Ghosts

You play ghost cards and try to avoid pushing the fright level past Seven. Cards show one, two or three ghosts. You start with five cards from the face-down stack and three fright points. In turn, you play a card, announce the fright level and draw a card; a card in a different color to that of the top card on the discard pile increases the fright level by the number of ghosts on the card. For a card in the same color the fright level stays the same, but direction of play chances. A Mist card does not change fright level or direction of play. If you have to pass seven, you take the discard pile and a fright point. The round ends if you need to play a card and don’t have one anymore. If you then have no stack, you may discard up to three fright points. After three rounds, you win with fewest fright points.
