The start of my full playthrough of the Cycle of Eternity scenario (the shortest and easiest!) of the new second edition of Mansions of Madness. You can think of this as a solo playthrough or a two player one since they play exactly the same! If you'd like to get straight to the story, it's 4:23, and to go straight to the first turn it's 8:42.
NOTE: This is the first scenario of the game and while it will be a little different every time, the broad strokes of the story are the same so there are some spoilers.

Fantastic game. It is, however, very easy to forget about your items when playing. At 17:15, Wendy should have gotten all 4 of her Will dice because she has the Holy Cross item, which negates the penalty imposed by the check. Also, at 30:50 the Hunting Horror would not have moved to attack Wendy, because she was not in range, which is not counted through doors. The monster would have stayed in place and attacked William. At 31:28 the Cultist was, in fact, in range of Wendy, and was adjacent to her, as the app's instructions said, so the Cultist should have attacked her.
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for being so comprehensive and showing all parts of it as if we were really there. Thanks to seeing it fully including the app, I am much closer to buying this game. First, I will try to find a meet-up group who plays this game, and thanks to your video I will be able to have my first play with a great understanding of the game, thank you!
Weird that RUclips decided to recommend me this video.
But Im glad that they did.
This game look so cool.
I rented this tonight, played through the same scenario. What a blast! Looking forward to playing the others. Definitely gonna buy it.
Thanks a lot for these three playthrough video's, it helped a lot to understand the game better.
Me and my girlfriend did our first playthrough passed sunday and we seemed to have overlooked a lot of things, but now all those parts are a lot clearer!
lol creative rolling practices at 18:50 :D Glad I'm not the only one!
16:58 from the rules: "If multiple investigators would resolve a horror check against the same monster, those investigators all resolve the same horror check.", so you only need to do one horror check in the app, and all characters will make their own rolls. Makes sense since they're all witnessing the same horror :)
8:53 BEAKFAST
Yay! I am so excited for this.
Thank you for mentioning that the app is available on Steam. I did not realize that and thought I would have to run it on my Android phone, which is not the best platform for it.
So far it's living up to the excitement for me :D
It sounds like Steam is the platform that gets updates the fastest which is nice for this too, I can't imagine getting 5 hours into the huge scenario and the app crashing! Although in playing the first scenario a few times I haven't come across any crashes myself yet.
I am glad to hear it is living up to the excitement for you. I hope it does the same for me!
Good job with this play through. A very easy to follow explanation of how to do this.
Thanks Mark, glad you liked it!
Thank you so much this is the best run down of this game I have seen, and get the rules right.
13:41
is that CAThulhu threatening to destroy your world before it has even begun?
Thanks for the video. It helped clear up a few questions I had. Much appreciation
18:48 only one success, you didn't throw the other success - dice.
Wow I just grabbed the success! :) Noted up now
Lol I saw that too
perfect play through ! you very good about a, rules and same time don't forget narrative aspect of the game. that how you should play EH AH and MOM. thanks you, hope we will see some more scenarios of this brilliant game !
+Oleg Volobujev thanks Oleg! I'm really pleased with how it ended on the narrative side :D This play through was particularly fun so I'm hoping to do another scenario at some point!
+slickerdrips I would like to see Escape from Insmaunt Quest . thank you
+Oleg Volobujev It will be a couple of weeks until I'm back and filming but that will be one of the first I do :)
right a the end at 31:21 - are you sure it was played correctly? Why did you first move the cultist and then select that the cultist can not move attack? The app said to move and attack the adjacent investigator - the culltist moved and was in range/adjacent to an investigator....
Great video, although I don't think you're doing the Horror Check correctly against multiple investigators (when they're all on the same space as the monster). They should all check against the same Horror Check not have a different Horror Check each.
According to the Rule Reference booklet: "If multiple investigators would resolve a horror check against the same monster, those investigators all resolve the same horror check."
+Mark Stoneham yup that's right, when I can get to a PC I'll add a note :) on the plus side the videos show off a bigger variety of horror checks from the mistake!
This is true. :)
Great play through. I like the concept of this game. The iPad app is what all games should do if they have an iPad app to go along with it. Do all of the work for you as you play.
Awesome vid man I was on the fence about this game because I didn't like that you need to use the app (like Xcom which I thought was beyond awful). After seeing your vid I changed my mindn it' looks really cool. Dumb Question: Is it the same game each time or will it spawn different rooms / enemies when you replay it?
As far as I know, the main plot of the scenario will be the same every time, but there are multiple layouts for the mansions (even more if you buy the extra tile packs) and the items and enemies can be different each time
Thanks for the response!
when your in the dining are you allowed to move into the kitchen which is separated by a solid yellow line and a broken yellow line... I didn't think you could move through those line types...
It's been almost 4 years since I played the 1st edition. Is it just me or were a lot of the rules simpler for the 1st edition? It seemed like once the host had the general rules down on running the game, the investigator players really didn't have many complex rules to memorize and it could be very casual friendly. This video makes the 2nd edition seem like it's Eldritch Horror levels of complexity.
Great Video. Keep up the good work.!!
Thanks Christian, I'll try!
Great video
Thanks for sharing
I am not familiar with this game, each scenario if played multiple times, each time will be with different stories and events? Or it will be the same?
