Santa's on his way in the new Betrayal at House on the Hill expansion, but he… well, he doesn't seem OK. I'm pretty sure he doesn't normally have mangled Christmas tree arms and murder on his mind, for example.
Announced at Gen Con (the year's biggest event for board games and tabletop RPGs), 'Evil Reigns in the Wynter's Pale, The Yuletide Tale' will apparently launch on November 1. Starring twisted versions of Santa and an elf who've been hit with some sort of magical curse, they've both been turned into monsters who come with their own miniatures. As per other Betrayal at House on the Hill expansions, this set adds new room tiles, cards, Haunt books for Traitors and Survivors, and a story prologue to what is arguably one of the best board games. Intriguingly, the elf actually comes with a character board of his own. Can you actually take control of him? It seems that way, but I've reached out to developer Avalon Hill to see if they can clarify.
