Mansions of Madness: Second Edition is a fully co-operative, app-driven board game of horror and mystery for one to five players that takes place in the same universe as Eldritch Horror and Elder Sign. An immersive app guides the players through the streets of Innsmouth and its haunted corridors of Arkham’s cursed mansions as you search for answers and respite. Up to eight investigators stand ready to confront four scenarios of fear and mystery, collecting weapons, tools, and information, solving complex puzzles, fighting monsters, dodging insanity, and risking death.

Brian, Lee and Richard are currently playing weekday scenarios. So far, we have finished two scenarios; Gangs of Arkham and Cycle of Eternity. Both with mixed results.

The American paratrooper were tasked with holding a vital crossroad to disrupt German reinforcements. The Americans were holed up in stone houses with open fields on one side and dense intermittent woods on the other with the addition of some tanks that made it through German lines. A German machine gun battalion approached from the wooded area and took up a defensive position behind a stone fence line and proceeded to pound an American platoon guarding the crossroad. The German were waiting for armour reinforcements from the field side of the stone houses.

Once the German armour (Brian) arrived, the German infantry (Richard) called in the heavy mortars against American paratroopers guarding the crossroads. The Americans tried to retreat to the stone houses but were caught in the open and pinned down by the mortar barrages. The American infantry (Steve) were rendered inoperable. After that, the wooded area area stayed static.

On the field side, a fierce armour battle was ensuing. The American armour (Lee) at first crippled the German armour (Brian) and rendered them immobile but still combat ready. After a bitter duel, all the American armor was destroyed. The American paratroopers surrendered and they were assumed interred in a camp. They were found after the American Normandy victory under the field. The GM (Jim) was found with the remains with a mobile communications device clinched in his hand.
