About the game
What you do in a play session
The game is a race against time and luck. Each turn, you roll the dice to determine how many spaces you can move and, more crucially, whether a new ghost appears on the board. If you end your movement on a treasure space, congratulations! It goes into your backpack. However, if you land on a ghost, the fight begins. You'll need a lucky roll on the combat die to banish the spirit from the room.
The real danger arises when things spiral out of control: if three ghosts accumulate in the same room, that location becomes officially 'haunted'. From that point on, the battle gets serious, and you'll need the help of another player to clear the room. Cooperation is the only way out. You win if you manage to recover all eight jewels and get the entire team safely out of the house. If six rooms become haunted, the house wins, and you become just more ghosts wandering the corridors. It's a tense, fast-paced game that requires the group to organize well so that no one is left behind as the board becomes increasingly crowded with malevolent spirits.
