Dead by Daylight™: The Board Game Gatekeeper Expansion

The new Survivor perks completely change how my group approaches each match, and the 3-5 player count means we can finally include an extra friend. Setup was quick and the whole round stayed under an hour, just as advertised. Such a simple expansion but it adds a ton of replayability.

Getting to play as the new Survivors instead of just the original roster is what sold me, and their unique perks actually shift how you plan your escape route. Three to five players keeps it tight and the 45-minute games mean we usually run two or three in an evening.

The new Survivor perks genuinely change how you plan your escapes, and my group finished a 4-player game in about 45 minutes without it feeling rushed. Fits seamlessly into the base game too, no weird rule conflicts.
