It is a testament to the strength of women who will not be destroyed by betrayal and loss.

None of the characters are ideal. I appreciate that. Real people don’t come through things like that undamaged.

Just as great as the original with a fantasy twist.
Betrayal at Baldur's Gate is a fantastic game. The original Betrayal game is my all time favorite game and I was worried this game would be a cheap reskin, but I was mistaken. Baldur's sets itself apart with a few changes to the game that actually work very well. Now playable characters have abilities based on their class that are actually very useful. Instead of exploring a house you are exploring a city which has lots of cool areas to find and secrets to uncover. The best part about all the Betrayal games is the fact that almost every play through can be different because of the way scenarios are randomized. Every scenario I have played has been fun and completely different from others. The quality of the pieces is also fantastic the tokens are on thick cardboard that is very sturdy. Now this game is a little difficult for people new to more complex board games like this, and maybe there could be a better way to explain the rules to new players. All in all Betrayal at Baldur's Gate is a fantastic game that you will play again and again, while probably never playing the same scenario twice.

"A very boring film. I have always had a pulsing interest in Atlantis and all interpretations. This film decided that Atlantis is in some caves under the desert. Such a deliberate betrayal to any imagination of the myth is of course inspirational."

"The charms of the other Hitchcocks—I would like to have included The 39 Steps but don’t have the room—to which are added an atmosphere of such intense passionate tension and threatened betrayal, as well as a cast of archetypal beauty"

If you loved normal Betrayal - GET THIS
Betrayal is already such a fun game to play to have a good story telling time with friends. This legacy game takes that story telling aspect to whole new level. With simple mechanics and easy to learn rules, this game can be fun to play with any group of friends. The only reason this isn't a 10/10 review is because sometimes the campaign gameplay gets repetitive and stale, and there is still the rare occasion where a certain side is very OP before the haunt starts and they'll win very quickly.

"Seeing Ashes and Diamonds again after forty years, I realized how beautifully Wajda married his romantic flair and his unerring sense of history. Zbigniew Cybulski looks as timeless as Brando or Louise Brooks, his maimed glance between those sunshades accusing the postwar world of betrayal."

"An early Fellini masterpiece and a deeply engaging story about the triumph of the human spirit over adversity and betrayal. You will fall in love with Giulietta Masina. Her last scene is one of the most emotionally moving film sequences I have ever watched."

fantastic series
This is the complete series of books in this set, I loved having all the books together. This is a dark romance story, which will have you reading long into the night. This book is packed with very violent themes such as murder, intrigue and betrayal. This is a fast paced series of books, each one sucking you into the story more and more. Amazing well written story with exceptional characters. This story has it all romance, heartbreak, suspense, tragedy and betrayal. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended series
