About this board game
Ghostbusters: Blackout is a fully cooperative board game for 1–4 players, with games lasting around 45 minutes. After a major power outage strikes New York, players take on the role of Ghostbusters racing to capture the ghosts escaping from their containment unit.
The city is plunged into darkness while ghosts rampage through the streets. Players must work together to quell the chaos, capture every ghost, and keep New York from collapsing under the pressure of the outbreak.
Each turn, players roll dice and allocate the results to carry out important actions around the city. These choices help the team move into position, capture ghosts, and improve the technology needed for the escalating ghost-busting operation.
- Fully cooperative gameplay: Everyone works together toward the same goal.
- Dice allocation: Roll and assign dice to determine how the team responds.
- Ghost capture: Track down and contain the ghosts escaping into the city.
- Technology upgrades: Spend resources on upgrades for your ghost-busting tech.
- Citywide chaos: Manage the consequences of the blackout while trying to prevent collapse.
With the whole city suffering from the blackout, every decision matters. The team must balance movement, ghost-catching, and upgrades while responding to the growing disorder.
Ghostbusters: Blackout combines cooperative planning, dice-driven decisions, and a race to restore order before the situation gets out of control. It offers a focused 45-minute challenge for groups looking for a team-based ghost-busting adventure.
