Horror board game 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Betrayal at House on the Hill is getting a spin-off very soo༒n that offers players a "cursed deck of cards."

Announced by developer Avalon Hill earlier this week, 'Betrayal Deck of Lost Souls' is a standalone card game due to launch🗹 in March 2024. Although there isn🌜't much information on how it'll work just yet, more details have been promised for February. In addition, we got our first look at the box art for this horror board game spin-off via the reveal as well.

Featuring a cold blue design surroun♑ding gold sketches reminiscent of tarot cards or woodcut illustrations, Deck of Lost Souls puts a gnarled tree dotted with faces that seems to be sucking in souls front and center, accompanied (of course) by a raven. As seen in the Twitter post, those gold elements also have an eyecatching foil finish.

In terms of how Betrayal Deck of Lost Souls works, the announcement describes it as "a speedrun of terror & chaos in a portable pack." That obviously brings a short run-time to mind, which is in-keeping with many of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best card games. However, it's also worth pointing out that, unlike many of those games, this isn't a two-player experience – the bot𒆙tom left of the box shows a '3-5' player count, so you'll still need company to run it.

Still, I'd argue that Betrayal at House on the Hill is one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best board games for horror fans and anyone wanting something a little more complex, so I'd say this is worth a look at the least... particularly because Betrayal designer Bruce Glassco is🍒 working on Deck of Lost Souls too. And judging by the success of the franchise's other spin-o𝕴ff ventures (like its Legacy version), this could be promising.
