About this board game
Gestrudis is a 20-minute game for 3–7 players in which ghosts simultaneously communicate card concepts through mime and strange sounds.
Gestrudis has the gift of communicating with ghosts, but they do not make it easy for her. Instead of sending one clear message at a time, they all try to contact her together, creating a lively test of recognition and interpretation.
Across seven rounds, the ghosts represent the concepts shown on their cards using gestures and sounds. Their performances happen at the same time, so Gestrudis must listen, watch, and work out what each ghost is trying to express.
The goal is straightforward: if Gestrudis correctly guesses the concept represented by every ghost, you win the round. Success depends on turning unusual signals into understandable ideas while keeping track of multiple messages at once.
With its simultaneous performances and unusual communication premise, Gestrudis creates a compact group experience centered on mime, sound, and guessing. The 2024 release is designed for 3–7 players and takes about 20 minutes to play.
