Mattel - Strategy Games - Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters

Product Information

Just as you would never expect a successful divide-and-conquer approach in a horror movie (“Why would you split up and go down into the dark, cobwebby basement all by yourself? The game is easy to learn and great to play, and it gets the whole family invested and working together.

I have also been able to teach this to a group of 3 rd graders who were able to play the basic game on their own by midway through the first game – and that’s a wonderful trait to have in a game that can also be played by adults.I could see the randomness of the dice may make a given game go south or be too easy, but it also serves as a great bit of suspense.

After one game he'd nailed the rules enough that he could play solo if he wanted to, and 2 or 3 games in he was able to teach the game to mom. Players win if they can get all eight treasures and their whole team out of the house; they lose if all six hauntings are on the board. And if a room already has a Haunting and you're supposed to add a ghost to it, the ghost moves to the next letter of the alphabet and is placed in that room instead. Not only do the locked doors make it harder for you to move through the house to fight ghosts, it also impedes your way to collect and drop off the jewels. There is also an Advanced Game that has you use the original tokens again but now they have to be delivered so that they are placed on the matching number in the cellar.Before getting into the gameplay of Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters Creepy Cellar, I have to start by raving about the component quality here. The cooperative play makes for exciting and unified game strategies with less trash talking ( well at each other anyway). I know Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters was award winning a few years back, but see shockingly little recommendation for it. Every single turn comes with a chance to add a new ghost to the mansion, and if three ghost pieces (very awesome ghost pieces) are in the same room, they are replaced by a spooky haunting piece. With this Kai and Ras's Car and Bike Battle ninja toy for kids aged 4+, young ninjas can reenact events from the NINJAGO Dragons Rising TV series.

The game is won by the players if all eight treasure tokens are removed from the house and dropped off AND all the players are outside the house. So if a card for Room C is drawn but Room C already has a Haunting, the ghost would be placed in Room D. On the other hand, the expansion version is still significantly easier than Nightmare mode from the original.What the Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters Creepy Cellar Expansion does is change up the gameplay in Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters in a number of ways.
