Ghosts Love Candy

About this board game

Ghosts Love Candy is a Halloween-themed game for 3–6 players, with play time of about 45 minutes. Gather your team of ghosts and possess unsuspecting trick-or-treaters so your invisible spirits can enjoy the candy they crave.

Ghosts no longer have physical bodies, but Halloween changes the rules for one eerie night. By taking control of trick-or-treaters, your ghosts can indulge in as much candy as possible and compete to earn the most candy points.

Each round brings opportunities to collect more sweets, but pushing a trick-or-treater beyond their candy limit has consequences. If you are the player who makes them eat too much, they get sick and become your burden.

• Use your team of ghosts to possess trick-or-treaters.
• Gobble up candy and earn candy points.
• Watch each trick-or-treater’s candy limit carefully.
• Avoid being responsible for making them sick.

The game ends when there is no more candy left to hand out. With 2–4 players, this takes 8 rounds; with 5–6 players, it takes 6 rounds. When the final round is complete, the player whose ghosts have earned the most candy points wins.

With its playful supernatural premise and tempting push-your-luck-style dilemma of deciding how far to go, Ghosts Love Candy turns Halloween candy collecting into a contest of careful timing. Possess, feast, and keep your trick-or-treaters from becoming an unwanted burden.
