The door closes behind you. You’re locked inside this house with the other explorers. Are they your friends or your enemy? Time will tell. You had better explore this house, so you can work out how to get out of here. Just don’t fall through the floor or its going to hurt and watch where you look, you don’t want to lose your sanity. Betrayal at House on the Hill is a semi co-op game for 3 – 6 players that takes around 1 – 1.5 hours to play. Each player is an explorer who investigates the spooky old house. As players move around the house exploring, new rooms are discovered, and certain events may occur. Each explorer changes their abilities over the course of the game as they encounter things that may strengthen or weaken them. At a random point in the game after rolling dice, an explorer triggers what is called a ‘haunt’. At this point, one player will become a traitor who is trying to defeat the other explorers. The remaining explorers work together to defeat the traitor. The first team to complete their goal is the winner. The game comes with 44 room tiles about the size of drink coasters and a larger starting tile. There are 6-character miniatures, which are pre-painted, as well as their corresponding character cards. There are 8 dice which each have 0, 1, 2 on them, 80 game cards, 149 little cardboard tokens, a rule book, a traitor’s tome and a survival book. Betrayal at House on the Hill is a game played in 2 halves. In the first half of the game you are trying to make your character as strong as possible by collecting item cards that increase one of your four skills. Each character card has four traits that are used in the game, they are speed, might, sanity and knowledge. When you reveal a room tile with the omen symbol, you draw an omen card, carry out the action and then you must roll 6 dice. If the total of the 6 dice is less than the total number of omen cards drawn by the group since the start of the game, the ‘haunt’ begins. There is a reference table in the Traitor Tome for this part of the game. This decides which scenario will be played and who becomes the traitor, based on the room the card was drawn in and the card name. The traitor takes the Traitors Tome and leaves the room reading the scenario instructed at the time of the haunt. The other explorers read the same scenario but in the Survival Guide. The traitor returns to the room, sets up anything they were told to and the game is played until the end from there. The first person to complete their goal wins. This game has lots of replayability as it comes with 50 scenarios. Even then if you played all 50, it plays different each time depending on the room tile layout and the characters’ different abilities. So, if curiosity gets the better of you, why not enter the house and see what lurks within it’s walls. Just beware and watch your back!

The newest expansion in the Pokemon - forbidden light series was recently released and it is certainly brightening up the Pokemon world! Building up on the story of Sun & Moon - Ultra Prism, this expansion showcases the mysterious power of Necrozma, who has absorbed a legendary Pokemon and taken on a luminous new form as Necrozma-GX. So, the other legendary Pokemons Lucario-GX, Greninja-GX, Zygarde-GX, Yveltal-GX and even the mighty Acreus must choose a side. The new expansion includes 5 new Prism Star cards 8 Pokémon-GX 6 Ultra Beasts 15 Trainer cards 2 Special Energy cards Each booster pack will include ten cards from the expansion, including at least one rare card and one basic energy card. Two new theme decks - Tropical Takedown and Twilight Rogue are also introduced. Tropical Takedown features Alolan Exeggutor while Twilight Rogue features Lycanroc. This new expansion of the Pokemon Forbidden light series also includes Prism cards, limited to one per player deck, since they are so powerful. Once used they are discarded in the Lost Zone rather than the discarded pile which means that once gone, they are never returning! Tropical Takedown Alolan Exeggutor is leading the way and all his Pokemon mates come along to wins as a team in the Tropical Takedown. The deck contains over 130 cards that you can use to make the most of your big attacks. Twilight Rogue Unleash Lycanroc when you are outnumbered by your opponent, after Lycanroc does more damage when your opponent’s bench is full. Salazzle and Malamar pull more cards and more energy for more ways to win the Twilight Rogue theme deck! Featured Cards Pheromosa Pheromosa makes an appearance in the TCG series in a simple yet fearsome style. It may not be a Pokemon-GX or Prism, but its 110 HP and no Retreat cost is enough to create an impact. If you are down to only one prize card, Pheromosa’s white ray attack will hit with a massive 180 damage and make you victorious. And since it isn’t a GX, if your opponent