## Description
Good & Bad Ghosts is a quick strategy game where you command a squad of ghosts — half good, half evil, but only you know who's who. On the 6x6 board (with corners removed for extra spice), every orthogonal move could lead to victory or disaster. Triple your win conditions: ditch your bad ghosts, capture the opponent's good ones, or escape with your good ghosts through enemy lines. Simple? Not quite. The magic is in the bluffing: like Stratego, you hide your ghosts' identities, turning every clash into a mini thriller. Lightweight mechanics (just 15 minutes playtime), but every move counts. Perfect for a quick match full of 'aha!' and 'I can't believe I fell for that!' moments. Pro tip: pretending a bad ghost is good might be your masterstroke.
