Read the full game description
Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters is a cooperative family game in which every player enters the same cheerful-but-spooky house with one shared objective: carry all eight treasure jewels outside before six rooms become haunted. A movement die sends hunters through rooms and corridors and can also add another ghost to a specific room. End beside a ghost and you may roll the fight die; three ghosts in one room turn into a haunting, which takes at least two hunters working together to remove. Carrying treasure slows the team’s options, and the advanced game adds numbered jewels and locked doors that force tighter coordination. The rules are approachable for children, but the escalating board creates meaningful questions about route planning, rescue priorities, and when to gather for a joint fight. Everyone wins or loses together.
