Game of the Week: Betrayl at the House on the Hill
Like fright? Feel the need to control hordes of zombies or kill dracula? Want to send a house into the very pits of hell? Want to kill everyone else on the board or take down the one who betrays you? Then Betrayl at the House on the Hill is the game for you! The game that is never the same twice uses a randomly generated mansion and dice to determine which of over 50 different senarios that you will go through. Each senario is crafted to be a different experiance using many different rules and peices through the game to increase enjoyment. Picture below is the two books used primarily in the game, each one contains all 50 senarios, but each book focuses on only 1/2 of the story. Thus the betrayer may control a horde of ghosts, but the players will be given clues on how to defeat them!
Personally I have played the game about 15 times and I have yet to play the same game twice. I found it extermely fun, but it is rules heavy. Fully reading the manual and the FAQ is desired and even then it is hard to remember every small rule. Yet it is a very fun game to play and well worth the effort.
Average Play Time: 45 minutes to 2 hours
Players: 3 to 6.
