About the game
Sensor Ghosts is a cooperative moving maze and hidden information puzzle for 1-4 players. Sensor Ghosts is set immediately after Assembly, however it's a completely new game and doesn't require any prior knowledge of Assembly. Story: You have escaped both the virus ridden space station and the clutches of the station’s computer. You must now make your way back to Earth in the midst of a large meteor storm but something seems to be messing with your sensors and not everything is as it seems. Did you build the ship incorrectly or has the computer somehow got on board and is now trying to thwart your escape? And can you collect a sample en-route to assist with the creation of the vaccine? Navigating through the ongoing meteor storm requires planning, strategic thinking and perhaps even a bit of risk taking, however not everything is as it seems. Working alone or with your fellow escapee, you must use your fuel wisely else you will become stranded in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, or worst, blown up by a meteor impact. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Sensor Ghosts 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 Sensor Ghosts is 20–30 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 Sensor Ghosts for ages 10 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.
Sensor Ghosts has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
