About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever felt that spine-tingling dread in a horror movie where you just can't trust anyone? Betrayal: Deck of Lost Souls brings that exact-feeling tension straight to your tabletop in a fast-paced card game format! Set within the haunted-ever-present House on the Hill, players find themselves trapped by a cursed deck of cards found in a dark attic. The mission seems straightforward: work together as explorers to defeat various Omens and Curses by playing the right Item cards. However, there's a massive catch lurking in the shadows.
This isn' isn't just a cooperative struggle against a deck; it's a game of hidden identities. Each player is assigned a secret role, and while most are trying to save everyone, one player might be the traitor working to unleash the ultimate Curse. The gameplay revolves around managing your hand to counter-act-the horrors, but you'll always be looking over your shoulder. To win, the explorers must gather the specific items required to defeat the final Curse. If they succeed, the group triumphs; if they fail or if the traitor succeeds in their sabotage, the darkness wins. It's a tight,-paced-experience that blends hand management with social deduction, making it perfect for gaming sessions where you want high stakes and quick rounds without a massive rulebook.
