I can’t thank you enough for making these videos. When I got the 2nd edition two years ago I almost gave up on it because (to me, being very green to gaming) it was ALOT to learn. I’ve since came to your channel for several other board games because these tutorials are done so flawlessly!!! I’m happy to say that I completed my 2nd edition mansions of madness collection and when I made my KZbin video on it without hesitation I had to link your video as I could never do as great a job as you’ve done! Thanks again!!

My experience of mansions of madness : 1.) You set the stage, set the mood and setup the tiles 2.) You get involved in the plot and try to figure out the best strategy to complete the mission 3.) Monsters appear and you die

Yep just finished my first game and monsters showed up and I literally had no way to prevent them from killing one of my characters. Her worst ability was speed and if she tried to evade it used speed if she tried to attack it used speed and if she tried to attack it used speed. That just felt like bs honestly. No skill there just luck. The monster literally spawned on her with no warning and no way to prepare

I am very glad to see both the actual release of the second edition, and you're How To Play video. Ever since stumbling upon your play through of the first edition last years, I've been excited to try the game for myself. However the complexity of the original, along with the Keeper player requirement, always kept my group from taking the plunge. The new edition is a wonderful direction for players like myself, and I hope that these changes won't prevent you from gaining as much enjoyment from this new edition as you did from the first.

Paul Simister Me too. Played two games and lost both miserably. The biggest problem of the game as I see it now is longevity. Replaying same scenarios is not that fun. Even though the game randomizes houses and things you can still guess what the outcome of some of your actions will be and that kind of ruins the excitement as it removes some of the unknown factor.

So here is a question my wife, friends and I can't answer. When the mythos event says "affects the player with the most will" but we have the same amount, who does it apply to? Is this one of the cases where we can decide who or is it to us both? Bought this game because of you a we are loving it. Keep up the awesome work! You're my go to guy for board games.

Hi Rodney, I have a few questions about the rules and I hope you know the answers. -May I cast a spell that doesn't include the word "action" whenever I want or am I limmited to a phase (incestigator's or mythos phase)? -When the "feed the mind spell" says that investigators within range are focused does this mean that they can change the clue tokens to success only in investigator's phase or to the mythos phase too? Does this spell counts in darkness or not? -When an investigator and a monster are in a room with a darkness token could the investigator attack the monster with a ranged weapon? Is there any difference if the investigator was outsice the room with the monster and the darkness token? -About the horror check, when an investigator is in range but there is no LOS with the monster - let's say the monster is in a room and the investigator is in a hallway 1 space away from the door- does the investigator has to make a horror check or not?
@WatchItPlayed

1) Do you have an example spell in mind? If it doesn't say Action, it will typically give an indication of when it can be used. 2) The effect applies anytime you would roll dice. 3) Darkness does not affect attacking a monster in your room. If you are outside the room, you can't attack with a ranged weapon, as you can't attack through doors. 4) No.
@atzanetatos
@atzanetatos 8 жыл бұрын
For start I can't thank you enough for your immediate respone. Now as an example of a spell not having the word "action" I could say the "feed the mind" spell. It doesn't mention when you are supposed to cast it so could it be when another invastigator is performing his actions? Could it be right at the start of mythos phase in order to impove the test to come or before the horror checks? As far as the darkness conserned, when a monster is inside a room with darkness and the investigator in front of room's door but in another room and 2 spaces away from the monster (straight or diagonally) could he fire his firearm if he has no light source with him?
@WatchItPlayed
@WatchItPlayed 8 жыл бұрын
The Feed The Mind spell effect starts with the word "Action". That means you can only do it on your turn, as an action. In your darkness example, the darkness doesn't factor in, because if they are in different rooms, they are not in range of each other. You can't shoot through doors (even ones you've already explored though. Just pretend that the characters always close the door when they enter and exit a room, if that helps). That said, darkness doesn't impact weapons.

5 minutes in: "And that's the setup." Me: "Sold!" I remember extremly long setups from 1st edition. The game didn't hit the table as much just because of that. Here's hoping FFG brings enough copies to Essen, so I can try and buy one.

If you as game master prepare the scenario, you could even setup it in up to 10 minutes. You have to build your item stacks and order them already, so that you only have to place them after setting up the map. While doing this, the investigators can choose their characters. This is how I always did it. So at least you have to decide which scenario you are going to play and this only works for one scenario per session. But since our sessions most times last 2-4 hours, that should be alright.

@@WatchItPlayed hi! we played it for the first time last weekend and everyone had a blast! (even though we lost). Anyway, here are some questions that popped up, and i was hoping you could help me out: 1. Do investigators/monsters suffer damage when Fire is introduced in their space during Mythos phase? 2. Does Fire destroy barricades on barricaded doors? 3. Do we need to be in the same space when speaking with Non-playable characters? 4. During mythos, when there is no investigator within range, and the monster is supposed to move to closest investigator within range, will the monster forfeit movement? Or will it move towards the nearest investigator (even if the investigator is on a separate room)? 5. Does Fire spread through water?
@WatchItPlayed
@WatchItPlayed 3 жыл бұрын
@@the.nikkoman 1. Fire damage is triggered at specific times. Here's what you'll want (from the Rules Reference document, be sure to check this, as it's a handy place to go when playing if you need a quick reminder): "Whenever an investigator moves into a space containing Fire, he suffers one facedown Damage. After an investigator in a space containing Fire performs an action other than the move action, if there is Fire in his space, he suffers one facedown Damage. Whenever an investigator forfeits an action in a space containing Fire, he suffers one facedown Damage." 2. No. 3. Yes. 4. It still moves towards the nearest, even if the nearest is in a separate room or not "visible" to them. 5. There are no rules that I can see that say fire can't enter a water space.

@@WatchItPlayed wow! Thanks for taking the time to answer the inquiries!! 1. So I guess short answer is "No" then since it's the fire that moved into the investigator's space during Mythos Phase and is not activated yet since no action is taken. 2. Got it 3. Got it. I read somewhere that it can be interpreted as not making too much noise to avoid monsters, or if there are many NPC's around, you need to go near the person you're talking to. 4. Yeah, me too. I guess it's up to the players and their interpretation. We prefer not to spread fire to the water as part of the immersion. Again, thank you for your time!

Question! When it comes to horror checks, what do you mean by "in range"? Also, it says things like affecting playing with highest damage, but what if nobody has any damage?
@WatchItPlayed
@WatchItPlayed 6 жыл бұрын
Hey Blargle, you'll find range defined here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2PHpKRofNiAidUm17s - range is a generic term in this game that doesn't just apply to attacking. It means anything within 3 spaces (but not through doors/walls). In a case where no one has any damage, then the players are "tied" for highest damage (0 each) and you would resolve ties as described (players choose).

Hey, Rodney. You said, that fire cannot spread through solid walls. But reading the Rules Reference, I thought it can. The rules for "Fire" say: ... • If one or more spaces contain Fire, place one Fire token in a space adjacent to a space that contains Fire. ... And the rules for "Adjacent" say: ... Two spaces are adjacent if they share a border, a door, an impassable border, or a wall. Or have I missed a rule that says something different?
@WatchItPlayed

A good question! The spaces are adjacent but "Effects" that "affect adjacent" spaces cannot affect spaces adjacent through walls unless an effect specifically allows it, and fire does not specifically allow it.
