About the game
The old clock tower is striking midnight! The three ghost hunters quickly reload their green goo ammunition in their handmade power pistols and enter the castle. Let the ghost hunt begin! Together in Ghost Blaster, the players try to hit and trap the ghosts with the right amount of goo. Players must roll the dice in sequence and reveal the ghosts using the ghost hunter cards. Once the players have three of the same ghost cards face up, this ghost is caught and can no longer escape. But careful! If the players accidentally uncover a keyhole card, the ghost hunter is caught in the trap and must then go into the dungeon. Players can free him but that takes up valuable time! Their objective is to capture all of the ghosts before the ghost hour is over.

Questions and answers
Ghost Blaster 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. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Ghost Blaster is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Ghost Blaster for ages 5 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Ghost Blaster has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
