Mattel - Strategy Games - Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters

Product Information

But, despite the variance in the die/cards, the game usually comes down to how the group chooses to manage the ghost threat.

Regular readers will no doubt know by now how much I enjoy a spooky atmosphere in my books, games, and movies. AHSOKA TANO: Ahsoka Tano was a female Togruta who served as Anakin Skywalker's Padawan apprentice and a Clone Wars hero. It’s like a super streamlined version of Flash Point: Fire Rescue will all of the fiddly crap removed and lots of FUN and excitement as been added! In our opinion, Ghost Fighting Treasure Hunters is the perfect gateway game for kids, (and heck, maybe some adults too, you never know. At the start of the game (and with every re-shuffle), all the doors are open, and all players can freely pass through them.Once rooms are haunted, you also then have to watch out for the cascading/snowballing effect of ghost placement. Players roll dice to determine how many spaces they move this turn and whether a new ghost is added to the board. If you have placed the third ghost in a room, you replace the three ghost tokens with a red Haunting token. It's really easy to pick up and it really gives you a sense of camaraderie playing together during the basic version.

Honestly, if you have never played this game before, we highly recommend that you check this one out!

Not only do the locked doors make it harder for you to move through the house to fight ghosts, it also impedes your way to collect and drop off the jewels.However, once a Door Locked card is revealed, it is placed next to the board, and all doors of that color are locked until the other color locked door card comes up or when all the cards are picked up for a shuffle. Each treasure hunter can only carry one gem and once you are carrying a gem you can no longer move through Hauntings. However, the “door” cards actually cause fewer ghosts to appear, which can give a bit of breathing room.

On their turn, players must roll a die, then they resolve the roll by first flipping a card that has a letter corresponding with a room on the board where then they must place a new ghost, then they are able to move their ghost fighting treasure hunter around the house the same number of spaces as the number rolled on the die so they can find treasure and/or manage the haunting situation. I’m expecting this game to now become my go-to co-op game for younger players, and a good candidate if I need a fast playing co-op on a normal game night.What does Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters Creepy Cellar add to the original award-winning kids’ game? In this form, it is more of a time management issue – when do you choose to go for the jewels and when do you choose to fight off some ghosts.
