Description

In Ghost Hunter: Angels & Demons, you'll embark on a thrilling adventure to capture divine and demonic entities, all while competing against other ghost hunters. This card game, designed by Kedric Winks, is a treat for 2 to 6 players who are ready to outsmart and outmaneuver each other. With a playtime of just 10 to 30 minutes, you can dive into the world of angels and demons without making a huge time commitment. The game's simple rules make it easy to learn, but don't be fooled - the strategies can get complex, requiring a mix of skill and luck to come out on top. As you play, you'll take turns laying down cards on a central stack, trying to outdo your opponents with higher and higher values. If you can't match or beat the current top card, you'll be forced to pick up the entire stack, which can be a major setback. But with the right cards, you can turn the game in your favor. Special rules and abilities on certain cards allow you to manipulate the game state, giving you an edge over your opponents. You'll need to choose which type of entity to specialize in capturing - angels or demons - to maximize your bonuses and boost your score. With gothic-inspired artwork featuring angels and daemons from holy lore, the game's theme is immersive and engaging. The goal is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards, which will trigger the end of the game. Then, you'll tally up your score, counting the points for the cards you captured and subtracting the points for the cards you couldn't get rid of. The player with the highest score will be declared the winner, but don't get too confident - victory is never guaranteed until the final scores are counted. As a standalone game, Ghost Hunter: Angels & Demons offers a fun and challenging experience, and it can also be combined with other Ghost Hunter decks for added variety and replayability.
