Full publisher description

Betrayal at House on the Hill quickly builds suspense and excitement as players explore a haunted mansion of their own 'design', encountering spirits and frightening omens that foretell their fate. Betrayal at House on the Hill is a tile game that allows players to lay out the haunted house room by room, tile by tile, creating a new game board every time. The game is designed for three to six people, each of whom plays one of six possible characters. Players explore the haunted house, gathering items and discovering secrets, until one of the characters triggers a haunt and a monster hunts the rest of the party. The innocent members of the party must defeat the monster in their midst before the monster gets them! With 50 possible haunts and variable character powers each game, the games has great replayability.
