Betrayal at House on the Hill originally launched in 2004 and has received several updates since then, bringing it to its current 3rd edition. The popular game challenges players to build the map as they go, drawing tiles to explore the House on the Hill until they trigger the Haunt. Then, gamers enter any number of in-game scenarios based on the circumstances that triggered the Haunt. Because the game’s map and rules are different each time you play, it’s stood the test of time. But that doesn’t mean players aren’t excited to see something new to add even more replayability to Betrayal.
In a May 21st press conference, the team at Avalon Hill officially revealed the new Betrayal at the Neibolt House: The Evil of Pennywise expansion for Betrayal at House on the Hill: 3rd Edition. The new expansion will feature horrifying minis of iconic Stephen King characters from IT, naturally including Pennywise himself. It is set to launch on August 1st, giving gamers just enough time to grab the new expansion ahead of their spooky season game night.
What To Expect from Betrayal at the Neibolt House: The Evil of Pennywise
The expansion is inspired by It: Chapter Two and brings in three unique miniatures, new rooms, and new items and characters. Players will settle into the town of Derry and experience one of five new, unique Haunts featured in the expansion. Gamers could find themselves in the role of It or several other characters from Stephen King’s iconic horror story.
