This gives you time to appreciate the game's artwork. There's a lot to consider, yet not so much that it becomes overwhelming. Certain ghost cards can add or discard Haunts when collected, too.

The cards that decide how many spaces those hitchhiking ghosts move may add bonuses or disadvantages. That's the Haunted Mansion board game all over: it's a game of risk and reward. How desperately do you need that one ghost, and how far are you willing to go in order to get it? While it's an unusual system (we didn't end up using it much as it didn't seem worth the hassle), it does add an element of risk in theory. The catch? Unfortunately, both players must then take a number of Haunts equal to their bet. Indeed, whoever bids the highest number - from zero to three - wins or keeps the ghost card. Similarly, you can duel for an opponent's ghost cards as well. This makes sure the ghosts have the maximum chance of passing through other players. If your go is after someone else, for instance, you can use an action to move yourself and your opponents somewhere different via the spinnable, never-ending corridor. The Hitchhiking Ghosts also give The Haunted Mansion board game a duplicitous edge. As such, clearing the deck wastes precious time that could be spent collecting the ghosts you need to win. You can use an action each turn to remove a Haunt card and decrease your chances of having the most Haunts, but you only have three actions to begin with.

Because these are kept secret from everyone else, you can never tell how many Haunts your opponent is sitting on.Д«esides keeping you guessing, this adds something for you to juggle. These range in value from one to three, and players with the highest Haunt score at the end of the game will be penalised. If they pass through your token, you have to draw a random 'Haunt' card. Getting in your way are the three famous Hitchhiking Ghosts, and they'll be roaming the board's rooms at random in a bid to escape. Those who don't watch the bigger picture as well are due some trouble, though.
