About this expansion

Mansions of Madness: Season of the Witch is a Print on Demand, single-scenario expansion for two to five players, with games taking about 180 minutes. Designed by Richard Launius, it sends investigators into a tense and terrifying race against the clock.

This expansion uses the modular board setup from the Mansions of Madness base game. Its setup is determined by the included event cards and reference sheets, creating the framework for a pre-designed horror story filled with mystery, insanity, and danger.

One player takes the role of the keeper, controlling the monsters and other malicious powers within the story. The remaining players become investigators, searching for answers while struggling to survive with their minds intact.

  • A single additional scenario for the base game
  • Modular board setup guided by event cards and reference sheets
  • Multiple combinations of plot threads
  • Clues, monsters, and climactic story endings affected by those threads
  • No new game mechanics added by the expansion

During the scenario, the selected plot threads influence which monsters investigators may encounter and which clues they need to find. They also determine which climactic story ending the players will ultimately experience, giving the investigation a distinctive narrative shape within the established Mansions of Madness system.

Season of the Witch is purely an additional scenario rather than a set of new mechanics. As a Print on Demand release, its cards may differ subtly in appearance and texture from base game cards, so necessary base game cards are reprinted in the expansion to maintain a consistent appearance when shuffled.
