Spooky Stairs

2003 · Children's Game

Spooky Stairs

Children race up a haunted staircase to reach the ghost at the top. Each turn players roll an enchanted die to advance their pawn or, on a special face, place a ghost token over another player’s pawn and hide which piece belongs to whom. A magnetic mechanic links ghost tokens and pawns so transformed players must remember which ghost conceals their piece while play continues. Ghost tokens can be swapped later, creating shifting positions and hidden identities until someone reaches the top of the stairs.

    Joc interessant perfecte amb mainada, però amb adolescents i adults és un joc massa infantil. Interesting game perfect for children, but with teenagers and adults it is too childish a game.
