Avalon Hill Betrayal at House on the Hill, Green

This game is a little complicated, but that being said, I honestly wish I could give this game more than 5 stars. This game is so unique, and well done. The different scenarios allow for a game that you could LITERALLY play HUNDREDS of times without ever playing the same game twice. You never know who the bad guy is going to be, or what kind of monsters/traitors are going to show up. Or maybe I just like being the traitor and sending my friends and family to their doom! And now you can too!

Awesome game. Takes quite a bit of re-looking up rules, but if all players are willing to be patient, by the third game through youll have it down.

If all you want to do is read directions and say this makes no sense then this is an excellent game for you. If you enjoy playing games that have no discernible strategy whatsoever then this is the game for you. Typical 4 person game takes about 2 hours of which at least an hour and a half will just be you reading cards and directions and saying this makes no sense or what the hell does that mean As a drinking game where you drink when you say that makes no sense or drink when you say what then this is absolutely the game for you... I can think of no other game I have ever hated as much and I actually tried to play this game on 3 occasions. And none..... of the games finished with any of the players actually talking to one another. It is really bad..... Really

I bought this game because its unique, and quite a bit of fun about 80% of the time. Its the only game I own like it, and Im glad to have it for that reason. That said, my friends and I played it a bunch early off, and then lost interest. The game play suffers from the possibilities the game creates - its pretty general and boring until the endgame sequence begins. And weve had that endgame sequence happen in the 3rd turn, before anything interesting happened - a less then desirable balance in the mechanics. The artwork is hit or miss (the house is amazing; the characters are pretty awful). All that said - it creates stories, and there are still stories from those early times we played that we talk about when the game comes up. I debated giving 3 Stars, but this fact alone pushes it another star, as its the only reason I want to play games. Also - bravo to whoever came up with this game - its just a great idea, even if its got a lot of rough edges.

Truly a different game every time you play. Over 40 endings or something. Only problem is its a little stale. And you cant get by that by saying well just play it with younger folks, 9-16 or so as its fairly complicated in its mechanics. Though it is a brilliant concept in terms of build the board as you go and a different haunting depending on where and when it happens. Dead of Winter is probably a better bet for your money.

Awesome game, you can play it 100s of times and its different each time! Amazing game, and its TOTALLY WORTH the money you pay for it!

Great game thats different every time you play. Has a bit of a dark side as the title indicates. Some may not like that.

One of the best games Ive played in a while. It has immense replay value. Highly recommend.

Play this when you have a lot of time to devote to reading the rules to any new players. Its very fun, just time consuming.

Love this game. Played it for the first time last weekend and it was fun as it was the first time I played at a friends house.
