Mansions of Madness: Second Edition – Streets of Arkham: Expansion

Investigators probe disturbing secrets that spill out into Arkham's streets, from Miskatonic's campus to speakeasies and storefronts. The expansion adds three new app-driven scenarios, new mythos events, a puzzle, new tiles, monsters, and four investigators. It introduces Elixir cards and Improvement tokens that provide new ways to modify characters and encounters while using the core digital campaign framework.

Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

How do I set up the Streets of Arkham expansion?

Shuffle the Elixir deck and place it faceup in the central play area. Add Improvement tokens to the general token pool, and add the remaining expansion components to their corresponding decks or pools. (Rulebook, p. 2)

Can I look at the back of an Elixir whenever I want?

No. You may look at an Elixir’s back only when an effect specifically instructs you to flip it; then resolve the back’s effects immediately. (Rulebook, p. 2)

Can I trade or drop a facedown Elixir?

No. Faceup Elixirs are possessions and may be dropped, picked up, or traded, but facedown Elixirs are not possessions and cannot be handled this way. (Rulebook, p. 2)

Can I improve the same skill more than once?

No. An Improvement increases the corresponding skill’s printed value by 1, but a skill cannot be improved more than once. Improvements are not possessions and normally cannot be dropped or traded. (Rulebook, p. 2)

How do I move pieces in a tower puzzle, and when is it solved?

During a puzzle step, move only the top piece from any one of the three columns to the top of another column. The puzzle is solved when all pieces are in the correct positions in one column, with the largest piece at the bottom and the smallest at the top. (Rulebook, p. 3)
