Deep Madness
A co-op sci-fi horror crawl through a deep-sea mine, with 66 miniatures and a Sphere that warps minds.

Deep sea mining, an unearthed Sphere, and fears that become monsters. Deep Madness is a fully cooperative board game with 66 detailed miniatures, a sci-fi horror world inspired by Lovecraft and the Alien films. You play investigators venturing into a seemingly empty, claustrophobic mining site to find out the truth, while the Sphere drags everyone nearby into madness and turns their inner fears into creatures from other dimensions. Only those with extraordinary will can escape. Action points, cards, dice and special character abilities shape the descent, for one to six players in about two hours. Expect dread, teamwork and a few bad decisions.
Who it's for
You love sci-fi horror and miniatures and want a long cooperative campaign with friends, ideally three or four.
Not for you if…
You want a light game, short sessions or a competitive one. This is dark and heavy.
Vibe's take
Dark, tense and teamwork-driven, with a creeping sense of dread. Every action point is a choice between pushing ahead and keeping the group alive.
