cindy85Yes Simple game with good components. It plays very fast and is remarkably enjoyable.
dannywebb85Yes  
fsumarc86Yes A 2 player game of trying to sneak your good ghosts past there ghosts and out the door while trying to trick them into capturing your bad ghosts. plays fast and is easy to teach. It's an abstract game but the ghost theme makes it more interesting.
Gecko2386Yes A fairly simple bluffing game, plays quickly with multiple winning conditions. The younger kids like it just for the ghosts, the older kids will enjoy tricking (or forcing) their opponents into capturing 'bad' ghosts.
smithhemb85Yes An elegant version of Stratego with very cute plastic ghostly bits. Each player starts out with 4 good and 4 bad ghosts. There are three possible ways to win: get one of your good ghosts all the way across/off the board without it being challenged OR capture all of your opponent's good ghosts OR induce your opponent to capture all of your bad ghosts. Turns are very simple -- you move one of your ghosts one space orthogonally (forward or backward). If you start the turn next to one of your opponent's ghosts, you have the option of moving onto its space and taking it, but, of course, you don't know whether the ghost you take will be good or bad. Since you take the ghost either way, this game doesn't have the memory aspect of Stratego; it's all about bluffing and psyching your opponent out. 2 player only. Usually plays in 15 minutes or less.
