About the game
In Ghosts Galore you're helping monsters to build a fun ghost train in an abandoned mineshaft. Every monster want's the track tiles laid their way - so YOU have to keep them calm, coordinate and optimize their track. Over the course of 8 rounds, each player builds a unique track on their 3x3 playground for the ghost train. This family friendly tile placement game comes with a unique drafting mechanism and is quick to play while offering various strategies: Will you stick with your drafted tile or go for a bold move which brings you even more scares? After only 8 rounds, all tracks are set and the project is done. Sounds easy? Well, only the master who lines up the best scares, wins! Ghosts Galore is Manufactured from FSC-certified material. —description from the publisher
