About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a Ghostbusters fan and the base game just isn't enough, this Kickstarter-exclusive expansion is for you! It supercharges the experience with a ton of extra content that only campaign backers could get. You get new and veteran characters like Janine Melnitz, Kylie Griffin, and even The Rookie, ready to jump into the action. To make things more thrilling, there are new scenarios like the library and the Shandor Building rooftop, plus two gigantic and spooky bosses: Cathulhu and Boogaloo. To round it off, more bizarre ghosts and entities to cause trouble, including the classic Zuul, Vinz Clortho, Gozer, and the villain Ivo Shandor. Oh, and Walter Peck is here too to complicate everyone's lives. This collection of extras was released gradually as stretch goals were met during the crowdfunding campaign, ensuring backers received a package packed with new additions. It's the kind of stuff that makes you wish you'd backed the campaign, right? If you already own the base game and crave more challenges, more characters, and more scares, this is the perfect way to expand your Ghostbusters universe on the tabletop.
