That is where we differ. IMO BaHotH works fine as a boardgame. Though it excels through the roleplaying, story, character and thematic elements, you do not need them to enjoy the game. This is why I think the game is successful in its design.

If you want to see another game that has a similar balance of elements but that fails fundamentally as a board game then check out When Darkness Comes. That game requires the players to use roleplaying to ride over broken boardgame elements.
