Learn to Play Dawn of Madness (Part 2): Face Your Fears
Welcome to part two of a (spoiler-free) three-part series, exploring the rules for Dawn of Madness, the 1-4 player cooperative horror board game, from Diemension Games.
Corrections & Clarifications
Since this video was made, the following rules / components were updated:
Domain Rift tokens (for terrors and malformations) can now be drawn at random from the supply, rather than rolled for. (1:20)
Support cards have been consolidated into a single large card (which also adds an optional 'bonus' action). (16:04)
You are now free to perform multiple Support actions in a row, if desired. (16:04)
Games with only 2 or 3 wanderers now give players a (cardboard token) health boost.
Once-per-round tracker tokens are now included in the game. (28:29)
The game now includes some general-purpose tracking tokens (for example, for items which use a number of charges).
