About the game
“Ah yes, this is a very interesting piece! Notice the fine craftsmanship, and that you can barely hear the otherworldly wailing emanating from it.” You and up to 3 opponents are rival antiques dealers, each of whom received an invitation to a manor home filled to the brim with very old and valuable collectibles. But when you arrive, you quickly realize that each and every item in the house has one thing in common: they are hopelessly haunted! Bringing these terrifying treasures back to your warehouse seems like a ghastly idea, but having just a few might raise your profile. Perhaps you can even convince some wealthy collectors to take some of the macabre museum pieces off your hands… Your goal is to escape the manor with the least haunted set of loot... that is, if you escape at all! —description from the publisher
