Mansions of Madness

Product Description

Mansions of Madness is a macabre board game of horror, insanity and mystery for 2-5 players. Gather your fellow investigators and unravel the dark mysteries within before it's too late. Based on the horror fiction of master writer H.P. Lovecraft, Mansions of Madness creates an engrossing new narrative every time you play. Each game takes place within a pre-designed story that provides players with a unique map and several combinations of plot threads. These threads affect the monsters that investigators may encounter, the clues they need to find and which climactic story ending they will ultimately experience. One player takes on the role of the keeper, controlling the monsters and other malicious powers within the story. The other players take on the role of investigators, searching for answers while struggling to survive with their minds intact. Both the engaging plot and the stunning components will draw you in to a world of cosmic horror. The beautifully rendered modular map tiles show every intricate feature of the rooms you'll search and the monster figures represent the otherworldly forces of evil in horrific detail. The bases for each monster figure even have slots into which you can insert that monster's token, displaying only the pertinent statistics. All together, the thirty-two included figures, over 300 cards, over 200 tokens and markers and nearly 70 puzzle tiles,will help immerse you in a sanity-bending story of terrifying mystery. Do you dare enter the Mansions of Madness?

15" Standard Wooden Chess Set

I received this chess set as a gift, and I love it! The board and pieces have been constructed very well of solid wood that should prove to be very durable. A feature not found with similar sets is that the board doubles as a case for the pieces which are actually held in place individually so they don't bounce around and get chipped. This is an excellent gift idea for any chess player or anyone who wants to learn!

Nintendo Monopoly Game Collector's Edition

This game great fun for the family. It teaches the importance of waiting for the right opportunity spend your cash instead of just blowing it away. Now, Monopoly has always been a fun game, even when I was growing up as a kid. But to play as my favorite Nintendo characters is great. I think this game is Educational about the real world! It teaches how to count out the money to pay for property or rent. Great buy ! I think every family should have at least one monopoly game in their homes.

Memoir '44

I've been playing hundreds of wargames for over 35 years and this game is one of the best I've come across. My 13-year old daughter likes it too (she beats me regularly), and even my 20-something sons enjoyed playing. Memoir'44 has some subtle but effective wargaming tactics to it in the card play and movement of the units. The terrain pieces determine "kill zones" for units in overwatch and "sanctuaries" for spent units. My daughter caught on very fast and this is a wargame for people that would never play a complicated wargame like "Command Decision", but it still gives the grognard the "feel" of a real wargame. The games play out quickly also for time-contrained individuals. Up to 4 can play with one game, but for 4-6 players on two teams, buy 2 games and put them together for real command and control experiences. The game comes with over a dozen historical scenarios and many more are avaailable on the "Days of Wonder" website. The Memoir '44 website supports additional scenarios, FAQ, and player interaction. Highly Recommended. High replay value. There are many small plastic pieces and cardboard terrain pieces so small children should be monitored (as always).

Wrath of Ashardalon: A D&D Boardgame

its amazing, actually. Wrath of Ashardalon has taken the basic themes and source material of the new edition of Dungeons and Dragons and distilled it into *something better*. not only is this a must own gem of a board game, i'd even say its the best thing Wizards of the Coast has released in years. highest recommendation.

(no dungeons and dragons experience necessary to enjoy this game.) also, this is fully playable as a solo experience.

Quarriors Dice Building Game

Quarriors is a superb game. I am a huge board game geek, but I'm not good at sitting through those 3 hour games. But quarriors is the exact opposite. It is quick paced and changes every play. No play is the same which makes this game lots of fun to play over and over. I've owned this game for about a month and my friends and I have probably played it 10 different times and we still love it. Quarriors adds an aspect of luck that just can't be provided by deck building games. Absolutely fantastic. I can't wait til the expansion comes out

Rich Dad Cashflow 101 board game (with CD's)

This game is very educational. It allows someone to understand the Real Estate World and how to create a passive income. I do wish that it were broken down so that a new person to Real Estate would understand that there are closing costs, an actual mortgage that is set up along with the deal, and some way of paying off each property as it is acquired so as to earn more passive income.

