The line between physical board games and digital board games has been shattered by Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition!
It’s no longer “either/or” – now it’s completely both. That’s because the digital Mansions of Madness app is the only way to play the physical game.
In Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition, players interact with both the physical game components as well as the digital app. Players use boards, cards, tokens, miniatures, and dice while the app unfolds the story before them.

Santorini gets a very hearty recommendation from us on being a great board game the whole family can enjoy.
It scores off the charts on our “let’s play again” game meter for many reasons.
The younger kids in your family will be drawn to the game because of how wonderful it looks and because they’ll get to play with building blocks to make a cool island city. But they’ll also discover that using their mind is super fun.
And adults will find an engaging level of depth in the game. There’s plenty to think about during a game that makes for a wonderful head-to-head challenge.

Our experience with Insert Here game inserts have been fantastic.
One of the things we love the most about them is how light they are. Since they’re made of foam core material, they don’t add any weight to the game itself. And when you’re talking about a game with tons of components, no additional weight is a great thing.
Another element we love across the board with all their inserts is how quick it makes both game set up and take down.