+Board Games world Thank you! I can only speak for the first scenario so far, and the main plot points of the story there will be the same each time but the layout of the mansion and some of the events that happen will be a bit different. I'm told that other scenarios vary more than this one, and I'm looking forward to playing those :)
Its the same every time. You get different monster spawns and sometimes different tiles, but the story itself is identical, unlike first edition.
great video
The app helps make the game soloable, which is always a plus. My biggest concern is what will happen to this edition when Fantasy Flight Games comes out with the inevitable third edition. This game is not cheap - the core game retails for almost $100. If the game is dependent on the app, it appears owners will be stuck with an obsolete game when FFG stops supporting it.
TarotMage well, they kinda integrated the first edition in this one , you can use old parts in this game as well. As far as supporting the app, wouldn't worry aboutit , we're still able to play videogames of the early 80's , so in the worst case, there'll always be a way, and it's not like ffg is going to end in the near future, ( with ffg interactive) , so I'm pretty sure we'll be able to enjoy this game for many years
did you forget a horror check when your second player entered the dining room? if i remember correctly, you have to run a horror check each time a character enters the same tile as a monster (at least in 1st ed)
+sendep7 I think that must have changed for the new version, you have to do an evade check when leaving a space with a monster or interacting with anything on the same space as it, but the horror checks are just once a round in the Mythos phase (handled by the app)
Vary nice video. Now I have a better view of the game.
My impression is that there is a bit to much focus on the App to the point of this game not needing to be a board game.
+TheMadwizz thank you! I'm glad the video helped make your mind up, even if it was to dissuade you from the game :)
The app is awesome trust me
Looks an interesting game. What's the maximum number of players? Do you think this game worth it for just 2 people?
It plays up to 5, I've only played with 2 and it's been great - I think the app scales the monsters based on the number of players
I'm still not sure if I buy this or Kemet for 2 players :v dat indecision
@@luisgabriel5737 This is a very old comment, but I have and love both games, and for two players I highly recommend this. One or two is a very good player count for this, as there is a lot of down time in between turns, and anyone not interested in the narrative will be falling asleep and checking their phone. Kemet is also a great game, but it starts to get good at three and really shines at five players in my opinion.
they claim to have added some randomness for replayability but seriously, there isn't much replay value, in my opinion, except for some of the harder scenarios when the replay is because you haven't beat it yet.
+SpectreTheHorseman according to folks on BGG there are 4 different ways the 1st scenario can go (although admittedly not that different) but I must have been unlucky because I've only ever seen the exact same layout! I think there's one scenario where the culprit is different every time
I have the 2nd edition also yet when I start this scenario it has me starting with different tiles? Has me starting with a corridor and a bathroom, any idea why mine is not starting in the foyer like yours?
I think there are 3 or 4 different layouts for each scenario - broadly the story is the same but the monsters/rooms/items might shift around a bit
the music was Kevin MacLeod ~ Awkward Meeting
"Accompanied by an app that is required" ... nope - That rules that game out :( Hate those apps
Fair enough, the first edition didn’t need an app but a player had to be the keeper playing against the investigators, the app here handles the enemy side of things
I've had a few crashes and glitches in the app. Will have to try it on Steam.
+Brittany Marie Little I haven't had any yet but I've only done the first scenario, was it far into the game? Apparently there's another patch coming later this week
+slickerdrips First scenario, pretty early on: tiles were labeled incorrectly on the app when told what to put down. I was able to figure it out by looking at the tile and matching it to what it really was. Game doesn't save at all, so I had to start over, and then the monsters awareness and horror rating was completely different than what the token says on my monster. App showed Priest of Dragon with an awareness of 10 when he's really a 4. Maybe I missed something, but I think it's just a few things they'll figure out after a bit.
Wow that's quite a lot! It's made me a little wary of the longer scenarios in case of a crash two hours into a game, but it seems they're pushing out the updates quite quickly
+slickerdrips Same here! I'm only playing the first scenario until I see some improvement so that I can enjoy the others later! Also, still learning the rules.
Looking for a video how to play the game on my Roku tv..
Sorry, I've never used one
This game seems awfully similar to dungeons and dragons, with the playing pieces of both players and monsters, dungeons/mansions that you explore and discover things, a story teller.
so the app is an absolute must in the 2nd ed?
Yup, it's required for the game
Why does he need two successes at 16:45?
Since the check said to suffer 2 damage but that agility negates, he was getting a second success to ensure that William suffered no damage at all. If he hadn't spent the clue token to convert the investigation result into a success, then William would have had to suffer 1 damage.
so far I've used 4 miniatures and 3 of them wouldn't stay.
Can you play the app on the pc?
It's available through Steam :)
cool, ty :)
Also, the miniatures are terrible, most don't even stay in their stands.
+SpectreTheHorseman I have a few loose ones too, I might have to resort to some glue!
that's a pretty bad track record.
I'm disappointed with this. It seems just like an old pc adventure game from the late 90's - 00's. Except that there's a board where you can replicate the game and dice to determine outcome. I thought it would be more inventive and more board driven. Thanks very much for doing this video, though. Much appreciated.
Great review..made not to buy it... It is always useful. Too clunky unfortunately, look at the app.. Look at the board.. Look at the app.. Look at the box.. Add the tile, look at the app...
