About the game
Some strange things have started to happen in the small town of Redview. For weeks now, animals have been disappearing. When Wookie, Sheriff's dog, disappears as well, 6 friends get together to try to find him. Welcome to Redview is family friendly. No murders, but instead strange things are happening in a small town in Maine, USA, in the 80s. Since you play the role of kids, there are no scientific contacts you can call to help you. Instead, you will need to use your strength, agility and wit to get to your objectives! Feature 4 new scenarios. Contents include: 10 location cards 15 special item cards 25 character cards 6 player board 1 die 1 rulebook This Expansion requires the base game (London) to be played. It also requires an app to work (it's impossible to play without it), but once downloaded no Internet connexion is needed to play. You currently need Android 4.4 or newer, or iOS 8.0 or newer to run the app, which may change in the future. NOTE: This listing is put as 2018 because backers received it in 2018, but its actual release in 2019! —description from the publisher
