Mattel - Strategy Games - Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters

Product Information

Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters isn’t new on the market, in fact, it came out in 2013 and won the Kinderspiel des Jahres in 2014. If they end their movement in a space with a treasure, they may pick it up and place it in their backpack. There is one Cursed Treasure Tile that reduces your movement by one, one that makes you draw two ghost cards each turn instead of one, one that requires you to have an ally with you when fighting, one that stops you from using the secret passages we just talked about, one terrible one that adds a ghost to the room you are in before moving and one that pins you if you are in a room with a ghost. The deck distribution makes the draw cards less punishing, but now all the treasure tokens are cursed and each has a rather nasty drawback, which really amps the difficulty up, but then you have the Secret Passages that make these new treasure tiles easier to deliver. Anche la sfida ai fantasmi è divertente, eseguita sempre in modo semplice con lancio di dadi sfida dedicati.

I love co-op games and whilst this is undoubtedly aimed at the family market, it makes for a really quick and light co-op fun for adults too. I felt the basic game was a little “tight” and was hesitant to make the game harder (particularly with my younger boys. The most common type of card gives the letter of one of the rooms in the mansion, including the two new rooms in the cellar. Before getting into the gameplay of Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters Creepy Cellar, I have to start by raving about the component quality here. Another thing to note is that all of the cards and tokens are language independent and use artwork and iconography to get across what they mean.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. You roll a dice to move, but if it lands on one with a ghost (which it usually does), you have to put a ghost down wherever the card you have to pick up says.

Now available in English, this delightful game is the winner of the coveted 2014 Kinderspiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) award, recognizing it as an exceptional game for families. There are more options on each turn, more potential paths to take and more to worry about with the curses, jinxed items, and of course the Ghost King. Playability is repetitive as you travel back and forth to drop off each gem you collect but the game comes with alternative modes that add tougher challenges and that adds replayability.But I have no shame to admit that the original version of the game - simply trying to get the treasures out by any means necessary before six rooms are haunted - is still quite enough challenge for us. With more action decks, trap doors, and secret passageways, this expansion takes the original game and adds even more chilling, ghost-fighting thrills! Instead of a bunch of modules, you get a totally new mode of play, something that, to me, actually feels more like Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters 2.
