Board Game: Ghooost!
• After a close brush with death and a reminder of how fleeting our existences truly are, I'm here to give an overview of how to play Richard Garfield's Ghooost!, a card game from IELLO that is due out in the U.S. and Europe in, respectively, late February and March 2013. I had not intended to go on at such length about the game – and despite all the cuts in the video most of the material comes from a single, long take – but I suppose thoughts of my soft mortality gave me an adrenaline high and pushed me to gab at length. (Note that the actual player count for Ghooost! is 2-6, not 2-8 as is shown on the preliminary box cover used in the video and on the intro screen.)
