About the game
Boo-ty Call is a party game of deduction and seduction where lonely mediums interpret cryptic answers from a sexy ghost in a race to score! Imagine if Guess Who and Red Flags had a spooky baby. That would be this game! One player will be acting as a Ghost, looking to get a little lively with the living. They will draw a Ghost Profile card and learn their secret identity before shuffling it with 7 other profile cards and placing them face up on the table in view of all players in a 2 x 4 grid. All the other players will be acting as Mediums looking to be the first to correctly guess the ghost player’s identity from among the 8 face up Ghost Profile cards on the table. They will do this by asking the Ghost player questions using Séance cards. However, the Ghost has a hard time communicating across the veil and will be restricted in how they share their information based on the séance performed. The types of séances may require the ghost to knock their answers, use charades, make faces, or use non-verbal sounds to clue the mortal morsels in to their identity. There are limited chances to perform these rituals and if you take too long, the Ghost thinks you're playing games and the round will end. When a Medium thinks they know who the Ghost is they can tap the card on the board. If they tap correctly, they successfully hooked up and both they and the Ghost score a point. If they tap the wrong Ghost, they have made an awkward misjudgment and won't be able to guess again this round. Then the Medium to the left of the Ghost becomes the next Ghost and play continues in this manner until someone has 5 points and is declared the winner! -description from designer
