Content Notes: Kickstarter Edition of Deep Madness: Penitent & Forsaken Expansion. Includes two miniatures plus cards. (This item does not include core game.) Please note: unless otherwise stated paid add ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included.

In a dark and claustrophobic deep sea mining site, the uncovering of a mysterious “Sphere” is dragging everyone nearby into the endless madness. The fears deep within one’s mind are amplified and transformed into horrifying monsters from other dimensions, torturing one’s body and testing their sanity. Only those with extraordinary will and conviction can escape its devastating grasp. Deep Madness is a fully cooperative board game for 1-6 players with 66 amazingly detailed miniatures, depicting a sci-fi horror world inspired by Lovecraft’s work and the Alien series. In the game, players assume the roles of investigators, venturing into the seemingly empty yet perilous deep sea mining site to find out the truth behind the lost contact event. Unimaginable horror and madness from the dark fear within is waiting.

Deep Madness is based on multiple scenarios from a continuous storyline. Each scenario has its own unique board setup, rules, special effects, and goals. From resolving fatal crises to struggling with overwhelming bosses, the investigators will face various quests filled with strategical decisions and fierce combat. With each scenario achieved, they are one step closer to the truth, but also one step deeper into the world of madness. Each scenario of the game plays in a limited number of game rounds, if the investigators fail to achieve the goals before the last round ends, the game is lost and everyone is consumed. Each game round consists of 4 phases: Devour Phase, Spawn Phase, Activation Phase, and Refresh Phase.

In Devour Phase, the Devour Marker progresses one step forward along the Devour Track, indicating the world going deeper into madness. As the Devour Marker progressing, more and more rooms (map tiles) are flipped to their madness side. These rooms will spawn monsters and provide various nasty effects to hinder the investigators or to boost the monsters.

In Spawn Phase, different types of monsters with unique abilities are spawned in the flipped rooms. Monsters do not show their existence in fixed locations, they could be spawned right next to the investigators if they ventured carelessly.

Activation Phase is the core of the game, the investigators and the monsters take turns to act alternately. Monsters do not wait for all investigators to finish their turns like in other cooperative games, but do act between them, so careless planning would put the investigators who are later in the turn order into grave danger, facing fatal attacks before they had a chance to act.

In Refresh Phase, some maintenances are performed, and some special effects are resolved.

In each investigator’s turn, it is crucial that the player chooses 3 actions to take wisely. Each kind of action has its own value, and every single decision could be life and death in Deep Madness. Unfortunately, the correct decision is rarely obvious. Moving, attacking, searching, exchanging items, locking the doors, and recovering sanity are the basic actions. Additionally, each investigator also has his/her own unique and irreplaceable abilities to activate. Different combinations of investigators provide distinctive strategies and game experiences.

Monster acts according to its own action pool during its turn. In Deep Madness monsters are highly characteristic, not just in stats, but also in abilities and behaviors. Different combinations of monsters provide unique challenges. And due to the intertwined activation mechanism, even different turn orders of the monsters make each game session different. However, no matter how the monsters setup is, Deep Madness will be a very challenging game, even death could be a strategy.

In the game, investigators battle the horrific monsters, survive the harsh crises, and above all, save their own minds from the devouring of madness. They are given many chances to consume their own sanity, to activate their abilities, to use the effects of items, to reroll the dice, and etc. However they are vulnerable when the sanity is low. After an investigator with insanity tokens manages to kill a monster, the monster will corrupt his/her mind, by permanently flipping the insanity tokens into madness tokens. As the madness token cumulates, horror haunts the investigator by resolving Madness Cards, and each of them has unique negative effect and terrifying flavor text.

Very well made but strong wood smell
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
This is a really well made puzzle. These pieces are nice and thick, the laser cutting is extremely precise, and the picture is stuck on very well to each one without peeling. There is an extremely strong burned wood smell when you open the box, but it's not a bad smell to me, more like a fireplace wood burning smell. Anyone that is very affected by strong smells would probably not like this puzzle though. I also don't know how long it will take for the smell to go away, if ever, but I've had this puzzle for 2 weeks now and the box still smells strongly like wood that has been set on fire. We haven't put the puzzle together yet, life is just been rather busy, but the couple pieces I found that did fit together went very smoothly. I like how unique the shapes are, and that there are the World Cup icons as well. This should be a lot of fun! It did come with a clear sticker to keep it together for hanging, but because of how that sheet was folded in the box, it'll have to be attached on the back or else there will be visible seams.

Official FIFA Product
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
This is not my 1st Woodlux puzzle. They are well made, unique puzzles with laser cut pieces that are very precise. The FIFA 2026 World Cup Trophy puzzle is no different. This puzzle has large swaths of solid black which would seem difficult, but the uniqueness of the pieces gives you more than one way to figure out where the pieces go. Colors on the puzzle pieces are vibrant. There is a slight fire smell to the pieces, likely from the laser cutting. I found the smell to be noticeable, but not overpowering. Could be a problem for sensitive noses. 15 of the 200 pieces are soccer/FIFA shapes. This puzzle comes with a cotton drawstring bag to hold the pieces, as well as a cheat sheet, and sticky clear sheet to lay over the completed puzzle to display it as art. The assembled size of the puzzle is 9.2" x 13". This is an officially licensed FIFA product.

Beautiful collectible FIFA puzzle
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
This a 200 piece puzzle. It is a very well made laser cut wooden puzzle licensed by FIFA. It depicts the FIFA trophy. I like that the pieces are really solid and made of wood, about 3/16 of an inch thick (5mm). They are very durable and there is no puzzle dust. The puzzle is about 9x13 inches when finished, a perfect size for wall display. The colors are bright and the piece shapes are really out of this world. The back of the puzzle has some related designs imprinted. It is shipped in a brown box with the gift puzzle box inside the plain box, so it makes a nice gift. Included is a draw-string bag for piece storage and a laminating style sticky sheet to secure the puzzle for hanging. It looks good and will make a nice practical game room collectible. This is a nice value for a puzzle collectible display piece.

Beautiful, well made puzzle
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
I am a big jigsaw puzzle enthusiast. It's the norm for there to be a 1000 piece puzzle on my dining room table at any given moment. This is my first experience with a wooden puzzle and I have to say I think I am hooked. This is a small, 200 piece puzzle, but it was so much fun! What I loved - *Let's just start with how pretty and vibrant this puzzle is! The colors are bright and it's print is sharp. *The pieces are beautifully laser cut and finished. No rough edges or burrs. *There are several specialty pieces, most are soccer related. What a great touch! *The pieces fit beautifully. *It comes with a pull string bag for storage and the items necessary to preserve and hang once completed. I am a fan and plan to order more of these fun puzzles!
