Die verdrehte Spuknacht is a board game released in 2024 for 1–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 5 and up. It was designed by Wolfgang Lehmann and Wolfgang Dirscherl and its main mechanics are Cooperative Game.
The three magicians stand in amazement in front of the huge gates of the old castle, which have just opened as if by magic. “Shall we dare to go in and see if this place is really haunted?” Conrad asks a little frightened. “Yes, together as a team we can do it!” answer Vicky and Mila in unison. But again the gates are creaking ... Will the three of them be able to explore the ancient rooms and find their way out in time before the haunted castle closes its gates again until the next full moon? For one thing is certain: If ghosts are really up to mischief here, they will do anything to stop our three curious magicians!
Die verdrehte Spuknacht supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it.
