Avalon Hill has announced the Betrayal at House on the Hill 3rd Edition, designed by Bruce Glassco, which in currently on preorder for consumers at Hasbro Pulse.
Like the earlier versions, Betrayal at House on the Hill 3rd Edition is a semi-cooperative game in which the players explore a mysterious abandoned house in hopes of solving its mysteries. But, during the course of the game, one player may be called upon to betray the others, acting as a “traitor” and seeking to undo their efforts.
The new edition will include 50 scenarios for players to explore, including new material that was not part of the earlier editions and 12 all-new characters. It is also designed with new players in mind, with updated artwork, rule books, and playing materials that will help less experienced players get into the game quickly and easily.
Betrayal at House on the Hill 3rd Edition comes with the “Traitor’s Tome” and “Secrets of Survival” books, 6 double-sided character boards, 6 plastic character figures, 6 figure bases, 30 clips, 8 dice, 87 cards, 45 room tiles, and 114 cardboard tokens. The game is intended for 3 to 6 players, ages 12 and up.
Originally launched in 2004, Betrayal at House on the Hill has been a solid hit for Avalon Hill through two earlier editions, claiming a place on ICv2’s list of top-sellers in the hobby channel as recently as last summer (PRO users see “PRO: Board and Card Games Market Report and Top Brands Charts – Summer 2021”). It has also spawned a Scooby-Doo edition (see “Avalon Hill Announces ‘Scooby-Doo: Betrayal at Mystery Mansion’”), a “Legacy” version (see “‘Betrayal Legacy’ Revealed”), and a fantasy-themed version (see “‘Betrayal at Baldur’s Gate”).
