![]() Perhaps it helped us that we played the first edition and had a basic comprehension of the game. As designed by Corey Konieczka, and like all the Lovecraftian themed games by Fantasy Flight, it has a lot of rules but these are a lot more manageable than the first edition ones. Dutifully changed all the cards on the monster miniatures while my husband made his way through the rules. ![]() What luck! And what was even better, they would incorporate the first edition of the game as an expansion, so we didn’t have to get rid of that. This was it… this would get MANSIONS OF MADNESS on our table more often. MANSIONS OF MADNESS was getting a second edition and this one came with an app which would run the game for us. Lo and behold… not long after we played MANSIONS OF MADNESS 1 st edition, I came across an announcement on Twitter. The new app for DESCENT fixed that problem for us, which made it a lot more enjoyable. One on one, we either prefer co-op or the type of game where you really don’t have to attack your opponent. It had the same issue as DESCENT… we don’t like playing player versus player unless we are with a group. We liked the game, but it was still not something that we would play with just the two of us. It took four years to get a volunteer to play this part, and we finally got it to the table… The rulebook was daunting, and no one wanted to be the player who controlled the monsters. ![]() It took, I believe, about four years before we finally played it. MANSIONS OF MADNESS 1st edition was that game for us. ![]() They sit on our shelves, collecting dust and give us that gnawing feeling of guilt that comes from spending money on something we don’t even use. ![]() Sometimes we buy games that simply don’t make it to the table.

If you went up in the elevator, press the white button to your left. If you can't do it that quickly, don't turn the gas completly off. Wait until the thumping sound stops, then turn the wheel down (red icon), and QUICKLY get out of the house and into the tree to the right of it (see library map for location) before the "elevator" in the tree goes underground. Turn around and light the pilot light below the boiler. Open the safe, get the match, and light it with the matchbox. Tree: Go to the wooden house, and enter the combination for the safe next to the door (7,2,4). Go to the pillars at the mall, and click the appropriate symbols (leaf, snake, and bug). Set each of the dates from the clue (10:04AM, 5:46AM, and 6:57 PM), and map the constellation shown to one of the constellations in the Stoneship book. Ship: Go to the planetarium, turn the lights off (the switch is next to the door), sit down on the chair, and click the Control Panel. If you rotated the tower correctly, the ladder with the "book" on it should show you where the book is hidden, while the ladder with the "key" should lead you to the clue to the puzzle that lets you get the book. Go to the elevator, close the door, and press the button to go into the tower. The paintings next to the bookcase open and close the secret passageway behind it. There are 4 "red" positions, each one of them corresponding to where one of the 4 available link books is hidden (ship, giant tree, gears, spaceship). Grab the tower and rotate it until it flashes red, then stop. Each of the marker switches in the island lights one specific group of buildings in the map. Jot down any interesting diagrams from the others on your notebook. You can ignore the book with the weird squares in it, you'll deal with it later. Read the 4 legible books in the bookcase. Give the blue and red pages to the corresponding books. In the library, each wall contains interesting items. Turn back to the projector, push the button, and watch the man's message to Catherine.

For any Lemonheads fan this is a fine collection of songs, though this isn't a proper "official" release, but kind of a odds and ends disc of goodies.Ġ2. Some of these songs made it onto b-sides, while others were exclusive to this release. Just before their longest hiatus from 1998-2004, a promo CD available only through their fan club was released consisting of covers, live tracks and acoustic versions of Lemonheads songs. Because of these constant changes to the line-up, the band has taken a few hiatus and rumours of their impending breakup are understandable, but with these breaks Dando has continued to perform live, then he eventually records another Lemonheads record. The Lemonheads are a band that have been around since 1986 with various incarnations and line-ups with the only constant being Evan Dando. ![]() The feeling was mutual as I have some live recordings with Kweller doing Lemonheads covers in concert. Jeff Tweedy, Juliana Hatfield and the band Guster also took notice and asked Ben to open for them. It was one of his ep's, Freak Out, It's Ben Kweller, that caught the attention of Dando and he invited him on tour with him. One person that was of great influence in Ben Kweller's solo career was Evan Dando from the Lemonheads.
