About the game
Four friendly ghosts lived in their big old mansion for centuries. They had tons of fun scaring and tricking the villagers and throwing their cute but, of course, horrifying parties. What a wonderful afterlife! The ghosts loved inviting guests, but not every one of them was so grateful for the invitation… A creepy Monster decided to have their mansion all to itself, so it kicked them out and nestled in the attic to play the ghosts’ favorite video games non-stop. The little ghosts need your help! Together with them, you will explore the graveyard looking for keys to the rooms and the attic, find your way around traps, accumulate power, and then use it to get their sweet, spooky home back, sending the ungrateful Monster to its world. But be careful! The Monster becomes more powerful every round. Throw the dice and think through all your moves together!

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The Attic Monster for ages 5 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.
The Attic Monster has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
