The Fifth Element is the first expansion for Big Book of Madness! It features a new spell book, new monsters, new wizards… but also new game mechanics, to be played independently or in combination!

Unknown or denied by most magicians, the terrifying Dark Matter is as powerful as it is devastating. Yet you’ll need to master it to activate the incredible spells contained in the Black Book, defeat black monsters and annihilate black curses!

Fortunately, the new magicians may be better prepared for this perilous endeavor!

Another new mechanic: Phobias make their appearance! These are particularly powerful follies, capable of precipitating your magician’s downfall! Unlike madnesses, Phobias are permanent and remain attached to the character until he or she is able to heal. It’s up to you to manage this now implacable threat.

With 13 new grimoire cards and 4 new magicians, but above all with two new, particularly complete (and devious!) mechanics, Big Book of Madness gains in intensity while retaining the fluidity of the basic game. More relentless than ever, it will encourage players to cooperate more effectively than ever if they hope to close this terrifying grimoire!
