Asmodee Ghost Stories Board Game

Product Information

This game comes from the creators of Eldritch Horror and Arkham Horror, so you can expect a similar experience. It is recommended for veteran gamers, but can also be played by beginners. Like Holmes himself, players take their time exploring and deciphering clues, and it's a quieter, more leisurely game.

This game has endless replay-ability, with different enemies that require different strategies to defeat and constant new challenges. It's rated for players 13 and up, and takes up to an hour to play. It's for 2-5 players over the age of 13, in a tension-filled survival scenario where each player makes crucial decisions for themselves and everyone. Battling ghosts involve rolling the battle die and trying to get enough matching color symbols to equal the ghosts power. Players can also use their colored tokens to aid in this fight. Succeed and the ghost is banished to the discard pile, fail and you will have to try again next turn.The game is named for the Japanese word “Hanabi,” which means “fireworks,” and your goal is simple: to be able to launch a spectacular fireworks display at the end of the game. Last Bastion is a cooperative tower defense game in which you’re trying to defend your fort against a horde of monsters and stay alive long enough to defeat the Warlord. This is kind of a fantasy remake of Ghost Stories, one of the toughest co-op board games ever made (and one of the best cooperative games out there).

In my gaming group, we used to have one person play the mayor of the town to talk through this opening sequence and not take part in the game. But the game publishers, Bezier Games, have released a free One Night app to talk people through it. The app even includes spooky music! That said, having won twice in eight plays (albeit at the easiest setting), surely this is easier than Ghost Stories, a game I never won?

Since it is a cooperative game, you have to strategize with your teammates and make sure that all enemies are defeated. You either win or lose together.