Dominion: Big Box

After reading reviews about the quality of the product, I got a little nervous. But tonight my Amazon shipment came in and the game set was great! I had to make sure I had the card marker inserts facing the right direction but all cards fit nicely. It's true that randomizer card slot doesn't fit all cards but after I took out victory and money cards, everything fit. I'm happy with the quality and price of this product.

Catan: Seafarers Game Expansion

I found this expansion to be a great addition to the Settlers series. It adds much game play value to the original base game (Settlers of Catan) and it allows for even more creativity in creation of your own game maps.

Durability-wise, this expansion is the same as the other settlers games--the board pieces are on nice quality cardboard and the pieces are made of painted wood. The box this expansion comes in is of very high quality as well.

Again, this game has lots of little pieces so be aware of that (though they do all come with storage baggies, and everything fits nicely and securely in the box.

Make sure that you have the 4th edition of the original expansion set, as this one is incompatible with the 3rd edition. If you have the 3rd edition you need to purchase the 3rd edition of Seafarers as well.

7 Wonders Game

I'm very satisfied with this game so far. I've played probably 20 times so far, and i cant get enough. I have played with 2,3,4,5 and 6 players and the game ran beautifully with each set of players. I even played this game with my parents (mid 50s) and they were able to grasp the main concepts. The 2-player variant is surprisingly seamless, it uses a phantom 3rd player *groan* and usually i hate having that but since the third player has so much effect on each player's strategy, it works out very well. I'm continuously surprised at how well balanced the game is, with most scores having a <10 point spread, unless something crazy happens. So far, everyone I've played with just loves it! Get this game!

Carcassonne Big Box 3

Took a chance and purchased the Big Box rather than the stand-alone game as previous research on the game (both written and video reviews) convinced me it would be a game our family would enjoy, so why not save some money on the expansions? This has turned out to be a prescient decision as, after playing it about a dozen times, we've already added the Inns and Cathedrals expansion to mix things up a bit.

Our family enjoys the game for a number of reasons:

1. The basic game was easy to learn even for our seven year old and the Inns and Cathedrals expansion did not add any great complexity.
2. Quick to play (average time between 30 and 45 minutes) so it fits into our weekly boardgame rotation.
3. A good mix of planning and randomness that gives our seven year old a solid chance to win. By comparison, we also regularly play Ticket to Ride. Ticket has a bit more emphasis on planning than randomness and, as a result, our seven-year old is not nearly as successful (while still enjoying it).

Overall, an enjoyable addition to our family's board game collection.

A Game of Thrones: The Board Game Second Edition

I absolutely love this board game. I am a huge fan of the series and was given this as a Christmas present. I played with my family, none of whom are familiar with the "Song of Ice and Fire" franchise. Still, everyone had a great time! The game is extremely complex but, that complexity makes forming and carrying out strategies even more enjoyable. We played 3 times in 3 days and each time, it went a good deal faster.

Small World

My husband and I bought this on a whim - we'd gone to our local game store to pick up Settler's Of Catan because we'd played that recently with friends and liked it. However, this caught our eye, and we bought it instead! I was drawn the cover art, I'll admit!
We brought it to a friend's place to play after dinner. It took a while to get a hang of the way the game is supposed to work and the dynamics of each round, but after a few turns, we were able to get it all figured out.
I really liked all aspects of this game - the 'Risk' aspect of trying to take over the map, the fantasy aspect of the characters, and the unique way the game's races are developed. Every game you play will be different due to how things are set up!
My only complaint is with the tray the Race Tokens are stored in... it was pretty hard for me (who has small fingers, even) to get the tokens in and out of the little squares they are supposed to go in. Especially when some were in use and the remaining ones would fall forward.
Overall, I'm really happy that we got this game, I'm looking forward to sharing it with other people!
