Betrayal Legacy marries the concept of Betrayal at House on the Hill with the permanency and multi-game storytelling. Betrayal Legacy consists of a prologue and a thirteen-chapter story that takes place over decades. Players represent families, with specific members of a family participating in one story, then perhaps an older version of those characters or their descendants showing up in later stories.

Betrayal Legacy marries the concept of Betrayal at House on the Hill — exploring a haunted mansion — with the permanency and multi-game storytelling exhibited by Daviau’s Risk Legacy and other legacy games that followed. Betrayal Legacy consists of a prologue and a thirteen-chapter story that takes place over decades. Players represent families, with specific members of a family participating in one story, then perhaps an older version of those characters (assuming they lived) or their descendants showing up in later stories.
Why would people keep exploring a haunted mansion for decade after decade, especially when horrible things happen there? Curiosity, I suppose, or perhaps an ignorant boldness that comes from the belief that we know better than those who have come before. Look at all that we’ve learned, marvel at the tools we have at hand! Surely we’ll all exit safely this time…
As with other Betrayal titles, the game is narratively-driven, with elements that record the history of your specific games. The tools mentioned earlier, for example, become attached to specific families. This isn’t just a bucket; it’s my bucket, the one my grandpappy used to feed his family’s pigs when he was a boy, and while you can certainly use that bucket, I know how to wield it best from the time he spent teaching me how to slop. Yes, it’s an heirloom bucket, and when kept in the family, I get a bonus for using it.

A really fun legacy game that seems to take the better story telling mechanics of both Seafall and Pandemic Legacy and mix them together in a fun filled medley... That somehow doesn't really tell a coherent story, yet. We are about halfway through the campaign so far and are enjoying it immensely thus far, mostly from it's sense of fun and ease with which one can learn and play the game. I recommend so far and will write more when our campaign is complete.

An outstanding Legacy adaption of the classic game. Everything get's its own backstory, and the whole house feels much more alive and personally as you uncover each story.

Betrayal games hold a special place for me. They're very much a casual beer and snacks kind of deal, which gives room for lots of funny table talk. Legacy tightens up the rules and adds to the overall experience. The only oddity to me so far are the (*Small spoiler alert*) "calling" cards relative to the miniatures. Why the heck would you have scholars and medical professionals when two of the minis are children?? I feel they should have been more general. Breaks immersion.
