Las Mansiones de la Locura: Segunda Edición

One of the best dungeon crawlers I have ever played as it's focused more on the solving of puzzles and mysteries in addition to a great app that randomizes a lot of things. This leads to a great atmosphere as there are no physical or digital tracks that tells you how close to danger you are, and you build the "dungeons" while you play to not give anything away at the start. Sold it as I've played through it all and it takes quite a lot of space. Also, outside of the puzzles, the spellcasting mechanic and procedural map I found the combat itself to be a little bit too simple. The replayability is low in my view even though you can play different investigators and that the app randomizes the map and items. I prefer playing Arkham Horror 2nd edition over MoM2 and AHLCG as it gives me more of the roleplay feel without having a DM (just like MoM2 and AHLCG), but it's more of a sandbox that plays fast even with more players.

1 partida. Te cuentan una historia y tienes que buscar pistas, hablar con gente, explorar localizaciones, etc, para conseguir la misión que se te encomienda. El formato del de ir avanzando de una habitación a otra recuerda a los juegos de mazmorras, aunque aquí no se trata de ir matando a todo lo que te encuentres por el camino. Se requiere del uso de una aplicación (preferiblemente en un tablet), que te irá contando lo que va sucediendo, los personajes que aparecen y demás. Le da mucha ambientación y simplifica el trabajo al que explica el juego. Aunque pone de 2 a 3 horas de duración, la verdad es que ni se cuánto tardamos en terminar la partida, porque estás tan puesto en la misión y lograr escapar de los enemigos, que no se hace para nada pesado. Nos gustó mucho. Lo malo es que son misiones y tienes tan solo unas pocas... creo que 5 (como Las leyendas de Andror, aunque con el Andor es fácil obtener más de gente que las elabora y aquí tienes que pagarlas a través de la aplicación).

It's difficult to overstate how much I've enjoyed this game with my friends, with all its expansions. It's a product of its time, and really shines with the app that narrates the story. Unfortunately as more time passes between the release of the game and the current year, the more likely that the app will disappear from android or iPhone. Fun fact that added to our enjoyment: In Spanish, the voice actor for the narrator is the same person that voices Admiral Adama from Battlestar Galactica, the remake. It felt very special.
