Learn to Play Dawn of Madness (Part 1): Welcome to the Otherworld
Welcome to part one 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, some rules / components were updated. Relevant to this video are:
Additional Story Tracker tokens have been added. Instead of a single tracker token per Story dial (which was prone to being bumped or knocked), you now add a new token to the dial, for every story point gained. When a multiple of 10 is reached, flip a token to its back side.
Support cards have been consolidated into a single large card (which also adds an optional 'bonus' action).
Cardboard standees are now clearly labelled (and other cosmetic improvements have been made).
