I think I'm on my third or fourth rewatch of this series and I still love this. The game doesn't feel like it gets old especially when you watch Becca, Jay, Xander, and James act out as all of the characters. No wonder this is my favorite game they played on Game The Game

So there's a lot of misunderstanding going on in the comments about how a legacy game works I think. Trust me, I get destroying pieces is like a sin against gaming, BUT legacy games feel so right to do it. With this game specifically (I've already finished it with my gaming squad) it almost needs to happen, there are so many components and some cards permanently become upgraded so if you keep everything it gets watered down and almost impossible to play in free play mode (which is fantastic post campaign btw). You end up with more cards than the original game even after destroying cards and components. Plus marking the board and cards makes them unique and punishing at time. The best part of all this though is by the end you have a real story with your main group and you can share that with other players with how unique the game is now. If you don't like the idea, I highly recommend the classic version as the legacy version will only work as a campaign if you keep all elements and anyone who has played a campaign multiple times over will tell you he element of surprise is the best part and if that's gone it's super tedious. Hope this helps. If people have questions about the game or other legacy games (I've played a lot) I'm more than happy o give recommendations or answer questions

"Two!" .... "More." This was a great group to watch play together!

Anyone else watching this during spooky season 2023? This is so fun to watch and this is my 4th watch through of it since it came out

For those of us rewatching, the how to play segment ends at 7:28

I love Becca's creepy child voice.. she does it so well!

Started off slow but turned around pretty fast, you all started joking around and I got some laughs, one the better Game to games so far 2 thumbs up.

I FREAKING love Betrayal at the House on the Hill. I am picking this up as soon as I can. Thanks for the video :D

Yes! My wish has been granted! Hoped they would do one of these games on the show.

This is great fun; can't wait for chapter 2 (so much so that I'm glad I was too busy to watch this earlier in the week because it's only a day away now).

Awesome to see Jay on Geek & Sundry! Great guy & great DM. 😃

I love your Game the Game more and more. Somehow after deciding to purchase a game, end up on KZfaq, only to find out that you guys, just made a Video, for that Game :D Was the case for Tidal Blades earlier, and now Betrayal Legacy :D

You were meant to keep reading the feral beasts! Not ignore its effect!

Really enjoyed watching this! I saw this being played at our local boardgame event and there was a bunch of hearty laughs, I can see why now!

For everyone who is watching this and thinking "Destroy parts of the game?!? Why would I do that, I spent money on this game!" Here's the thing, in some ways, you are buying an unfinished game. But are given everything you need to make a custom game. You are also given a number (a specific number, but why spoil things here?) of games in which to organically customize the game. The bits you destroy, they will not be apart of your finalized game, so you don't need to keep them (you can, if for nothing more than mementos of the games leading up to the finished product). This also addresses the situation of certain Legacy games like the Pandemic Legacy Seasons 1 and 2, once you finish the campaign... you're done... nothing more to do. But with Betrayal Legacy? You have a fully customized game that you can play, sure some of the scenarios are forever lost to you (a few are campaign *only*), but your copy of the game will not be like anyone else's... ever.

"Who do you trust?" ":) I'm dead! :)"

You know, normally I’m very protective of my cards and game boards, but I think since this game is MADE to be destroyed and defaced, it’s a bit easier. I’ll definitely pick up this game! Plus, if you don’t want to destroy any cards or keep the game well intact, the original betrayal at house on the hill is beautifully done for that

I loved when he got the spectacles, and was actually wearing them.

Omg hoy guys are amazing , I love this ❤️ I had so much fun watching you hahaha I really want to play this

Love this concept, keep these coming.

Love the concept

I recently bought a copy of this game nearly 4 years after seeing this series on Geek & Sundry for the first time.

Gonna have to watch this one later, Becca! My copy is on it's way still!

IGN has a great play through that's a little more clear as they have the creator of the game so he explains the differences and the new rules. might be easier for people to digest than people who are trying to be entertaining.

The Library Bards are so great. Where is Ivan's name on the traitor card?

"...immigrated to the United States" *game starts in 1666* Me: *visible confusion*

50:30 Totally Norse Mythology, land of ice = Jotenheim, Gaints = Jotens, Frogotten City = Asgard, Rainbow = The Bifrost, and Fire = Muspelheim.

