About the game
Spanta is a game in which we will be custodians of a cemetery, our objective will be to capture ghosts and return them to their corresponding place, but not all of them count. We will have to pay attention to our objective card since it will indicate what shapes and colors of ghost will give you points at the end of the game. To do this we must get different combinations of dice to meet the requirements of the ghosts (pairs, straight, equals...) —user summary Spanta es un en el que seremos custodios de un cementerio, nuestro objetivo será capturar fantasmas y devolverlos a su lugar correspondiente, pero no todos valen. Tendremos que hacer caso a nuestra carta de objetivo ya que ella te indicará qué formas y colores de fantasma te darán puntos al final de la partida. Para ello deberemos conseguir diferentes combinaciones de dados para cumplir con los requisitos de los fantasmas (pares, escalera, iguales…) —user summary (Spanish)

Questions and answers
Spanta supports 2–4 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 Spanta 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 Spanta 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.
Spanta has a complexity rating of 1.5 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.
