Ghostbusters the Board Game

Product Information

It punishes players with REAL LIFE consequences, sucking away their life one hour at a time by making them play this game even longer! The likeness rights of a collection of TV series actors stand a good chance of being significantly smaller than the likeness rights of motion picture actors. These free manuever can be used at any time during your turn, and you can perform a second maneuver at the cost of an action.

Of course, you can skip all the waiting and jump into something you’ve concocted to romp around in for a half hour. The hardest gameplay mechanic for me to wrap my head around were all the rules associates with line of sight, but I got used to it after a few games. At the end of each round the Event die is rolled which has symbols matching the five different gate tokens inscribed upon its six sides.As players gain experience f and gets rid of the witches turning the kids to mice to instead placing scare masks on the playing pieces.

Every Ghostbusters earns XP for the same standard thing - busting Ghosts and closing Gates - while each one also earns XP for another thing unique to them. The ECTO-1 has arrived on the street, with all four Ghostbusters in tow, and three open gateways are surrounded by a multitude of ghosts of varying strengths. But I find myself in the surreal situation of wanting to support an in-print game and being told by the manufacturer that they won't sell me anything. This means that by the time you’re facing off against big nasties like Slimer or the Marshmallow Man, your team members will feel more like individual characters, each with their own specialties, rather than just four carbon copies.In "The Halloween Door," there is a segment where he sings and dances upon crossing over to New York City. Each one removes one of your actions - you normally have two a turn, though after enough XP is gained you can have three.

It’s as close to “Ghostbusters 3” as you’re going to get (what with the actual actors voicing the characters) and is probably going to be better than the upcoming movie with the all-female cast.In the end we did victor but this definitely felt the biggest5 challenge of the lot, especially as Slime tokens were shooting out the gates left and right. This adds a nice sense of progression to the game, and if that isn’t your thing then there’s always three standalone boss battles to try out, or you can build your own custom scenarios. The actions include moving, driving, firing a proton stream, depositing a trap, and removing slime from yourself or another Ghostbuster. Sitting about 3ft from me right now is the Ghostbusters blu-ray, a movie that has been watched frequently. You could say it had a lot of worrying about slime and gates and not enough about Busting ghosts, and the first game didn’t even use traps.

But Stay Puft himself can’t do anything more than shove Ghostbusters backward and slime them, so play devolves into players mindlessly rolling attacks before Stay Puft can reach his goal at the top of the board. As it’s co-op, as well, I might see if I can convince my wife to try it out with me, but she isn’t a fan of the source material at all, so I’m not sure how successful I would be there!

So when I head a Ghostbusters board game was being Kickstarted made I was naturally excited, especially when it cleared its funding with ease. And these movements are usually random, so the damn thing ends up out of your range or line of sight, and then you have to start the whole process over! I have a week off coming up, so hopefully I’ll be able to give this game another spin sooner rather than later!
