📖 About This Game
Watch the skeleton bones appear as you race against the ghost to uncover hidden treasures. A haunting game of suspense for all ages. The object of the game is to collect as many treasure items as possible before the skeleton is completed in the centre of the board.
Players roll two dice (one red and one white) and move around the house collecting cards from each cupboard in the different rooms. The face down cards can be treasures of varying values or special power cards or one of the eight parts of the skeleton.
In addition to the moving their own pawn (according to the number on the red die) players also move the ghost (according to the white die). With the ghost they can attempt to steal cards from the other players!
The winner is the player with the most treasure points when all eight skeleton pieces have been fitted together.
