Avalon Hill Betrayal at The House on The Hill Second Edition Cooperative Board Game, Ages 12 and Up, 3-6 Players, 50 Chilling Scenarios

This game is amazing! I love playing it with my group of friends or my family. It is spooky so not for kids or people who don’t like horror stuff. It’s easy to understand! No pieces were missing and the green color of the box really brings out the spookiness. It’s great and worth the price! There’s a bunch of mini stories you can play within this game like almost 80 of them so it’s fun for a long time and different each playthrough

This game breaks out from the typical “beat your opponents”. It combines cooperative exploration with a plot twist, allowing 1 person to become the chaser, while the remaining players remain a team. The amount of time to play the game allows for a game night to include multiple rounds or other games.The game arrived in great condition and in a very short time. Overall cost was rather low compared to other sought after games.

This is a fun game! I love the story aspect and that it’s a different game every time! I would say it’s probably a middle school aged child to adult age range.

It is a fun experience whether working as a team or against one another. Well thought out strategies are encouraged while circumstances may change fast, changing good and evils plans.Especially when played as a group even younger players can accompany and pull off clutch moves.

I love this game. Played it at a friends house on one of their board game nights and loved it so much that I had to get my own copy of the game. If you like mystery and a bit of horror you will like this game. Its like Clue mixed with mafia/werewolf. The best part is that you don't know who is the one that betrays the group. I love the replayability of this game and that each time you play it its changes and is different from the last game. Every time I play it with my friends someone new is the person that betrays the group and the story changes every time as well with new enemies. A great game to play with friends or family.

Disclaimer: Im not a game reviewer by trade or practice, but this one is worth the jump.Ist, out of the box Betrayal has a bit of set up required its easy to accomplish and requires no extra tools, but the carboard tokens and pieces do require you to "punch" them out of perforated cardboard. Everything is good quality and durable. (Just like 80s movie creatures) avoid getting it wet. The place markers (lil people) are excellently crafted and have great detail the cards are good quality and the board pieces are solid.2nd Game play. (The whole reason you are reading a review I'm sure.) This is fun. It starts off with quite a bit of set up. Choosing a character, trying to decide which player attributes will help in a scenerio that you have not been presented with yet. First plan is to explore the house and grounds. Each discovery has the oportunity to strenghten your character but aslo may trigger the "Haunt". The board is an ever growing collection of tiles. Each corresponding to the appropriate floor (It would just be weird to have a balcony in the basement). Once the "Haunt" is triggerd, a single player is now the opponent. They have a whole seperate scenario and gameplan book and everything. You team up to strategize a win against a lone player. Its a lot of fun.The good: It's a fun game. Interesting that they have designed it to take on 50 different "HAUNTS" so 50 different strategies and even a plan for situations where you incidentally draw the same game a second time. Its unique that the board of play is built as you play and they did a great job utilizing it with all the 50 scenerios. Fun times had by all.The Bad :(for all those who seek the bad reviews first.. drama seekers) about once per game we had to decide what the rules were. For example once we had a player trying to sabotage the ending... we had to decide if we could attack them on a player vs player type attack or if we simply had to run. Its not a very long game and requires a lot of reading and set up id say we averaged 1 1/2 hrs per game. (Depending on what kind of liquid was not being spilled on the game board)Overall great game fun times what initially seems like an over complicated game in the end is pretty simple and is explained well for the most part.Its rated 12 and up and thats a pretty mature 12 year old.3 player minimum and 8 max. Thats because of the number of player cards.Hope this helps

I really enjoy playing this game. It's easy to explain to new players, it's quick to get into, generally pretty fast paced, and it's fun the way that it's cooperative, until it's not :).I have introduced many people to this game, and many of them have become game board gaming converts after giving it a try.

The cool thing about this game is that it's never the exact same each time you play it. It is fairly easy to learn. Takes around 2 hours but it depends. The quality of this game is very nice. Strategy is difficult with the varying setups, but is still required.
