Mansions of Madness

Mansions of Madness is a great board game and this app is your Game Keeper. I'm glad it's free, it's awesome but could be better with more sound effects and voiceovers. I definitely think we should be able to save multiple game sessions.

Best App for a board game!

Warning! You need the physical game to play this! Review to follow.

MORE DLCS!!! What is this? rip off. 1 DLC. there you go. what a joke.

Superb replacement for the keeper. AND you can also be the APP keeper if you wish. Kidding aside, they need to come out with MORE DLCs! More sound effects, voice overs, monster death sounds, monster attack sounds and animations, ETC; i don't think players would mind more atmosphere ... Also, it'd be nice if during resolution of tests or combat that you don't know what happens if you pass or fail until you confirm if you've succeeded or failed. Lastly, It'd be really nice also to add a "Create Your Own Scenario" mode that you can create, save, and possibly share your own homebrew scenarios. But over all I love the game and the app ofcourse. Pick it up at your local gamestore today!

Love this game!

PROS: Excellent update for this game that really improves upon the first edition and allows it to realize its potential. Some of my best tabletop gaming experineces were with the First Edition, but those great experiences were outnumbered by the times that the scenarios did not work, were glitchy, or we were destroyed by the all-powerful keeper. Playing the second edition with the same group of friends is a far better experience. The app streamlines the set-up and mythos phases so that they work a lot better and makes the game flow so much quicker. Scenarios are well designed and challenging and the tweaking of rules with regard to dice rolling, spells, and character abilities really help the game as well. We have played The Cycle of Eternity and Escape from Innsmouth three times each. We have also played through Vengeful Impulses and Silverwood Manor once each. There has been good variation on all of our repeated playthroughs which adds greatly to the game. If you had the fi...

Overall a pretty good digital adaptation of the Keeper role from the first edition of MoM. The included scenarios are fun, though the difficulty seems a little high for 2 players in combat heavy scenerios. I do have some criticisms however. The app largely fails to take advantage of its digital nature; it doesn't make the most of the things it could do that a purely physical game coudn't. Compared to the Xcom boardgame app, there is no tutorial, no rulebook included in the app, and no handy links to a digital rules reference while playing. The most clunky aspect of the design is that, essentially, the rules you have to learn are spread accross the instructions from the app and the rulebook, meaning that a new player must refer back and forth between them while playing. This is something Xcom avoids; everything you need to know is in the app and by design you learn as you play. Additionally, the Xcom app is explicit about what you must do to resolve everything; with links to the rel...

Great companion for the game :)
