For those with the opinion that 'This is a video game, not for me.', I was one of you...UNTIL I played it at Pax West (Prime) 2 days ago. The app does nothing but add to the board game, and does not remove the feeling of playing a board game; no-more then passing around a rule book would. It made it a heck of a lot more enjoyable, especially since you can now play cooperatively with your friends, instead of one of you being stuck with the 2 hour setup, then having a totally adversarial relationship while trying to have fun. If you divide the map pieces and cards among the players, and have them search/place game pieces while the person currently holding the app reads the narrative, then the game proceeds extremely well; to the point of being smooth in transition to game plot and the mood (read immersion) is never lost. Also, with those of us with any of the 1st ed. games or expansions, they included the conversion kit RIGHT IN THE BOX, so no need to buy something separate to start enjoying your prior stuff. I highly recommend you try the game, at the very least, before rendering an opinion on how it would/should play. Take it for what it's worth, but I think you're missing out on a huge upgrade to the game, not the 'downfall of fantasy fllight games'.

sir im from philippines and Thank you so much for making this video. English is not our first language so it gives us a hard time understanding the rulebook. However by watching this video of yours it makes us understand the rules and the mechanics of the game so much easier. Today is 2022 , this video was uploaded 2016 and it still helps Newbies like me to understand and play the game easier. We bought this game 2 weeks ago and finally we can really enjoy to play this game later after we finish watching your videos. Thank you so much !

Fully read some of those attack encounters, on more than one occasion it said to check strength, needing 2 results, and if you pass you deal the weapons damage PLUS the test results! You shorted yourself on some damage a few times.

Great vid as usual. Only little thing i noticed is the first horror check. If multiple investigators would resolve a horror check against the same monster, those investigators all resolve the same horror check. (p. 10). I think Agatha would not have had to use a different check.

@scalz311 8 жыл бұрын
Also, All Damage and Horror are claimed faceup unless the effect causing the Damage or Horror specifies otherwise. (p. 7)

Around 19:15...why wasn't Father Mateo able to check the bookshelf after the evade but Agatha was? How come Agatha didn't have to evade the hunter but instead passed right through to the section of the room with the bookshelf?

At 28:14 you flip a damage card face up and then facedown. later could you choose it again? or should damage cards be randomly chosen for these purposes?
@DriveThruReview
@DriveThruReview 8 жыл бұрын
It should be random. I think it was for a different character the second time if I recall... or it was a physical the first time and mental the second... Just a coincidence. (iirc)

Great. Looking forward to some closing thoughts on this. Compared to Descent Road to Legend, this seems like it has a lot more interaction directly in the app, and that worries me a little (monster damage is tracked in app, and a lot of text and clickable items). Am I wrong in this? Or is the "app vs board" balance the same as in Road to Legend?
@DriveThruReview
@DriveThruReview 8 жыл бұрын
It's heavier "app" in Mansions. There's more narrative that comes out of it, and yes. You track damage and special items in it as well.

Noticed that when you attack it's often "weapon damage plus your test result". So, for example, if you used the crowbar and it demanded 2 successes, wouldn't you cause 2+2 damage?

Given that the 1st edition is selectable in the app, does it mean that it is possible to use the app just with it? (without purchasing the 2nd ed.)? No upgrade kit?

Is there any need to actually set the physical board up or can it just viewed using the app without the board? kinda seems like its pointless setting the board up....
@DriveThruReview
@DriveThruReview 8 жыл бұрын
Definitely. You've got the cards and monster locations and managing the position of your investigators and the board itself provides visual clues to the mysteries etc...

Nice Runthrough but as for the game, I dont think this is for me. I feel it's more a video game and If I wanted to play computer games I would look elsewhere. I personally want a break from computers games this is why I play boardgames. I do however feel it's a good game but on a selfish note,i hope this is not the future for boardgames😉😎☺
