![]() 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.
