I would assume you know whatScooby-Doois, but in case you’ve been living under a rock since the late 60s, it’s a kids mystery show starring a talking dog. It is among the most highly-regarded classic cartoons and is still getting movies and spin-offs to this day.Betrayal at House on the Hillisn’t quite as old (2004), but is also a classic in its genre.
The board game sees you entering a mansion that’s constantly shifting from game to game. Each time you play, you’ll randomly generate the mansion with three decks of room tiles. As you move through the house, you’ll gain new items and skills, but at some point, the “haunt” begins. Basically, this is another randomly generated event that forces one or more players to “betray” everyone else and take on the role of the game’s monster. Because of all the random elements, the game does have some fiddliness to it; however, if you’re looking for afun, spooky gamewith friends, you’re able to’t go wrong withBetrayal at House on the Hill.
And now Avalon Hill is tossing a heaping helping ofScooby-Dooover the top?
