Description

Get ready to explore the creepy House of Spirits, a haunted house on the hill where you'll need to work together with your friends, but also keep an eye out for number one. You're all here for the same reason, to recover the fragments of the previous owner's diary, rumored to hold the secrets of the house. As you move room by room, you'll draw cards representing weapons and other items to help you survive the terrifying beasts within. With each player getting only one action per turn, you'll need to balance your long-term strategy against short-term gains, deciding whether to take on that werewolf for points or leave it for someone else to deal with. In this easy-to-learn game, designed by Mark Thomas, you'll use dice rolling, hand management, and variable player powers to outscore your opponents. With 2 to 4 players, a 30-minute playtime, and a mix of horror and exploration, House of Spirits is a thrilling experience that combines strategy and luck. First published in 2010, this base game is a great introduction to the world of card games and horror-themed fun. As you navigate the house, you'll need to make tough decisions and use your wits to come out on top, earning the most points to win the game. Will you be the one to uncover the secrets of the House of Spirits, or will you become its latest victim?
