The insanity is back! Fantasy Flight Games brings out Mansions of Madness (Second Edition), the app-driven horror board game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

Like the original Mansions of Madness, this second edition sends you to the dark alleyways of Arkham, through a series of thrilling scenarios, in which you must explore unpredictable maps haunted by bloodthirsty monsters, in order to solve intricate puzzles.

The app enables you to play a fully cooperative game, without the need for a Keeper player and it, also, supports single-player games. Throughout every game, it generates an entirely unique map, full of different items to use, monsters to fight and events to endure. The map is not visible from the start of the game, but instead every part of it is revealed as you explore further.

There are fearsome monsters pursuing you through the claustrophobic scenarios, as you search for answers to Arkham’s mysteries. Moreover, there are eight keen investigators to choose from with unique skills and abilities, helping you to escape a terrible fate.

If you are veteran investigators of Mansions of Madness and you own investigator minis, monster figures and map tiles from the first edition of the game, you can incorporate them into the adventures of the second edition. You may pair the new cards with your existing figures, so as to adjust your investigative team in the second edition.

Step into the madness one more time and try to maintain your sanity in this hair-rising game experience.

Mansions of Madness (Second Edition) will be available on Thursday, August 4.
