Dillon Jacoby-Rankin (202 KP) rated Betrayal at House on the Hill in Tabletop Games
Jan 18, 2020
Expansions: This game already has one expansion called Widows Walk. It adds a roof floor to the game as well as new cards of all three types, and as you may imagine a whole new set of haunts to play.
Replayability: The game has 50 haunts or so in the base game and with widows Walk it adds a bunch more. The game can be played over and over and based on the tiles in the house and the haunt that is played, your experience is almost never going to be the same twice.
Components: The cards are all really nice as well as the tiles for the rooms. The trackers for the characters could be better but they actually already made an upgrade pack for that so problem solved. My only gripe is that the doorways are all highlighted in a specific color but the windows are not. There are several rules that require you to be in a room with a window but they are not highlighted like the rooms with doorways. This could have easily been fixed before launching the game. Also, the symbols for the cards are hard to read on the yellow artworked rooms. In blends right in the background on them and I always have to point out that there is in fact a symbol for a card on those rooms.

Delaney comes to New Orleans after her mother dies, to find she is now the owner of The Bird House, a brothel. Meeting Alderic is the bright light in a dark place. But Alderic is a smuggler, and Delaney is now a Madam, The Painted Lady. They walk in different circles. Someone, however, wants The Bird House.
What I liked about this, was Delaney did not know what her mother did. She was sent away as a child, and has not returned home for a long time. Remi (who turns out to be far more than a bodyguard!) is her only connection to her mother. But once Delaney got her head round the idea, she embraced it. I loved that the girls in The Bird House were all there voluntarily.
I liked that it took Alderic a LONG time to figure things out! Loved how he got Delaney back!
It's not explicit, at all, given where Delaney now lives, but it is emotional. Delaney deals with a lot here, and it takes a toll.
I'm left intrigued, though. By Alderic's partner, Nye, and his new wife, Sarafina. They have a book that preceeds this one, I want to go back and read it. I have a feeling that Sarafina was a shock to Nye's system!

The premise of this one called to me with the beach and bookstore setting. I felt at home right away with Scarlett and the rest of the regulars. The plot pulled me in. It is more event heavy rather than investigation heavy (I prefer a good mix), but there were still times the events kept me reading longer than I should have. And yes, the setting is fun since I have spent some time in Oceanside on a regular basis. I hope this series runs for a long time. If you are looking for a great new cozy series, look no further.