Love this!

someone comes to the house so the owner throws a rock and runs upstairs to grab a crossbow... sounds about right

man that voice sounds like moaning mertyl...been a huge geek and sundry fan but 1st vid from game the game and i gata say this just hooked me big time......(i started as a critter)

In legacy games it feels good and just makes the game more fun when you DESTROY cards.

To anyone whining about a Legacy game being played like a Legacy game, check the store page in the description: "Once the campaign is complete, you’ll be left with a fully re-playable, customized board game." Here you go, stop whining now. It's a classic game AND a legacy game. So NO reason to pass on it if you are interested. You'll end up with a replayable and UNIQUE gameboard.

Just love this game

just bought betrayal at house onto of the hill yesterday and played with a few friends although i was not able to finish the game it was fun. i bet this game would be fun

This actually looks epic.

Can we get a Becca Scott top 10 boardgames list? And a Nerdist’s top 10 too would be dope.

2:05:55 After picking up the hammer, the player shouldnt be able to move as the rules state that: "Whenever you draw a card from the Event, Omen, or Item deck for any reason, you lose any remaining moves you had"

“Jenaveve loves salad made with fresh lettuce and WATER”

The game looks very attractive :P actually this game looks like it have a lot of play-ability , many rules are implied and if you can change scenarios and rules that makes the game even more interesting! well done for the review , well deserved thumbs up. Btw my friend send me a link to a game called Heropath , i remember seeing it on kickstarter and it actually made me curious. now it is on the Indiegogo. Have you heard about it? The art looks great and there are many game pieces but first I would like to know your opinion on it.

I need way more of this!

Witches not needing sanity, eh? "Insanity is a requirement of our kind", so they might say.

I think Berserker forgot the effect of his broach, should have more speed.

@geek&sundry is there are video of you all playing Scopius Freighter with Rose Reynolds??

Those spectacles look like Xander’s actual spectacles

Anyone know if these plastic sliders are any better than the ones in the original? Or are we still better off using an app?

would you consider to do a series with Ultimate Werwolf Legacy? :)

Hi to all. I just got this game and it's my first time playing any betrayal game. I have a question, when you guys draw a card asking if there is anyone in a room with a ghost, there was a player in the basement. So that doesn't account until the hunt start?

I wanted to watch more after watching smosh play this!!

On god I hope that they remaster the original game, the art style in this version is so much nicer than the original. If they ever do this I hope that they'd incorporate all versions of the game (adding the rooms and outdoor area from legacy while also including the widow's walk expansion). I'd gladly pay upwards of double the current price of the base game for that.

So I have a few questions that aren't answered in the top comments.i've watched the 1st hour and don't want to continue due to spoilers.Firstly the markers you are using u said they are permanent,does this mean that the hero portraits with names are expendable?Secondly the cards that are destroyed are only a scenario out of many in the game?lastly since you have already played the game "betrayal at the house on the hill" do you find that a must buy for someone who hasn't finished all the scenarios in the original version?

2:23:41 I don't think he was supposed to use knowledge for defence scince it isn't an action

Legacy games need come with a tiny candle and safe tray to burn the destroyed cards

Becca made a monty python reference. That is great.

Just got Betrayal Legacy but have to wait 2 weeks before my group will be together to play it.

During Chapter 1 you go back to "basic" rules where you aren't obstacles to each other... that was only for the Haunt in the Prologue. Instead of DRINKing from the bucket he should have used his Well-to-do and bury it to gain 2 in a trait. The card said to draw the TOP Item card... not the card that matches the space. Anytime you draw a card your movement ends. After getting the claw hammer the attack shouldn't have happened. If he rolls high enough on the trap it can kill the berserker. He should have ended his turn next to the creek.

Thi whispering part was so gooooood

The guy in the middle is hilarious to me

"I see stairs" That sounds absolutely terrifying.

So glad I checked the comments after she read only the first line of the Prologue. I didn’t know what a legacy game was, and saved myself from being spoiled. I was curious about this game because of the original and thought adding ‘Legacy’ at the end meant nothing special. Time to see if my game group would be interested in this.

Victor was victorious!

Well to do calling card couldve healed the critical traits but thats just me

Very fun.

When i get the game, i will scan all cards, place reattachable tape on the scratch cards and make a logbook so you can keep track on each players turn and add pictures of the map! Also 'destroy box' to keep those cards for later. So i can play legacy mode anytime!

