Game Mash-Up: Cards Against House on the Hill

In class we had the task of combining board games students brought in. I brought Cards Against Humanity and Brianna brought Betrayal at House on the Hill and with the help of Erisa and Rushton we created a completely different game.

If I had to explain it in the simplest way I'd have to say it was R18 Dungeons and Dragons meets Whose Line is it Anyways

Everything was made up and the points didn't matter

Goal of the game:
Once all tokens are off the board, the player with the most tokens, wins. Players with same amount of tokens duel each other with remaining cards until last one standing.

Set Up:
Place room tiles from BHH randomly around entrance center-piece while still matching entrances. Pick pieces that hold narrative (ie: "Bloody Room" over "Patio"). Place dead ends around perimeters and place a token in each space.


  • Pick a character figurine from BHH
  • Everyone starts at entrance hall
  • Randomly place spider and dog in any room
    • Spiders - cannot pass unless able to kill 
    • Dog - appease with a treat from your inventory. Roll die to determine if you're allowed to pass. 1 = No 2 = Yes 
  • Each player rolls a die to determine which CAH card to draw. 1 = Black 2 = White 
  • Pick a card from the ITEMS or OMEN pile, and a card from the EVENT pile 
  • The three cards can be combined to either: 
    • Move to a relevant room (ie: Draw Grave Dirt - Move to Graveyard) 
    • Perform an action (ie: Draw Chainsaw - Eliminate players in your room)
  • To add an item (any of the three cards) to your inventory, you must collect it by moving to the relevant room on the board 
    • ie: Draw Mecha Hitler, must move to Furnace Room to fuel him 


  • Roll two die to determine number of spaces to move. If both turn up blank, re-roll 
  • When 2 players land on the same space you may 'steal' tokens from the other by utilizing your inventory. Winner is decided by vote from other players
