About the game

What you do in a play session

Above and Below: Haunted is a standalone sequel to the acclaimed Above and Below, released to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original game. In this new chapter, you and your family leave the marshlands to explore a new land of azure lakes and underground caves. But beware: ghosts haunt the buildings, and you'll need to deal with them to maintain your reputation. The game retains the village-building, villager recruitment, and cave exploration mechanics but introduces new features like ghosts, two types of caves (normal and dangerous), new buildings, boats, and adventure cards. With 40 unique adventure cards, each exploration is a new story. Get ready for a mix of strategy, narrative, and a touch of the supernatural!
