About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a thrilling amusement park adventure in Ghostbumpers! Monsters have invaded the fairground, and your only escape is a wild bumper car ride, but be careful not to lose your nerve! This trick-taking game offers a unique twist: you don't want to win too many rounds, as each one carries the risk of getting scared. It's a tense balance between bravery and panic! The bolder you play, the more points you can earn, but one wrong move and your sanity (and points!) are gone! It's a race against fear, where every decision counts to see who will be the first to scream 'Help!'. Perfect for those who enjoy a quick game with a dash of luck, strategy, and a fun, chaotic theme. Ideal for playing with family or friends who love a good laugh and a bit of light tension. With games lasting between 15 to 30 minutes and supporting up to 6 players, Ghostbumpers ensures fun for everyone without getting bogged down. The vibrant art and accessible mechanics make the experience even more immersive and enjoyable. Who will dare to take on the challenge and emerge unscathed (or almost) from this emotional rollercoaster?
