Great board game for 3+ people. Best with a full crew. You and your mates explore a mansion. As you explore a new room you place a tile and something can happen.

It's meant to have a lot of replayability as each time you play there's a booklet full of potential end games that you can trigger. Such as the mansion is burning down and you need to escape.

Ayy, I was going to mention this one. Crazy fun game.

I love the idea of that game. But in practice, I hate it.

Exploring the house is fun. And then the haunt usually ends up with a lopsided win. I can't remember a time where the haunt didn't feel like a forgone conclusion once revealed. Basically, I've never felt like I had any way to impact the outcome outside of potentially just throwing it.

Edit: in my mind, it's less of a game and more of an experience or story generator.

Have you played the Legacy version of the game? I have and I would recommend it.
