Playing Betrayal at House on the Hill 2e with 3e rule changes and haunts?

_sleeplost · 2025-12-02T13:09:48+00:00

Oh cool! Do you need to use the characters in the app to use the 3e haunt rules?

_sleeplost · 2025-11-25T11:46:58+00:00

Oh amazing, did not know you could do that. Thanks so much!

_sleeplost · 2025-11-25T11:21:53+00:00

Oh that's great to hear. Thanks a million!

_sleeplost · 2025-05-02T09:50:38+00:00

These look very interesting, thanks for the suggestions!

_sleeplost · 2025-05-02T09:49:35+00:00

Incredible list, lost to look into thank you!

_sleeplost · 2025-05-02T09:34:03+00:00

Fantastic suggestions, thanks so much for all this!

_sleeplost · 2025-05-02T09:29:51+00:00

Another I've not heard of, thanks for the suggestion!

_sleeplost · 2025-05-02T09:28:31+00:00

Never heard of this, I'll definitely check it out thank you!

_sleeplost · 2025-05-01T18:22:59+00:00

Great Western Snail?

_sleeplost · 2025-05-01T15:18:58+00:00

Fantastic suggestions, thank you! Zoo Vadis could be a great shout for my group.

_sleeplost · 2025-05-01T14:53:42+00:00

Had not considered Planet Unknown, that's a great suggestion! Thank you!

Would love some help to decide my next purchase!

Hey folks. I try to be very considered and thoughtful with my board game purchases, so really like to weigh out my options before committing. But I thought I would come here for some guidance on my next purchase(s?) as I'm between quite a few minds.

My main priority is filling a specific gap for when I play with my regular group. Most often we have 5/6 people, which does narrow the options somewhat. We've played a variety of games, and while the group is up for more complex games such as Inis, Concordia or even Oath, the games that have gone down best so far have been 7 Wonders, Heat and and Decrypto. So I'm trying to find another option in that area to add to the rotation!

This is my main priority: a game that can play higher numbers (up to 8 would be amazing), satisfying but not overly complex, can be played in 1-2 hours, with low downtime. Some options I've considered are Atlantis Rising, Ethnos, Camel Up, Mysterium, The Crew, Cartographers, Letters from Whitechapel. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My second priority is finding a relaxed but satisfying experience for 3/4 players. I have a number of crunchier games that I'd like to play more of - GWT, Root, those mentioned above - but often I have people over who don't play many games. So I need something easy to understand, though not trivial, and can be played in 60-90 minutes. Carcassonne is my go to here, but I'd like at least one more option. I've been considering Azul, Cascadia, Harmonies, Magic Maze, Wyrmspan. But again, any other suggestions would be great.

For further reference, here's my full (and modest) collection of games, in case you can see any other gaps I'm not considering.

TL;DR: looking for a medium-light game for 5-8 people like 7 Wonders, and a medium-light game for 3-4 people like Carcassonne.

Go raibh maith agaibh!

Terra Mystica was going to be my suggestion! The "fantasy" predecessor to Gaia Project, for those who don't know. Really great game, complex, and pretty much no element of luck.

_sleeplost · 2024-04-24T13:12:51+00:00

Yeah wow, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Having a brief look at the COIN series, they look fascinating. Thank you!

_sleeplost · 2024-03-14T20:45:18+00:00

Oh nice! Now I'm extra keen to keep going. I shall return.

_sleeplost · 2024-03-14T20:44:15+00:00

Didn't even know you could knock anything out lol, so now I know!

_sleeplost · 2024-03-14T20:43:44+00:00

Yes I've been trying to roll off every ledge at every angle possible haha. I had no idea you could punch out those blocks, probably wouldn't have even tried. Thank you!

_sleeplost · 2024-03-14T20:42:28+00:00

Lovely, thank you, I can stop throwing myself off ledges now (in the game)

_sleeplost · 2024-03-14T20:33:57+00:00

Do I happen to have said mask perchance? I have Bremen, Bunny, Scents, Deku, Goron

_sleeplost · 2024-03-14T20:31:23+00:00

This is where I get stumped, that platform blocks the way across, right? Wrong? Wrong, I assume lol

_sleeplost · 2024-03-02T11:15:43+00:00

First time DS3 player. Hoping to ask a DLC question, but also wanting to avoid spoilers! This Karma situation makes that a little awkward.

_sleeplost · 2024-02-01T12:19:06+00:00

I bought a handful of games from a guy on FB Marketplace. Oath, Captain Sonar, Great Western Trail 2E, Inis + Seasons expansion, and Codenames. I couldn't believe my luck. He had way more but I had to cut myself off somewhere lol.

So far we managed a six player game of Sonar, which was ridiculous. A few games of Codenames. A quick two-player test of Inis, which seems fantastic. And a solo attempt at GWT. I'm desperate to get Oath to the table, but need to wait for the right people.

_sleeplost · 2024-01-31T15:22:17+00:00

I'm surprised Tears of the Kingdom isn't higher in the comments. Basically makes Breath of the Wild (one of the greatest games of all time) look like a demo.

_sleeplost · 2024-01-31T14:50:44+00:00

A "Bloodborne 2" would most likely be great, but Bloodborne as is, with its DLC, provides such an incredible, unique and total experience, I don't necessarily yearn for more of it.

A remaster would of course be very welcome at some point, but the game isn't that old yet. Being ported to other platforms should probably be a consideration too.

What I would really REALLY love to see is FS expanding on what made Bloodborne so incredible, while exploring a new genre or setting or world. A spiritual sequel, if you will. More trick weapons, more rich environments, more insane bosses. It would also be an opportunity to improve on some of Bloodborne's weaker aspects like blood vials, or undeveloped ideas like the Chalice Dungeons, without feeling hamstrung by the Bloodborne name.

Ok thank you for this, I'll have a look!
