I have been a fan of Betrayal at House on the Hill 2nd Edition for years, but since my son took that one to college I was excited to pick up the new 3rd Edition. The new version has been updated and streamlined quite a lot, and I think all the changes are individually great. Taken collectively, I’m wondering if maybe the game is now a bit too streamlined. I need a few more plays to be sure, but I suspect it strongly.
The Good:
The new artwork is much more vibrantly colored, without being cartoony.
The Haunt Roll can no longer trigger on the first or second Omen card
There are significantly fewer tiny little tokens to keep track of.
The overall gameplay is the same as the previous version, and there are still 50 different possible Haunts.
The players can now choose a background reason for why they are exploring the House, which affects the style of Haunts they will trigger, rather than it being completely random.
The Less Good:
Fewer Omen cards may mean less thematic variety in the Haunts
Unpainted grey figurines are less immersive than the fully painted figures from the previous version.
Certain rooms have had their special effects simplified, nerfed, or removed
Players may no longer steal items from other players, so less interaction
Player haunt information is now open - no keeping secrets from your opponents
So, in a nutshell, it’s still a great game but I have concerns that it may have been over-simplified. I’ll have to play a few more games to check.
UPDATE:
I have now played several more games, and I regret to say that my initial impressions were right. Don’t misunderstand me, it’s still a great game and highly recommended, and I will still play it and enjoy it, but for people who played and loved the 2nd Edition, this one will feel kind of nerfed in comparison. If you never played the 2nd Edition, or played it and found it too fiddly or overcomplicated, then this version may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Questionable production Quality Assurance
Product arrived about an hour ago and I just finished unboxing it. Case has some cracks in paint that does not appear to have been caused by damage to the box as it is smooth to touch. First thing that I found when I opened the box was a small black piece of plastic that you can see on 3rs image. There is a long crack (about half the length of the box) on the plastic holder starting at the top right corner where this small piece is missing. The box was not damaged in transportation as it came in a cardboard box with little air cushions, this piece was definitely damaged before it was put in the box. Couple of tile pages came warped as you can see in 4th picture where they are poped and stacked. I am not pressing on them my thumb and box are just holding them up so they don't fall. All 3 booklets have some creases, or minor damage on the edges. The content part in booklet says it should come with 30 clips for stats. Mine came with 32, hopefully someone else wont be missing 2. Tiles had a bit harder to pop out withou damaging them so I opted for scalpel, just in case. However tokens poped out withou a problem.

I LOVE this game, it comes with all sorts of components and is worth the price and more! The plastic figures are durable and well detailed, and the game-play is different every time. I brought it to my acting camp to play with friends and we enjoyed it incredibly. The 12+ rating has nothing to do with the difficulty of the game, but has more to do with the gruesome parts (the event cards). There are no gruesome images , just descriptions. I played with my 6 year-old cousin as well as some 10 year-old friends and they enjoyed it just as well. This game has an infinite amount of possible game-play combinations because you and your family/friends build the board as you go, and the scenario card you choose at the beginning decides which haunt goes into play. It is honestly the most fun I've had in a while, and I highly recommend!
