Betrayal at House on the Hill (First Edition)

← All Betrayal at House on the Hill (First Edition) questions

Does failing a roll to cross a barrier room (Catacombs, Chasm, Tower, or Vault) end your movement?

Posts quote tile text and a second-edition FAQ, but the first-edition rulebook reads differently and some posters disagree, so this stays a best reading.

Yes for the Catacombs, Chasm and Tower: their tile text says a failure stops your movement, and a second-edition FAQ quoted in the thread says movement ends in all four barrier rooms, the Vault included. The first-edition rulebook alone says only that you can't cross and can still move back the way you came, and some players follow that. You may try again on your next turn.
