The goal
As a team, find out what is happening in the scenario and complete the objective the app finally reveals.
How it plays
- 1This is the second edition and needs the free app. Choose a scenario and the app tells you how to lay out the map and what can be investigated, narrates the story and runs the monsters.
- 2Investigator phase: each investigator takes 2 actions, such as moving up to two spaces, exploring a new room, searching, interacting with a person or object, attacking a monster, or trading. Tap the matching token in the app to carry it out.
- 3For a test, roll as many dice as the skill's value and count successes. Clue tokens can turn an investigation result into a success.
- 4Mythos phase: the app triggers events, monsters move and attack, and investigators who can see a monster test against horror.
- 5Damage and Horror cards are kept face down in front of you. Damage equal to your health makes you Wounded, and horror equal to your sanity makes you Insane, which gives you a secret condition only you know.
How you win
Complete the final objective the app gives and the team wins. Take too long and the story turns against you; once an investigator is eliminated the others have very little time left to finish, or everyone loses.
First time?
- Don't search every corner; the app's clock never stops.
- When you go Insane, read your secret condition carefully: it may change how you win.
