- Always Board Never Boring reviews and runs through how to play Betrayal Deck of Lost Souls from Avalon Hill, a new game in the Betrayal at House on the Hill franchise.
In this hidden traitor game, players attempt to match symbols as they gather arcane items that will defeat a terrible curse and release their souls from purgatory. Sounds good, but is the gameplay as fantastic as the theme and presentation?
If you want to know more about the hidden messages concealed within the artwork on these cards, ABNB's video on the subject is here:

I played this last night at my local game store. Never even heard of Betrayal before and I had a lot of fun with this game despite the initial confusion. I would definitely buy this if I had the money.
Glad to hear you had fun with it. It's a good little game.
The artwork on the cards is amazing. I had no idea that this game existed. I'm glad you got you to share this game. I might pick up a copy for myself and give the game a go. But the rules porsion of the video did put me off a little about getting the game. But all in all the game looks really interesting and I still might give it ago. Thanks for sharing!! looking forward to your next video :)
The rules sound quite daunting when you lay them out, but it really is very simple. You just reveal a card, pass a card, or draw and discard a card, then you reveal an omen, and then reveal cards to defeat the omen. Obviously the presence of the traitor adds layers of complication, but overall once you have played once or twice, it becomes very fast and intuitive and you can focus more on trying to smoke out the traitor.
Can you add information on how to play the inquisitor? It doesn't have markings and I can't figure out if the inquisitor can't play marked cards or can play all things. Also does only the inquisitor get an extra card or does everyone?
Also after you get past the green item cards do you shuffle and reset the used/discarded items, or are you just out of new items for the rest of the game? You seem to answer people so I'm hopeful you can answer even some of these! Thank you!
Rules page 13 describes how to set up the game for five players with the Inquisitor. The inquisitor does not have an affinity for any particular items but starts the game with one extra item.
Rules page 9 has a box out that tells you what to do when the item deck runs out. You can start pulling any card you want from the discards at that point.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoringso if the inquisitor doesn't have an affinity can they play all the cards or none of the cards? I'll go check the rulebook again for the others, thanks! 😁
@@angelamarie6078 A character has to have affinity to play cards with character symbols. Each affinity item has only two character who can use it.
Both you and the rule book do not say if you do not defeat a minor omen is it discarded, or do you have to keep it out until defeated? Do you suffer the penalty every time you cannot defeat it?
As per step 6 of The Omen Phase in the rules, you discard the omen card at the end of the Omen Phase unless you defeated it and it was a hint.
Hmm... Whole lotta Cursing going on in this video! 😂
Looks interesting. One of my friends loves playing the traitor scenarios. He would have a ball being enigmatic!
It always adds to a traitor game when people ham it up a bit.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring oh! Random question; do you ever look through some of the Hquest Builder community Quests? I put up a DarkWorld conversion on there
I haven't had a chance to look on there for ages. What is your quest called?
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring DarkWorld HeroQuest conversion. I'm pretty sure
I'll try to take a look at it when I get a minute.
That Card Games logo on the front of the box looks so weird and out of place. You could use some lighter fluid to easily remove that sticker on the back. Just have to curb your impulse to have a cigar at the same time.
That's the crazy thing... there is no sticker on the back! That's printed on design.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring I mean the bar code thingy.
I repeat. There is no sticker on the back!
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring What the hell. That's barcode that is is crooked and have a bulge in it is printed?
Yeah. That's printed on like that. It's bonkers.
There just Tarot Cards
They are tarot sized, but they certainly aren’t tarot cards.
Next time maybe split the how to play and the review review into two completely separate parts. This wasn't exactly an encouraging video. Really frustrating for someone that wanted to play it for the first time.
Appreciate the feedback but I don’t plan on changing the way I do my videos. There are time stamps in the video description if you need to jump to a specific section of the game.
This sounds like a very badly and sloppily designed game wannabee.
I like it quite a bit. I think a good traitor player can lead to some really fun sessions. I'm glad the video helped you to decide it doesn't sound like something you would like.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring I am not sure, really. I have not made a final decision.
