I have yet to win a single game of Mansions of Madness. I believe this was the 4th try!
Stripped this down to the base game, grabbed the IPAD, after some organizing,, and hauled down to Punchboard to play with Steve, Chris, and a guy I knew back in 2014 (from West Coast), Chad.
Everything started off great, and the guys got into it immediately.
Then, as this game goes, as time moves on, the wheels start to fall off.
Monsters, injuries, insanity, puzzles and all the rest.
The big problem: we never read our character cards, and forgot we had special abilities. This could have changed things.
We tried to catch up on those benefits later on, but it was too late.
Chris went insane, and we'd be unable to win if there were ANY search tokens left on the board. Well, there were.
And we missed a horror check for Chad, and couldn't back up. And a slew of other things were missed.
In the end, Chris managed to escape, but we lost due to there being search tokens left.
Some day I will win a damn game of this!
This was the first mission, attempted for the second time.
