"Deck of Haunts is fun for its mechanics and the reversal of perspective, but it lacks a real narrative bite and a crescendo of tension: it is interesting from a conceptual point of view, but it lacks that extra spark …"

"If you have a taste for horror, you&s;ll be right at home with Deck of Haunts. This deckbuilder may be light on story, but how many other games can you say cast you as a haunted house? Its core game …"

"Deck of Haunts has a solid foundation, but I feel as though it fails to fully deliver on its own promises. The deckbuilding gameplay is solid, if repetitive, and the game doesn’t do much to capitalize on its unique identity …"

"A haunted deck that&s;s as likely to throw you a royal flush as it is sell you down the river, Deck of Haunts satisfies in its creative cards, wickedly evil fantasy power trip and a delightfully vile concept. Its best …"

"Deck of Haunts has “good bones,” but it needs renovating with more content, better balance, and some polishing. It’s a clever combination of deck-building and house-construction strategy that is undoubtedly fresh and fun at first, but lacks the challenge to …"
