Rooms are revealed as they are drawn from a stack, creating a new map each time that can have a slew of items or a slew of omens – and this keeps the gameplay incredibly fresh. Despite that excellent haunted house atmosphere, Betrayal creates a fun romp that feels light-hearted and fun as you race to explore, and then eventually fight or escape. Betrayal is a great atmospheric game with wonderful writing not only in the scenarios but on the Item and Omen cards, as well. Sometimes the emphasis is killing the traitor, sometimes it’s revealing certain rooms to set trapped spirits free, and sometimes it’s just to sprint to get the bleep out of the house before a limited number of turns passes while the traitor and his/her supernatural buddies try to murder you so you can stay there forever and ever and ever…Īnd anyway, back on point. One player then becomes turned by the supernatural influence of the house and at that point it’s the rest of the players versus the traitor. Depending on which room sets it off, the scenario is then picked from a book. Setting off the haunting is inevitable as eventually the dice roll required to stop it from happening will be too high to make.

Supporting 3-6 players, Betrayal starts as a fully co-op game as players work to explore as much of the House as possible, find items, have supernatural experiences, and hopefully avoid the disaster of setting off the haunting too early.
