Congratulations: you are the proud owner of a magnificent mansion! Too bad it's haunted! It's up to you to chase away its unwanted occupants before dawn by scaring them with even scarier ghosts, even if it means sending them into your neighbours' garden! Ghooost! is a fast and clever card game in which players will try to get rid of all their cards as quickly as possible: those from their hand, of course, but especially those from their personal deck, or "mansion". But there is no question of touching it before the common deck is exhausted, nor while they still have cards in hand!
Each player is dealt 4 cards, as well as a personal deck, the size of which varies according to the number of players. In turn, each player must play a card equal to or greater than the one played previously, or pick up all the cards in play, and then draw until they have 4 cards in hand. You can play 2 or 3 identical cards to immediately play another round. A square can be played on any other card, and sends all cards in play to the discard pile (the "graveyard"). Instead of picking up the cards, a player may also try to play the first card from the deck, which he should take with all the others if it is not strong enough.
There are 7 types of special cards (with a coloured background) whose effects spice up the game: The red cards (3 and 12) can only be covered by other red cards. Yellow cards (1 and "Kitty") can always be played (even on red cards). Kitty also makes the next player skip his turn. The 8 (blue) changes the direction of play. The 11 (blue) allows you to discard the cards in play and play again immediately. Miss Copy (blue X) is used to form combinations by copying the value of the card(s) it is played with.
Once the common draw pile is exhausted, the players try to empty the cards one by one from their manor. If a player has no cards in their hand at the beginning of their turn, they play the first card from their deck. The last player with any cards left in his hand loses the round and takes a "Boo!" chip. The other player gets 1 point, plus 1 bonus point for the first to get rid of his cards, and 2 points for the last!
