Based on the award-winning Betrayal at House on the Hill board game, in Betrayal at Baldur’s Gate you’ll return to Baldur’s Gate again and again thanks to the fifty included scenarios only to discover it’s never the same game twice.
Can you and your party survive the madness, or will you succumb to the mayhem and split (or slaughter!) the party?

Much like House on the Hill, painfully slow especially with lots of players. I played for a couple of hours and I think I only took about 8 turns- half of which were stymied by some game mechanic anyhow. The last half hour I spent trying to eliminate my player so I could go play something fun.
Board Crazy
We found the component quality to be pretty good overall, but some elements of the game are a bit flimsy. The minis are painted, which is a big plus. Gameplay-wise, this game is a bit of a mixed bag. Our 3-player games have been uniformly disappointing. The randomness of the gameplay is definitely better suited for 4+ players, so play it with bigger groups, if possible. Also, the rulebook is pretty difficult to navigate when looking up rules on the fly. There's a lot to remember, so that can quickly become problematic. All in all, Betrayal at Baldur's Gate, while an improvement over House on the Hill, is an unspectacular game that's best suited for larger groups. However, if you love DnD and horror games, then there really isn't anything better out there.
