Five wildly different roles share a haunted manor, each with different rules and a different goal.

Vast: The Mysterious Manor (2019) sends you back into the strange world of Vast, this time inside a haunted house. The twist is total asymmetry: one player is the pious Paladin hunting the escaped Spider, another plays the Spider herself, another the murderous Skeletons, another the Manor itself, and a fifth the Enchanter, who rules the minds of the others. Each role has its own pieces, powers and ways to win, so no two seats share rules. A single game can last two hours, and learning every role is real work. Think of it as five different games happening on one board, which is fascinating and a lot to teach.

Who it's for

You like heavy asymmetric games, have a group that enjoys learning unusual rules, and want a one-of-a-kind haunted house adventure.

Not for you if…

You want a game that is easy to teach on the spot. Each role has to be explained separately, and a game runs long.

Vibe's take

Intense and a little overwhelming at first. Every seat is its own puzzle, and the best moments come when the Spider, Paladin and Manor all clash at once.
