Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

My problem with Betrayel at House on a Hill is that the exploration part is fun, but often has very limited effect on the haunt. It's so random, you cannot "go" for something, and the haunt can happen basically any time. Handing out a couple of random cards to everyone and laying out some tiles would have the same effect.
