2009 · Expansion for Base-game
Ghost Stories: White Moon
Monks must rescue villagers from invading ghosts while continuing to exorcise spirits across the village. At setup, villagers occupy most village tiles and a Moon Portal sits on the remaining tile; villagers can follow monks and are rescued by escorting them to the Moon Portal and taking a rescue action. Families of 1–3 villagers grant rewards when fully rescued, ranging from small bonuses to powerful items that affect exorcisms or movement. Some ghosts can kill villagers directly, haunted tiles or forced flight can also cause deaths, and when a whole family is killed the players suffer that family’s curse.

Tom9.0 A great expansion, adds tension in the villagers, but doesn't detract from the main game. A must-buy if you like the original game.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Do villagers move on their own, and can I move any villager in a stack?
No. Villagers move only with a Taoist, and only the top villager in a stack can move; villagers also cannot be on or move through a haunted tile. (p. 4)
When I’m at the Portal, can I save a villager and also use the village tile’s action?
No. Saving the top villager, using the tile’s action, and attempting an exorcism are alternative actions. A saved villager goes to the Shelter, and you get the family reward as soon as all its members are saved. (p. 5)
What happens if a ghost tries to haunt a tile with villagers on it?
All villagers on the targeted tile are killed, but the tile does not become haunted. Apply each killed villager’s negative effect; if the tile is empty when targeted, it is haunted normally. (pp. 5–6)
Do Moon Crystals count as Tao tokens, and how can I use them?
They can be spent during exorcisms as Tao tokens of any color, but they are not Tao tokens for other rules that refer to Tao tokens. You can also place a crystal in an empty Receptacle from an adjacent village corner during step 3 of your Yang phase; it must have been acquired on a previous turn. (p. 7)
How many villagers can die before we lose?
The players lose immediately when the 12th villager is killed. The base game’s other losing conditions and victory condition still apply. (p. 3)
