nice box

Llegó en perfecto estado, no lo había encontrado en ninguna parte y tiene todos sus componentes, el envase llegó bien y dentro del tiempo esperado

Everyone I've played this with loves it. The deep narrative element and ease of use of the app make it stand out. All the pieces and counters may look intimidating, but once you understand the basics the app makes everything intuitive and smooth. A sense of real danger persists throughout each scenario, and each scenario is unique. You can die. You can go insane. You can fail. Making choices and living with them in a cooperative tabletop game is a new level of fun. This and the other expansions add elements to all scenarios while each providing a few complete experiences to keep you playing. This is an excellent expansion to an already amazing game.

This game is fun to play and definitely takes some strategy. It takes a lot of time to play. If you are new to the base game keep in mind that if it says an hour and a half play time, being new adds 4 hours plus.

The media could not be loaded. I still got family members wanting a rematch they mad cause I won!!!!!!!

What you get for your money are two new scenarios. The two scenarios are quite different in difficulty and focus.The first scenario is a Whodunnit. Your group is invited to a dinner party. The host tells you one of the other four guests is attempting to murder him. Your party searches for clues and interrogates the other guests. There is a timer, and we made the mistake of trying to investigate every last possible thing before making the accusation. This scenario is combat light and investigation heavy. It is an excellent introduction to Mansions of Madness - probably better than the introductory scenario in the core game.The second scenario is combat heavy and involves a mansion with a string of mysterious disappearances. The mansion itself becomes an enemy and starts acting in a very mysterious and highly interesting manner. I cannot go into more detail without giving away secrets - so I will stop here.My wife and I each ran two investigators each and finished both scenarios. In the second scenario we won by the skin of our teeth with no obvious mistakes and a 50% kill rate on our four characters. The tension was very high and we did not know until the final play if we would win or lose. It was very gripping.We have found that it takes us about double the length of time to complete every scenario compared to the game guidelines. But we read all of the text from the app and think through our moves. We treat this as a cooperative strategy game that rewards good play - not a blow through the mystery in the shortest number of steps while enjoying a few drinks.I think the replay value would be high. The Whodunnit can obviously change the guilty party with each play. The second scenario is tough enough that any win feels like an accomplishment.We thought that our $25 was well spent. We enjoyed playing this and may replay it in the future. We have all of the expansions save one - and the app used items and spells from expansions other than this one and the base game. I think this gives additional variety to your play-throughs compared to having only this expansion and the core game.If you have played the core game - the learning curve for this expansion is minimal. Nothing in the additional spells, items, or whatnot noticeably increases the difficulty of the game.

Le agrega mucha jugabilidad al juego base.
