The Ghost Busters re-theme makes sense, but my first thought was that this would be prefect for a Luigi's Mansion version. Mattel should probably give Nintendo a call.
Totally agree. This is a great game, and really not easy to beat using the advanced rules. I'm considering getting the English version at some point, but the original German is just fine. As long as you know the rules (which you can get online in English), the actual components are 99% text-free.
I believe the components are 100% text free (unless you count the production text on the lower right corner of the board). I just bought an Eastern European edition of the game, with rules in five languages I totally don’t understand, and the English rules on-line make the game completely playable.
Finally an English version! This is the one I've been trying to tell you about. We have the German version called "Geister Geister Schatsuchmeister!" and it is definitely the current family favorite in our house. Glad you like it cause this game is excellent! A must own for families with kids in my opinion. Fun for all ages.
love this game and so do my kids. game night each week has this one coming up more often than not. tight race between this and rush and bash but it’s so much quicker. fun challenging, excellent.
Just got this game and wondering if when you get to a room haunted or with ghost you need to 'fight' or you can go thru another room and ignore the ghost? thanks in advance!
One thing Tom did not say is that it is not exactly "roll and move". Instead of "roll 4, move 4", it is "roll 4, move anywhere from 0 to 4". You may want to stay in the room and fight a ghost, or you only need to move 2 to get a gem.
Played this a couple of times with my sons (8&5). Complete echo from me: Good game to get everyone in the boat, launch some tactics, lay out plans, fail, try again, succeed, nice.
The advanced rules are a nut to crack. Lots of randomness to beat in the adversity as well, but my wife and I did not mind. In the contrary: We wanted to beat this thing at least once. We did and of course told the kids :).

Actually it wasn't only nominated for the Kinderspiel des Jahres, it won!
and I agree, excellent family game :)
I love when Tom gets so excited!
3:12 What was that? Sorry didn't catch what you said...what does the Shuffle cards do?

My family and I are currently on a 4 game losing streak against the ghosts...

A truly wonderful game, my kids love it and the excitement grabs the whole family, great review Tom.
Want this! Any idea if Cool Stuff will be getting it in stock? It's also not on Amazon.
Fab game and great review(as always!) 👍🏻👍🏻
GFTH is a good name, but nothing compares with yelling "Geister, Geister, Schatzsuchmeister!" everytime you want to talk about this game.
Agreed!

Alan Lopez did you ever figure this out?
Is it the exact same as the German version - just in English?

Playing numbers alphabetically? That's gonna be tough.
I think even in London you can't buy red bowler hats, where can you buy them ?
London. At a hat stand. :)
Twas in Spitalfields Market, in case you're interested!
Love this game. Beautiful art and components.
I love this game! I play it often.
Sounds like a great game for my cousins. Thank you!
Release date?

WE have it already for quite a while (Germans) and my kids love it and I like it for the exact same reasons you mentioned Tom!
Thank you so much for this nice review. :) Gift for me... hum... my kid of course ! ^^
