About this board game

Ghosts Love Candy Too is a Halloween-themed game for 2–6 players that plays in about 45 minutes. You take the role of a ghost seeking candy from costumed kids, using just enough of a scare to claim their treats without sending them away.

Each round, choose one of your ghost cards to bid for turn order. Once the order is resolved, select a kid to haunt, take that kid’s candy, and use the kid’s unique ability. The timing of your choices matters as you compete for the treats that best match your ghost’s preferences.

Ghosts Love Candy Too adds a playful risk to collecting sweets: ghosts want candy delight, not a fright. Treats are scored at the end of the game according to each ghost’s specific preferences, so the most valuable haul depends on which ghost cards you are using.

  • Bid with ghost cards to determine turn order.
  • Haunt costumed kids and take their candy.
  • Use each kid’s unique ability after choosing them.
  • Score treats based on your ghosts’ preferences.

This revised and expanded edition includes 100 total kids, new ghosts, and a new “junk” set of treats that you do not want to collect. Junk includes items such as toothbrushes, rocks, ketchup packets, and pennies, adding more unwanted discoveries to the neighborhood candy hunt.

Released in 2022, Ghosts Love Candy Too is a new edition of Ghosts Love Candy, originally released by Steve Jackson Games in 2016. Gather your ghosts for the one night each year when they can eat candy: Halloween.
