue con el embalaje, normalmente me envian estos juegos en caja, pero en esta ocasion venia en bolsa unicamente, por lo que la caja del juego llego daada de las esquinas, no es nada que afecte la funcionalidad ni mucho menos, pero esteticamente se ve mal, ademas alguien exigente (coleccionista o asi) puede molestarse mucho.
El juego es muy entretenido, partidas de larga duracion, la app se puede poner en espaol y la mayor parte del juego te guia, asi que yo consideria que tiene poca dependencia de idioma, claro que las tarjetas son en ingles y pues si debes tener nocion del mismo.

Rajout plus de difficult et de challenge dans le jeu
Excellent jeu
Trs bon jeu mais qui peux finir par durer plus longtemps que prvu garder en tte que c’est pas des partie trs courte.
Pricey for just a few pieces. It is an expansion that DOES require the original mansions of madness or the second edition full game. This box does NOT come with enough to play a game without the origional.
Fantastic atmosphere
An awesome game. The app works brilliantly in that it os a true co-op game. Quick and easy to set up and clear away and it is really immersive. We have played 15-20 times in 4 months and love that each play-through is completely different.
The perfect mechanic for a co-op board game/ computer hybrid.
We have been blown away with simple and fun this game is -right from the first session. A brilliant combination of board/role play/computer game that takes over as DM and lets you all work together to explore and fight evil.
Very immersive with spooky sounds and events running smoothly on the excellent APP.
I worry that some older games will now feel a bit clunky and obsolete!
Not sure about the figure base system though when it comes to painting etc.-some bases are huge and rather unwieldy.
Having said that all materials, cards and figures are of a brilliant quality.
I debated paying this much for a game-I just wish I had bought it sooner!
Este juego de temtica Lovecraftiana, no solo es una pasada, sino que combina mecnicas de “toca-toca” con miniaturas, escenarios y muchas cartas, con automatizaciones de una app de mvil/tablet que te introducir un dinamismo, atmsfera (con su msica y escenarios) que hace las partidas apasionantes!
Yo soy un fan de lovecraft empedernido y un jugador de juegos de mesa voraz, y tras repetir 4 veces la primera misin dir que sigo con ganas de jugarla. Tiene mucho contenido entre expansiones y misiones (un poco carillas eso si) con lo que tiene mucho juego por delante.

2 of the 3 Scenarios were very fun. My group didn’t enjoy the defector scenario as much. It might be more fun with more players but with 3 it didn’t really feel satisfying. I still felt it was worth it with just the two other options.
Aporta variedad al juego...
Esta expansin ofrece dos nuevos escenarios al juego base para jugar con la App un nuevo tipo de monstruo, dos investigadores y losetas tipo pasillo, adems de dos nuevos hechizos, el estado hipnotizado y nuevas cartas de objetos.
Es una buena expansin de caja pequea que le da ms variedad al juego y podra decir que es muy independiente del idioma ya que el texto en la cartas de objetos, estados, etc., son cortos e intuitivos.
En general muy bien. Lo nico que se extraa es que debi haber incluido una loseta grande de habitacin.
El pedido lleg en tiempo y la caja en buenas condiciones.

Excelente juego
Si te gustan los juegos de misterio y terror, este juego es perfecto. El requerir una app para poder jugar puede sonar tonto, pero cuando lo pruebas entiendes el por qu. El contenido del juego es amplio y se puede expandir con ms escenarios, tanto oficiales como creados por fans.
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. We have a board game night every month with our kids and friends. This game is great. It uses an app and brings a whole new level of fun.

The price seems high, and it is, but this game is exceptional. Artwork is good, minis are cool, game board tiles look great. Despite only having 4 scenarios, replay value is good because it can change up the maps and monsters in a scenarios from one session to another. Cool game. Highly recommended.

App really adds to the game
Love the way the app works together with this boardgame. Takes away the hassle of a game master, and allows the full party to enjoy the scenario’s. Despite the app randomising, there’s not that much replayability once you finished a scenario, but with the expansions this should be alright.
Love the app interaction, I'd suggest using a laptop or tablet instead of phone. Also using some speakers for the ambient sounds is not necessary but makes it more interactive.

I'm a big fan of Lovecraft and the other Fantasy Flight titles in this genre (Arkham Horror, Eldritch Horror, Elder Sign) so this was a no brainer for me. Lots of theme, strategy and use of a tablet app which is extremely well done. Best of all, I got the game for $55.99 on a lightning deal. Probably the best deal I've ever had on Amazon!

Super fun for two people. We played with five and that was fun as well. We ended up buying clear acyrilic disks and based the minis on them because the black square bases are weird and the minus don't stay on. Using an app is required to play this game. A laptop or large tablet would be preferable. It seems like there is about twenty hours or so of content for the base game. There is some "dlc" that doesn't require a physical expansion to add content, but does cost a small amount.

Really fun game
I really enjoy playing this game.
If you play the same mission again it does change slightly which is nice as some missions are hard and need play them over again to try and complete.

It is really fun game but it only comes with 4 scenarios. You can replay the scenarios but it would be better if it came with more especially at this price. The packaging leaves a lot to be desired. They could have provided at least a basic divider or bags.
Great product. Large capacity, packs small
Bought to use cycling, this has a large capacity with lots of pockets, but is lightweight and packs small. Seems strong so far and there are reflective strips as well as the red colour to make me more visible.
Intuitive rules so begginers can join in, good selection of characters, items and spells. the app is very user friendly and really helps with the immersion. 10/10 would recommend

What a great and immersive experience, gameplay is fun and quick to learn. My only negative is that the base game only comes with 4 scenarios on the app, the rest are DLC or expansion content, could have used at least 1-2 more included in core se

Excellent quality of the components (as fantasy flight is known for). Hours of fun, engaging game play. Is naturally a difficult game and meant for the intermediate to experienced board game player. WORTH THE MONEY. I know it’s expensive but the interactive play with the app/computer program is worth the money. Any Arkham/Lovecraft fan who’s into board games will love it.

Love this game and the interactive app that goes with it. Draw backs are that there are so many expansions and the app displays games for those expansions as well as this one. Also, all games take longer than estimated time listed at least from this version and you want a BIG space for expansion as you build the board. Kitchen table should do nicely but you may be moving your individual items around to make room. We used the floor. Really fun. Failed to beat the board twice before a third round got us a twist ending. Very fun and playable solo because you can play multiple investigators.
