Ghost Stories: Band of Brothers is an expansion for Ghost Stories released in 2014 for 1–4 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Antoine Bauza and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Area Movement, and Dice Rolling.
Ghost Stories: Band of Brothers consists of four ghosts and one aspect of Wu Feng that were previously available with the Guardhouse tile; they disable (but do not haunt) village tiles as long as they are present on the game board. The 5 new ghosts pay homage to 5 real world people involved with the creation of Ghost Stories: Bauza, Provoost, Caumont, Pierô and Coralie.
Ghost Stories: Band of Brothers 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 Stories: Band of Brothers is 60 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 Stories: Band of Brothers for ages 12 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 Stories: Band of Brothers has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight 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.
