Betrayal at House on the Hill

Betrayal at House on the Hill is this board game I purchased back in 2006 and since then has been one of my favorite games to bring to the table. If I can get 3-6 people at a table to play a game for a couple hours this is usually the one I grab.

You can find a vast number of reviews and instructions on how to play elsewhere on the internet, like here or here, but here's why I like it and why you might.

Who hasn't wanted to explore a haunted mansion with a bunch of strangers any one of them potentially being in cahoots with the entity that is doing the haunting. It has the perfect feel for a Halloween board game.

Perfect for people who want theme and story and are playing just for the sake of enjoying the experience that is Betrayal at House on the Hill.

Not perfect for those who want a very balanced game. Due to the nature of events and items the games can swing in favor of either team, and while that can make for a great story, when you are the traitor and you are getting your face pounded by the player whose character rolled well and was very lucky, it can feel less that balanced.

I highly recommend if you have a friend that owns this game play it, or buy it and be that friend.
