Description

The Big Book of Madness: The Vth Element is an exciting expansion to the original game, where 2 to 5 players work together to close the book before madness takes over. This cooperative game introduces new challenges with the Dark Matter and Phobias modules, which can be played together or separately, adding a fresh layer of complexity to the game. With a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, players will need to manage their hands, build their decks, and utilize their unique powers to overcome the obstacles. The Dark Matter module brings new elements to the game, including the Vth Element, Dark Book, Dark Curses, and Dark Monsters, as well as new Magicians to aid in the battle against madness. Meanwhile, Phobia Cards introduce permanent constraints, raising the stakes and requiring players to adapt their strategies. With its normal complexity level, fans of the original game and experienced board game players will have no trouble diving into the action, but be warned: player elimination is a real possibility, so you'll need to work together to succeed.
