Mansions of Madness (2nd Edition)

Product Review (submitted on December 30, 2016):

I played the first edition and loved it; needing someone to be the Keeper was never an issue as I was always the GM in any roleplaying game we played and I enjoy the position, I actually like knowing the full story and watching it unfold as the players explore the setting. My main beef with the second edition is the fact that you CANNOT play the game without the app - maybe my group is excessively old school but although we all have plenty of tech at our disposal when we get together to game we don't want to have to rely on an app to play a boardgame. Otherwise this is standard Fantasy Flight stuff, which is to say excellent components and game elements. Overall though I prefer the first edition and that is solely due to the requirement of the app to play the second edition.
