SPOOKY STAIRS

THE CARD GAME

(Geistertreppe das Kartenspiel)

Children are tiptoeing through the ruins, and the old ghost has played a trick on them and turned them into temporary ghosts, too. Where are the children? Four children cards are placed ghost side up next to the spot of their color on the round board, the white positions is empty at the start of the game. You turn up a card from the stack, place it onto the discard pile and act according to the card: If you did turn up a child you try to find the child of this color and turn up one of the cards at the board – if you did find the child, you receive the discard pile and the child is turned over again. If you turn up a switch card you switch two of the children at the board without looking at them. If you turn up a slide card you move any child to the white position at the board, again without looking at it. If the “guess” card appears you may guess at the color of the child in the white position at the board, if there is a child card currently in this spot. If you guess correctly you receive the discard pile. When the spot is empty or if your guess is wrong, your move simply ends. When both decks have been used up the player with most cards wins.

The rules offer a “risk” version for children ages 6 and up: If you turn up the guess card, you can either pass or take a risk. To take a risk you choose one of the cards at the board and ask a fellow player which child is hiding beneath. If the other player answers wrongly you get the stack yourself, for a correct answer the other player gets the stack. In this attractive and handy version of the board game fun and atmosphere have been 100% transferred.
