  • In the movie, none of them died. Wonka verifies it at his office door when he picks up the mail. Charlie asks about the other kids and Wonka says they’ve been turned back into their terrible nasty selves, but are hopefully wiser for the wear. Wonka then points Charlie and Grandpa Joe to the exit and apologies for not showing them out because he’d already wasted the entire day.













  • Yeah, analysis paralysis really slows the game. The first time I played was with 3 or 4 players over 12-14 hours, mostly because we didn’t know what we were doing. Then we played again about a year later and the game lasted about 8 hours with 4 people and another time a couple months later, we played a 4 hour game with 5 people.

    One thing in that game in particular, would be to give everyone a little notebook so that they can write down what they think about their next turn. Sometimes it crawls so much that you forget what you were going to do by the time of your turn. It definitely helps when you play the game a little more frequently and don’t have to relearn everything.



  • The problem with Betrayal at House on a Hill is the editing of the rules. Some haunts reference a rule that isn’t explained anywhere else and the players are left to guess what it’s supposed to be. There have been a few times where we ended up in a draw because something in the haunt was broken. If they had edited the haunt sections of the rule books and made sure that all rules were referenced in the main rulebook, the game would go more smoothly.

    If everyone is familiar with the game, Twilight Imperium can fit in the time frame. However, I’d they aren’t, that can be 16 hours from the time you start figuring out the rules. Even longer if you read the rules, rather than watch a video (nine of which I’ve seen are comorehensive).
