Ghosts vs Cats társasjáték

Angol leírás

Next to an old abandoned mansion stands a colossal tree on one side and a shadowy graveyard on the other. Cats dwell high up in the branches; ghosts haunt beneath the tombstones. Both sides are desperate to claim the mansion for themselves, but they cannot stand each other: whenever a curious cat meets a wandering ghost in the same room, someone gets spooked away!

In Ghosts vs. Cats, you are neither cat nor ghost. You are a clever puppet-master pulling strings in the shadows, deciding who dares to venture forth, who infiltrates the mansion, and who ends up fleeing in terror.

Gameplay Overview

Played over several rounds, players receive a hand of cards representing cats and ghosts across five different colors. Each round unfolds in four phases:

Deal & Place: Each player secretly plays one card face down on the Tree, one on the Graveyard, and one on the House, stacking them in order. The remaining cards are stashed face down in their personal play area.
Reveal the Tree & Graveyard: Territories are resolved. In each location, the local side defends its home (cats in the Tree, ghosts in the Graveyard). However, if there is *exactly one* visitor card, it becomes the "Brave Card" and successfully sneaks into the House while the locals flee. If two or more visitors arrive, they ruin each other's stealth, allowing all locals to enter!

Resolve the House: Cards that successfully infiltrated the House enter room by room (color by color) from top to bottom. Whenever a cat enters a room occupied by a ghost of the same color (or vice versa), it spooks one opponent card away to the discard pile.
Reveal & Collect: Players reveal the cards saved in their private area and organize them into scoring groups by color and faction.

Scoring & End of Game

When the deck is exhausted, the game concludes. Players score each of their personal collections through a dynamic multiplier:

The cards in your play area multiplied by the cards of the same color and type in the house.

A collection is only valuable if its matching faction and color managed to establish control inside the mansion without getting spooked out! The player with the highest total score wins.
