Iello IEL51374 Mountains of Madness Board Game, Multicolour

Product Information

As characters grow increasingly “mad,” they will pull cards from one of three madness decks, each increasing in difficulty. You’ve got to figure things out, and since time is limited and everyone has their own hand of cards, you can’t rely on one person telling everyone else what to do.

These are inverse player powers; things that hinder communication, upping the difficulty of resolving each challenge.

In Mountains of Madness, 3-5 players will attempt to explore a pyramid shaped set of tiles from coast to mountain, to hidden city, and then to the Edge of Madness and a daring escape to bring back enough evidence to secure their academic futures.

Once the sand timer runs out, players must remain silent for a few more seconds as the Leader decides if they want to use a Leadership token or not. Also of note, when the players reach the Edge of Madness tile, they are no longer allowed to descend. Expect some to not understand the end goal, even after explaining it multiple times or even after finishing your first game.P. Lovecraft’s novella about an Antarctic expedition ravaged by inhuman, prehistoric creatures, this expansion allows you to trace the doomed expedition’s path and enter the immense City of the Elder Things. It also helps when you realize halfway through the play that this game is evil and starts changing the colors of the types of cards as you go up the mountain, to illustrate the madness you are accumulating.
