Ghost Hunters

Ghost Hunters is a board game where one part of the players controls some haunting ghosts while the rest of the players control the ghost hunters. The goal for the ghosts is to scare all the residents out of their homes - the ghost hunters' goal is to banish the ghosts before this happens.

Each turn the ghosts draws new haunts which are cards they can play on the rooms in the houses to scare the people residing inside. Some people are easier to scare with some haunts, than others. If, for example, one person is afraid of darkness, then he/she will flee several rooms towards the exit if the lights go out.

The ghost hunters, in turn, can draw and play cards to dispell the haunts. They can also try to figure out which types of ghosts are haunting the houses, as not all ghosts can use all types of haunts. If the ghost hunters figure out which ghosts are present, they can try to banish them with the right cards. Lastly, the ghost hunters can also spend cards to try to calm down the residents so they won't flee from their homes.



The game is loosely inspired by the computer game GHOST MASTER for PC.