manages to throw Pheromosa off the game, they’ll be able to claim only one of their prize cards instead of two. Naganadel-GX This ultra beast’s power is well known. And when its power becomes stronger by having few friends by his side, he is undefeatable. Its beast raid attack increases in power for each ultra beast on your bench. The stringer-GX is a game changer. It not only forces both players to shuffle their remaining prize cards but also requires them to put three new ones down, regardless of how many they has before! Zygarde-GX Durability, power, attack, and defence all together in this GX makes it a complete package. This land wrath’s energy requirement might seem difficult to meet, but its well within reach when combined with cell connector attack. Play this card with good timing and nothing can stop you from winning! Diancie Diancie is a booster. When this Pokemon is on your bench, your attacking Pokemon’s attack power increases by 20 damage. It is also a healer. Diancie’s diamond rain attack delivers a one-two punch - doing 90 damage and healing all of its teammates. Guzzlord This voracious ultra beast’s lord valley attack does a formidable 160 damage. With right timing, few Pokemon will stand a chance against lord valley. It also is a GX, hence you will only have to give up a single prize card if it happens to get knocked out. Ultra Necrozma-GX Necrozma has returned and this time with more power than ever as Necrozma-GX. In one massive shot, its photon geyser attack can bring down can enemy, doing 20 damage plus another 80 for each basic psychic energy card you discard from Ultra Necrozma-GX. The sky-scorching light GX can put six damage counters on each of their Pokemon. This ultra beast should definitely be feared! Ultra Space Ultra beasts have changes the landscape of Pomon TCG battles. When ultra space is in play, you can search your deck for any ultra beasts card and put it into your hand once per turn. This gives the players an opportunity to make strategies around the powerful beasts on their deck. Beast Energy Beast energy make the ultra beasts even more dangerous, When attached to an ultra beast, this card provides 1 energy of any type and also adds 30 damage to that Pokemon’s attacks. You can have only one beast energy in your deck, but one is enough to turn the table around! Bonnie Zygrade’s GX attack creates vast damage and is widely effective at slowing down opposing Pokemon’s EX and GX. Its friend Bonnie lets you break the GX attack rule and use it again! Bonnie appears as a supporter card, but before you play Bonnie, a stadium card must be in play and which needs to be discarded as part of the card’s effect - this could be great for your gameplay especially if it’s your opponent’s stadium car at play.
Blood Rage became an instant hit as soon as it made a debut in he market in 2015. Eric Lang, the designer of Blood Rage came to be known as one of the most prominent board game designers. Now, Lang is back with his newest game which revolveds around diplomacy, honor, blood and finely sculpted plastic. So, anyone who enjoyed Blood Rage would definitely find Rising Sun intimidating, The premise of the game is simple. The game is based infeudal Japan and each player is part of a clan, vying for control of the land. Rising Sun Board Game takes place over three rounds. On each turn, players have to pick up top four ‘Political Mandates’, as portrayed by the colourful cards. Such mandates include “recruit’ which lets you add new units to the game, ‘Marshal’ which lets you move them around and so forth. Players have to make the best decision to get a tactical edge over other players. All the players will try to take the best decision to win conflicts and conquer newer regions. The victor is given a province token worth a small amount of points. But this isn’t as simple and balanced as it sounds. Players will frequently find that the mandates they’ve chosen, seldom allow them to do the thing they want. Also, each player has to harness the actions taken by other players and pull off sweeping moves which benefit them the most. An important element of the game is forming alliances at the very start of each round and just like real life, alliances also come with the element of betrayal. The ‘betray power’, one of the strongest mandates of the game, is a mandate used to betray allies when a players’ priority shifts. These changing priorities and blurred alliances maintain an ever challenging atmosphere where every player has to be on the lookout of an unexpected knife on the back! Unlike in Blood Rage, players cannot depend on the same winning tactic. Rising Sun Board Game is full of challenges, sly manoeuvring and betrayals. It will leave you pondering upon your decisions for days afterward, analysing decisions taken and second guessing vengeful back stabs.

