Mattel - Strategy Games - Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters

Product Information

The first several rounds feel pretty harmless, but once the ghosts accumulate and hauntings start occurring, people start to realize that the game can be quickly lost. The ghostly theme fits perfectly, even more so than the other firemen game, which I find a bit tedious.

One of our family’s favorite video games to play together is Luigi’s Mansion, and Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters makes us happy for many of the same reasons. These also work the same as the base game but now also have you shuffle the Ghost King deck as well as the Ghost Deck. With such a low track record, we haven’t yet tried the cool-looking advanced version which locks certain doors and requires gems be picked up in a certain (hidden! Let us know in the comments, and please tell us if you’ve tried Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters yet. While it may be marketed to kids, this game has more than enough meat on it for hobby board gamers to enjoy, especially when you play at the higher difficulty settings.

What does Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters Creepy Cellar add to the original award-winning kids’ game? These tiles indicate a connection between the room they are in and all other rooms with Secret Passage Tiles. There can only be two ghosts in a room at a time, flip a card that tells you you need to add a third ghost to a room and that room becomes a haunt. It’s the best kids’ game I’ve ever played, a game that’s just as much fun for kids as it is for adults. Players then take turns being the active player – this means that their player token is the one moving on that turn; however, all players can cooperate and discuss how to move that player.It's really easy to pick up and it really gives you a sense of camaraderie playing together during the basic version. Don’t let the artwork and cute ghost miniatures fool you into thinking this game will be just an easy kids game. You get to roll both of the battle die and if either die comes up with a Haunting icon then you have defeated the Haunting and it leaves the board. If they are in a room with a ghost or haunt they must fight that ghost or haunt at the end of their turn if able. Strangely, despite all the extra barriers the game seems to be throwing against the players, it (at least on the basis of the plays so far) does not seem to be considerably harder to win.

In addition to freeing up your backpack to hold treasure and letting you leave the house, you also get one additional benefit for dropping off a Jinxed Item into the appropriate room: you get to place a discarded Secret Passage tile back into play. It must teach them how game mechanics work in a fun way so they learn and grow in their gaming ability while playing. With this Kai and Ras's Car and Bike Battle ninja toy for kids aged 4+, young ninjas can reenact events from the NINJAGO Dragons Rising TV series. They duck in and out of the hallways, into bathrooms and various bedrooms - and they’re bustin’ ghosts along the way.If a player wants to fight a ghost, they must enter a room where a ghost is and roll a fighting die in an attempt to rid the house of the ghost.

If they end their turn in a square with a Treasure Token they can pick it up by putting it into the backpack on their miniature. We tried the “basic” game first, and with a bit of “grab the closest gems first” and ignoring the ghost build-up we managed to just barely lose.Winner of the coveted 2014 Kinderspiel des Jahres (Children’s Game of the Year) award, recognizing it as an exceptional game for families. Disney Princess construction item suitable for all genders - This Belle's Storytime Horse Carriage set helps children (age 5 and above) envision tales from Beauty and the Beast. The Jinxed Items make it harder to collect the treasure tokens, but then also give you a way to unlock used Secret Passages. Enter a room with a jewel and you can pick it up and place it in your backpack where it’ll stay as you make your way out of the house on your next turn.
