Ghosts Galore^*

Ghosts Galore (German: Massenweise Monster) is a quick, family-friendly tile-laying game by Michael Luu, published by Lookout Games. 2 to 5 players aged 10 and up build a ghost train over 8 rounds, in about 20 minutes according to the box. Easy to teach, with several strategies to explore.

What's it about?

In an abandoned mineshaft, you help monsters build a ghost train. Every monster wants the track laid its own way, so you have to keep them calm, coordinate and optimise your track.

How it plays

1. Each round, take a track tile through a unique drafting mechanism.
2. Place it on your own 3x3 grid.
3. After 8 rounds all tracks are done, and whoever lines up the best scares wins.

What makes it special?

The draft has a twist: stick with the tile you drafted, or make a bold move for even more scares. A small push-your-luck element in an otherwise compact tile-layer. It is part of Lookout's GreenLine, which the publisher says is manufactured 100% eco-friendly.

Who is it for?

Families and mixed groups who want a short, humorous tile-laying game.

Conclusion

Short, funny and a little risky. Not for those after long, deep strategy.
