Betrayal at the Neibolt House: The Evil of Pennywise Review

"Betrayal at House on the Hill has developed into a franchise that started as a first of its kind horror board game with the first edition in 2004. It has become a snowball picking up steam (increasing since Hasbro began distributing it). In 2010, the Second Edition was released, and it was essentially an errata edition of the first. Expansions and variations began in 2016 with the release of Widow's Walk Expansion, followed by a Dungeons & Dragons variant, Betrayal at Baldur's Gate, and a Scooby Doo Variant with Betrayal at Mystery Mansion."

"Expansion Overview: For those of you who have never played a Betrayal game, you can read the gameplay overview from Betrayal at Baldur's Gate. The gameplay remains the same. Before the haunt begins, you build a mansion, and after the haunt starts, the game changes to trying to defeat monsters and/or a traitor. This expansion requires that you remove two events from the Event Deck, adds four rooms to the base game that are very IT inspired, three new large monster tokens: Georgie's Ghost, Stan's Head, and Zombie Hocksetter, three Miniatures for Henry Bowers and two versions of Pennywise, and a red balloon token."

Betrayal at House on the Hill began in 2004 and grew into a franchise that expanded after Hasbro distribution. The Second Edition appeared in 2010 as an errata-style update. Major expansions and variants started in 2016 with Widow's Walk and extended to licensed versions such as Betrayal at Baldur's Gate and Betrayal at Mystery Mansion, plus a Legacy and multiple thematic editions through 2022. The Neibolt House expansion brings Stephen Kings Pennywise to the game, relocates the haunted setting to Derry, and adds new rooms, monster tokens, miniatures, a red balloon token, and a Pennywise Encounter system that alters haunt-related dice mechanics.
