The Betrayal Deck of Lost Souls is a horror-themed card game inspired by Tarot, designed for 3-5 players aged 12 and up. Players assume secret roles—either explorers working together to overcome a Curse or a hidden traitor sabotaging their efforts. The game includes over 90 Tarot-sized cards, 11 of which feature foil accents, with detailed illustrations depicting Curses, Omens, eerie characters, and mystical artifacts.
Gameplay revolves around encountering Curses like the Plague Doctor and Beasts of the Woods, along with Major and Minor Omens that escalate tension. Designed for quick setup and play, sessions typically last around 20 minutes, making it accessible for new players while offering strategic depth for experienced ones. The compact format suits game nights, travel, or gatherings.
This standalone game complements Avalon Hill’s horror lineup, including Betrayal at House on the Hill and its expansions. Suitable for horror and strategy game enthusiasts, it serves as a thematic gift option for teens and adults.
Things to Keep in MindA common concern is the game's significant complexity and confusing rules, with many players also reporting difficulties with card readability due to small, decorative fonts, obscure symbols, and an abstract art style that often impedes gameplay. Why You'll Like ItThe game presents an interesting and unique concept that can be enjoyable for fans of the original Betrayal series, especially once players have navigated the initial learning curve.
