Tabletop Game Rating Watch
Modular board and 50+ scenarios creates near infinite replayability (2 more)
Super thematic
Semi-cooperative leaves room for fun incidents
Lots of pieces, need quite a bit of tablespace (2 more)
rules and mechanics can be confusing at times
Not always balanced
Great game for horror fans
Betrayal is a must-have for any tabletop enthusiast, especially horror fans. With 50+ haunts, it'll be quite a while before you're bored. Spend the first half of the game on the same side, exploring a creepy mansion. But beware, once the haunt starts, the dynamic dramatically shifts, often putting 3 against 1. It'll feel just like you're in a horror movie!

Design is awesome (2 more)
Mechanics are fun and easy to teach
Mechanics have lots of replayability
Stories can get repetitive (0 more)
Above and Below is a great introductory game to adventure mechanics. Nothing in the game is difficult, and players can feel accomplished, even in their first game. But there is also enough variety to allow for great replay ability and to still keep the game interesting for experienced tabletop players.

And oh man, is the design awesome. You'll be amazed at the level of detail that went in to the cartoony graphic design.

Ultimately, the biggest downfall is the lack of adventure stories. You might think I'm crazy, because there are 208. But in just a few games, we managed to replay quite a few stories. This is less than ideal, because not knowing the outcomes of the stories is integral to the gameplay. Perhaps this is something that the expansions fix, but I have not played them.
