Cons
Con 2013 edition has new rules and is too easy
Stay away from the 2013 edition as the board has been changed to where all rooms can be reached in a single dice roll (way too easy) as well as rules have been tweaked so more of the cards are known from the beginning (again, making the game too easy). Last but not least the character names have been changed to make them more "hip".

Many of the cheaper editions of the game have poor quality including uncentered boards as well as cheap wood letter pieces.
