WizKids Betrayal at House on The Hill Upgrade Kit

Very happy with the quality of this upgrade kit. Love the swirly green haunted theme dice, they add an extra element to your overall game experience and they look better than the standard dice. I'm big on theme so even little things that improve the experience at all like this make a big difference to me. I like to bling out my games when possible and these are great for that. The dials though, that is the big reason to grab this upgrade kit. These dials with their built in counters save you a small but noticeable bit of setup and tear down time, and honestly over our play time we've lost some of the plastic track pieces in our original game over time. No more of that, we can put our remaining one in our extra bits box and not have to stop a game when someone goes to adjust one of their stats and accidentally drops the tracker on the floor. It's never fun to stop a game to look for pieces that fall off the table onto the floor and disappear under a couch. The dials and dice are very good quality, I love the colors and new artwork provided on them. Was very pleased to add this to my copy of Betrayal, if you enjoy and play Betrayal, this is a no question addition to your game that you will not regret.

I ordered these because the original character cards were a bit of a hastle with the plastic markers. The upgraded character cards use a wheel for each attribute, and the default numbers for each trait is marked by a tab at the edge of each attribute wheel. Another plus, is the new artwork. It is way better than the vanilla artwork. Not only more detailed, the new artwork is still colored themed but not just done one color. The new character cards also feel heavier and are thicker than the originals. The character information/ background info can be found at the bottom of the character card, making it more noticeable and easier to read than the originals that have that information encircling the character's picture. The only thing I believe people who purchase it may have a problem with, is that the holding tray for the game cannot accommodate all of them, as it did with the originals; they are simply to thick for it. That said, I just place them in last/ on top of the instruction, and the box closes just fine. An extra set of dice also helps with this game, and the marble green color matches the color theme of the game. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product.

I love this add-on so much. The original player cards for 2nd ed are kinda dated and the one fault about 2nd editions is that the clips don't work after you use them for a while. these new updated player cards are such an upgrade with the turning numbers. The Spooky colored dice are a nice addition as well. It's not really needed to enjoy Betrayal 3rd ed. but if you want some QOL upgrades for the game it's worth the investment IMO. can't wait to see what they make for 3rd edition now.

If you've ever played Betrayal, you'll know the sliders for the traits REALLY suck. I know that there are plenty of third parties out there that have made solutions for this (like nicer sliders, etc.), but when I saw WizKids came out with one, I decided to give it a shot. I like that this eliminated the need for sliders at all by using dials instead. This really improved the game experience. Seriously. The dice are also really nice. To be honest, I bought this kit for the character cards, so these were more of a bonus for me, but I think they really are an upgrade. They look cooler and are themed to Betrayal rather than the boring, stock dice from before. I took a star off because I wasn't a fan of the art on these. Sorry, but for a game that relies heavily on its theming/story, it did bug me that the art style wasn't the same/similar to the original character cards. The backgrounds look more "stale" and the characters themselves lacked the same horror or spooky element that the originals gave off.

Love these, they work so much better than the sliders that come with the game. It is sometimes hard to remember which way to turn the knob, you just have to remember that up and down are different on each side (up towards the top point and down towards the flat bottom)

Love the dice, they really add an extra level of immersion to the game. The player cards are nice touch as well, but can be a little confusing at first when changing player stats.

This is an addition to a much loved game that isn't required. It adds nothing to the rules, game strategy or how the game is played. However, it improves your enjoyment of the game and extends the game's life. As shipped, the character records wear due to the plastic clips moving along the counts. This converts them to wheels that are easy to adjust and do not wear the sheet out. The new dice improve the visuals too.

Loved the idea of these and they work great and everything! Dice are probably my favorite part alone! Only complaint is personally when playing I discovered the difficulty in knowing how close to death I was because it shows only one number at a time but still very cool!

Buena opción para mantener los puntos de vida de los jugadores, también incluye un set de dados de color verde

Much better than the actual player boards in the main box

Helps the game a bit. Complicated game, but these are much better ability keepers.

Es necesario tener cuidado al girar los discos ya que puede que subas cuando debes bajar o bajar cuando debes subir. Sin embargo considero que son mejores que los marcadores originales con las mini pinzas negras Ya que, en mi opinión, no eran muy claras al momento de señalar el número. Por otra parte, los dados son de un verde aperlado más oscura que el se ve en la imagen. Contrasta bien con el amarillo claro de los puntos de los dados.

Anyone who has ever played betrayal knows the character stats are a pain to work with. Yeah there is a free app, but these work great, updated illustrations. And the dice are a nice addition. Worth it for anyone who enjoys the game
