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.
It’s an immersive experience that pulls us in and keeps us wanting more.

The announcement from GenCon that we’re most excited for came from Fantasy Flight Games about Star Wars Imperial Assault.
Star Wars Imperial Assault is going to be awesome!
The format of the game is just like another hit board game that the boys and I love playing – Descent: Journeys in the Dark 2nd Edition.
Descent is set in a fantasy world where a group of heroes ventures out on a series of quests against a mighty overlord. As the campaigns progress, our characters and abilities become more powerful and we enjoy a lot of great strategic battles in dynamic quest maps.
So when we heard we’ll soon be able to battle in a similar manner in the Star Wars universe, how could we not get excited!

It’s a great game for those that have a mind for some strategy mixed with luck. Because no matter what your strategy is, when it comes down to a dice roll for each battle, you may have to change your strategy on the fly.
We really like this version of Risk for a few reasons:
