Mansions of Madness: Second Edition – Altered Fates

Description

--- **Altered Fates** divides investigators across present and future mansion maps, with interconnected actions enabling cooperation through time. Key mechanics include: - *Team division* Investigators split between 1920s mansion and its future abandoned counterpart, played simultaneously. - *Time-linked interactions* Actions in the present directly impact the future, such as hiding items under floorboards for later discovery or rescuing captives who return in the future. - *Portal scenario* Lady Helena abducted via polychromatic portal; players decide who follows into the unknown amid closing portal. - *Cooperative challenges* Team must collaborate despite separation, facing unique challenges on each map. Altered Fates challenges investigators by splitting the team across two simultaneously active maps: a classic 1920s mansion and its dystopian future as an abandoned, boarded-up ruin. The scenario begins with Lady Helena's abduction through a polychromatic portal, forcing a rapid decision on who pursues her into the unknown. Despite physical and temporal separation, players cooperate via causal links—items concealed in the present appear in the future's same spots, and freed captives can reappear later—demanding synchronized strategies to overcome map-specific obstacles and resolve the mystery. ---
