Chris, Michael, Dave, Jeramee, and Alex tried to “Escape from Innsmouth” in Mansions of Madness Second Edition.

Much back tracking was required to find the final piece of evidence and to then make their escape and meanwhile the horrors of the situation were sinking in. By the end, all of the investigators had gone insane and their disparate goals kept anyone from making it to the boat out in time, causing everyone to lose.

Michael, Scott, Ed, Byron, and Phillip tried out the club’s new copy of Dead of Winter. They played the introductory “We Need Samples” mission, but inadvertently selected the hard core difficulty.