The overhead camera being reversed compared to the seating is extremely jarring. I know it's meant to show things from the player's perspective, but the flipping of stage left throws me off for who's rolling which dice.

This a great series to rewatch

I really enjoyed this play through. It was fun. Becca's child voice was too creepy.

@29:20 shouldn't there be a might roll?

Question: Can you continue moving after u place a trap? My group and I didn't really know if it's ok to move after placing down a trap, and we just got slaughtered by the berserker.

Everybody crying about destroying cards is annoying because if anything u can just put the cards in a binder or something keeping them out of the game but not making product you paid for literal trash... i wouldnt want to rip the cards either because im big on collections but if those cards are now invalid i would i just store them seperately

What is the finger thing that is equal parts creepy and cool. I concluded it is a pointer a card lift aid a freaky bandaid or some combination

29:10, he didn't want to make a might roll lol...

Ive got a question? nothing personal against legacy. What happens if you drop the cards while unboxing. Is there a number on the side of the cards to place back in order. Or how about someone shuffle the cards without reading the instructions?

Just curious. Are teh limited amount of rooms because of legacy? Is there something I'm not seeing?

Yay, Awesome video. Sadly I think I'm gunna pass on this...to many campaign games as is, (Gloomhaven being the big one) and it doesn't really seem like that game was 'fixed' enough for me to enjoy it...still awesome to see and Great Rundown Becca!

Defacing the game pieces is giving me mild anxiety, and I've just been running ideas in my head to get around that part of the game if I ever buy it.

36:40 thats the moment you have been waiting for

I'd kill for a PC version... where's my cup?

The game is thrilling and chaotic. But this movie is very funny and chaotic.

Anyone know what by songs they were using?

Is there a reason that they now do Game Game instead of tabletop?

I loled about the secret package

So what i mean its, during the prologue you cant get damage from a ghost until the hunt start?

The Feral Beasts still should have attacked. It was a bit confusing with the language, but after the ghost paragraph it asks for a Might roll to fight the beasts.

You're not allowed to use knowledge to defend against an attack. The scholar calling card says so. The berserker should have won this encounter.

So wait, are you not supposed to start using room tiles from the planks when you run out of "starting" tiles while playing the Prologue?? I might have just played the prologue wrong if that's the case...

I had to stop watching at 1hr 45m due to spoilers, but it looks so cool! I'm sensing some amazing game nights in my future!

52:09 they knew about there is no witch. They decided to cut the video.

I hope they translate it in French and other languages... it's hard enough already to find friends to play legacy games. :P

Yh that berserker fight was the players to lose he could place traps in pasture. jump between the haunted areas to drink and regain stats. Use his absurd knowledge ability to trap damage him and shot between moves

Spoiler: 2:16:00 Xander misplayed so badly... a) traitors are not slowed by obstacles.. b) rather than going through all the traps Scooby-Doo style.. he could have just walked down the stairs instead and not return the runes to James, and James would be out of traps and stuck outside against a raging double striking berserker.... Oh well, but to be fair both Jay and Becca were in terrible spots during the haunt reveal...

How kind of you crossbow wielding stranger. You do realize she threw a rock at you earlier right? Lol

The other play through of this I saw had the Well-to-Do character searching for items so they could throw them away.

As a Genevieve some of the things said in Game 1 made me feel attacked

My brother wrote some of the haunts for this game.

can i like if i play and need to place a sticker can i just use like the secret passage token in the original game. likr destroying cards can i put them one side?

Is this game actually fun or is it just the actors making it sorta fun?I wanna get this game cause people say it's good but it's just not hooking me.. is the non legacy better?

When the girl first landed on "The Hanging Tree" tile she drew the omen card and started the haunt. On that tile, there is an embeded ghost token on that tile. So she should have rolled to take the -1 sanity. They thought, since it didn't have the sticker, that it wasn't there. She would most likely have died there. Made a mistake that could have drastically changed the game early on.

Bekaaaaaa! Where are you! God! This house freaks me out!? And why are there destroyed cards all over the floors?

Norse snake with wolf head, sounds like a mix of Fenrir and Jörmungandr

Shouldn't Juliet have not been able to run into the Blood Field since the Bezerker Girl was an opponent? So the trap wouldn't have gone off.
