[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 4413481, member: 1154"] Forked from: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?postid=4413443] Board games you own and would recommend [/url] I think Betrayal at House on the Hill is one of the most overrated games ever. I can't stand how poorly thought out many of the scenarios are, with vague rules which don't address situations quite likely to come up. I hate the billions of tokens that all look alike-- especially given that you never know which scenario you're playing until well into the game, you've then got to stop and spend half an hour sorting through the tiny cardboard chits to find the ones you need... It seems like a good idea, but the execution is just terribly flawed. It's not entirely without merits, though. I like the system it uses with the 0/1/2 dice, for example, and as I said it is a good idea. I think one of the things that really annoys me most is that most of my friends absolutely love the game. So... Yeah, I just had to get that off my chest. Don't take this for any more than it is-- my personal opinion. If you like the game, groovy, just keep enjoying it. That's all that matters. I just can't enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