We’re playing “Cards Against Humanity” this weekend at a Games Day and we thought we’d give a shout out to this game here at Gameapalooza. If you are the more mature gamer (over 18 years) and you haven’t tried “Cards Against Humanity” yet (or CAH as it’s affectionately known), it’s a great game. Easy to set up, simple to play and most importantly a LOT of fun. You do need to have a high threshold for vulgarity, since the aim of the game is to play your cards and be the most funny / vulgar / horrible person you can with the options you have (and your options are probably vile). We chose the least offensive, just so you know. So how does it work? Every player gets 10 white cards with various politically incorrect words / phrases on them. One black card is drawn, you fill in the gap(s) with the one (or two) of the cards in your hand, generally the one you think is funniest / most vulgar. The person who drew the black card chooses the one they think is best (usually based on overall guffaws / response of all players) and that person keeps the black car, then judging passes to the next player. Simples yes? Cards Against Humanity the more polite cards We can safely say we’ve turned more people into tabletop gamers with “Cards Against Humanity” than almost any other game (Loonacy perhaps just pips it). The magic of “Cards Against Humanity” is just how utterly wrong it is and yet, oh so right. Seeing your friends / acquaintances play really morally corrupt cards, really brings you all together, it also makes you laugh a LOT. Game Build QualityRegular retail version: Nice quality box, nice quality cards, nothing negative to report. You can also get the Bigger Box (sold separately) which holds every card and then some (thus far), which is nice. Ages Adult ONLY3 to 20+ PlayersSetup Time a couple of minutes #Reblogged from Gameapalooza
Which of your friends is most likely to….“Drunk, Stoned or Stupid” is a party game where every round begins with that very question. Funded through kickstarter, “Drunk, Stoned or Stupid” is in a same vein as other simple adult party games like “Cards Against Humanity”. Setup and GameplayThe great thing about this game is that it’s very simple. All you need to do is shuffle the deck of questions, then you’re good to go. The group chooses a starting player to be the judge (every round has a new judge), they then draw the card and read it out loud. Some sample questions include: Which one of your friends is most likely to… “Pay you back later”“Pee outside when the bathroom is open”“Shamelessly snapchats” Once the question has been asked then the player to the left of the judge will nominate a person in the group who they think fits the question the best, then the accused person tries to defend themselves. Everyone in the group has a chance to offer who they think is guilty of this trait however the judge has the final say. The guilty party gets given the card which means they lose a point, any player that gets to 7 points is the automatic loser. Because of the simplicity (and theme) the game flows fast and welcomes a large amount of laughter, ideal for any party game. Are your pals Drunk, Stoned or Stupid… find out with this party game. Game Build QualityThe only components in the game are the cards, which are sturdy and simple which suits the theme of the game play fantastically. The box is small and compact which makes it great for traveling, it’s also quite sturdy and the cards fit nicely inside. Gameapalooza House RulesIf you want to speed the game up a little, try getting the judge to accuse a player, instead of letting each player around the table make an accusation. Once the judge has accused someone then that player has the right to defend themselves and point the finger at someone else.Also if you’re worried some of the cards might be taken “too personally” take them out before the game starts. Overall“Drunk, Stone or Stupid” is an adult party game with a real bite! If you enjoy “Cards Against Humanity” then chances are you’ll probably enjoy this game too, there are a few things to be aware of with this game though. Firstly this game can be a little nasty, so you’re going to want to make sure your friends aren’t the kind of people who take things too personally. An example of this could be a question such as “Which of your friends could do better?” or “Which of your friends is most likely to be cheap?”, whoever gets accused might take some of these questions very personally.Another thing to mention is that this is a game that relies heavily on playing with people you know, the game has provided a rule variant where you can play with people you’ve never met, but playing with friends is where this game really shines.This party game can play a crowd (you just need a minimum of 4) which is always a giant bonus, and there are always so many laughs flowing. Overall this is a fun little adult rated party game with a bit of a twist. 4+ PlayersAges: 17+Setup Time: Under a minute #Reblogged from Gameapalooza http://gameapalooza.com.au/
