About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a wild rush in DroPolter! The idea is simple: you have a bunch of junk in your hand and need to get rid of it by throwing the items the ghosts want. The catch? Your hand is always full, and if you throw the wrong thing, you're out for the round. Each round kicks off with flipping a card showing what the spirits are asking for. Then it's a free-for-all, a race to see who can ditch the correct items first. If you're a master at throwing the right stuff, congratulations! As a reward, you get a tiny bell. But hey, this bell goes into your hand, and you can't throw it away anymore. The game gets more intense with each bell collected, and the first to gather five of them is the grand champion! It's fast-paced fun, full of tension, and with that touch of humor only some demanding little ghosts can provide. Perfect for those who enjoy agile games with a hint of dexterity that don't require much time to learn or play. Gather your friends, because the fun and laughter are guaranteed!
