Betrayal at House on the Hill is a cooperative horror game that’s earned legions of fans over the years. With modular components offering impressive replayability and a fun twist that sees one player working against their teammates, it’s a unique (and spooky) choice for game night. You’ll soon have a new way to play the cooperative horror game, as Betrayal at House on the Hill: The Evil of Pennywise expansion is arriving on August 1. Based on It: Chapter 2, it should be an excellent choice for fans of the original board game or long-time Stephen King fans.
While the Betrayal at House on the Hill: The Evil of Pennywise is not yet available to preorder, we at least know the upcoming expansion comes with new miniatures (including one for Pennywise the Clown and his grotesque, spider-like creature form), new room tiles, monster tokens, and Pennywise Encounter cards that modify how the base game. Here’s a look at everything included:
- 3 miniature figures, including 1 Pennywise figure
- Character board overlay
- Plastic character board clip
- 4 room tiles
- 2 haunt books
- 10 game cards
- Scenario card
- 3 cardboard monster tokens
- Cardboard red balloon token
The Evil of Pennywise is an expansion, not a standalone title, meaning you’ll need to pick up Betrayal at House on the Hill 3rd Edition if you’re interested in checking out the clown-based scares. The game is currently on sale at Amazon for $39.75 (was $56), so consider picking it up now and learning the ropes before Pennywise arrives later this summer.
There are plenty of other Betrayal at House on the Hill expansions up for grabs, so consider picking one up if you need help biding your time until the Pennywise expansion lands on August 1.
