Betrayal at the House on the Hill: More Proof That Cats Are Evil

After emptying out our storage unit and beginning the unpacking process, we took a break and dusted off Betrayal at the House on the Hill.  We've only played this one a few times so I had to skim the rules as we played as a refresher but for the most part it went pretty smoothly... at least until the traitor was revealed!

Mechanically it went fine but holy crap it was close! Having been shrunk down to miniature versions of ourselves, it took us twice as long to move around the house trying to escape... and then there were cats.  Evil, evil cats.  Of course I'm biased, especially since I was one of the two players that was eaten by those vile felines.  I don't want to spoil too many details as the surprise is a big part of the fun with Betrayal but I can say it was a real nail biter with the last two survivors just barely managing to escape.

Of course playing the game also made me want to get minis for all the various critters and companions that you might run into along the way.  Once we are settled in I might start working on that as I'm thinking that this game in particular might be hitting the table more often now.  This would also give me some more figures to use with Fear and Faith which would be fun as its been years since I got that one to the table.  So many plans...
