Mansions of Madness
Investigators explore haunted locations—manors, crypts, schools and other derelict sites—to uncover dark conspiracies and confront spectral and monstrous threats. Play supports two to five players with one player taking the role of the keeper who controls monsters, traps and story antagonists while the others control investigators who search for clues, solve plot threads and try to survive without succumbing to madness. Scenarios use pre-designed stories that mix different maps, encounters and endings to create varied mysteries and climaxes.

Garfield2.0 10 I learned many games that are way more complex than this one. But seriously, the setup takes about 30min and if you want to learn the rules you have to spend hours! And there are so many tiny rules that you won't remember, so I'm sure you always have to look in the rules. Maybe that works if you play the game several times a week, but otherwise for sure not.
