Betrayal at House on the Hill

In the exploration phase, existence precedes essence; we construct the house and our fate. But the Haunt reveals the terror of freedom. The Traitor returns, and I feel The Look—I am no longer a friend, but an object to be destroyed. Hell is truly other players. The game’s mechanical "jankiness" is not a flaw, but a reflection of cosmic absurdity. To complain about unbalanced RNG is Bad Faith. We are condemned to roll, forcing meaning upon a chaotic, cardboard void. - Full Review

fun but also overrated imo

Such a great concept, but have generally found myself frustrated with how most sessions go.

Has a very tall meta-requirement. The in-game rules changes mean that everyone at the table needs to be a board game person. Not casual friendly at all, but also not especially complicated (at least not at the core mechanical level). That being said, when you have the right people, Betrayal is a damn fun semi-cooperative game with theme to spare.

too many moving parts.
