THIS GAME HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED.
No one knows what has led each of you to this cursed house on the hill, but here you all stand, poised to enter. The previous owner was rumored to have discovered the secrets of the house. Can you recover the fragments of his diary before it’s too late? You’ll have to work together but look out for number one while doing so.
In House of Spirits, players explore a haunted house together, room by room. Along the way they will draw cards representing weapons and other items to help them survive the various beasts within. Each player gets one action per turn, so he has to balance long term strategy against short term gains. Do you risk taking on that werewolf, hoping to claim points at the risk of precious health, or leave it for someone else to deal with?
The ultimate goal of the game is to get more points than any other player. There are numerous ways to do this depending on player strategy, as well as a dash of luck.
