Halloween

About this board game

Halloween is a tactical board game for 2 to 4 players, with games lasting around 90 minutes. Each player takes the role of a demon lord commanding ghosts through a small town on Halloween night.

Summon ghosts, move them around the board, scare unfortunate humans, and fight rival ghosts as you compete to become the scariest demon lord. Success depends on careful planning and on managing multiple ghosts through the game’s distinctive action system.

During your turn, you perform three actions available on your Player Board. You may activate any ghost on the main board as long as its requirements are met, creating opportunities to expand your influence and challenge your opponents.

• Summon ghosts and move them around town.
• Scare people and fight other ghosts.
• Occupy Action Cards to gain powerful tactical options.
• Plan your actions around the requirements of the ghosts you control.

Action Cards may be occupied at any time during your turn, greatly increasing your available choices. Their tactical advantages can help you respond to the changing position of ghosts and the plans of other demon lords.

Play proceeds clockwise from the first player until the end of the game is triggered. This occurs when a player runs completely out of Haunt Tokens or occupies five Action Cards. Final scoring then takes place, and the player with the most Haunt Points wins.

Released in 2017, Halloween combines ghost management, tactical movement, confrontation, and flexible card use in a contest for supernatural supremacy. Every turn challenges you to decide how best to direct your haunting force before another demon lord claims the advantage.
