The game takes place on a 6×6 board representing a haunted castle, and it involves players controlling eight ghosts, four of which are good and four of which are evil. The objective is to capture the opponent’s good or evil ghosts, and the game can be won by moving one of the good ghosts through one of the exits at the opposing side of the board.

The game has been well-received and is considered a classic board game for its unique blend of strategy and supernatural elements.

Gameplay Mechanics and Objective

The goal of the game is to capture the opponent’s good or evil ghosts, either by moving one of the good ghosts through one of the exits at the opposing side of the board or by capturing all of the opponent’s good or evil ghosts.
