About the game
Story: Ghosts Love Candy—everyone knows that! The cruel twist is that they no longer have the physical bodies to enjoy the scrumptious candy they crave. But, on Halloween, the rules are off. Ghosts use this mystical and eerie night to temporarily possess unsuspecting Trick-or-Treaters so they can indulge in as much candy as they can get their invisible hands on … Object: Use your team of ghosts to possess Trick-or-Treaters and gobble up the candy you crave. The player whose ghosts earn them the most candy points after 8 rounds wins. But be careful! When a Trick-or-Treater eats too much candy they get sick and become your burden if you were the one to push them past their candy limit. Game End: The game is over when there is no more candy left to hand out, which is 8 rounds with 2-4 players and 6 rounds with 5-6.
