What to Expect

In Gespensterburg, players take on the role of ghosts trying to escape a castle. They spin a wheel that simulates a die roll to move their ghosts. Landing on yellow spaces triggers an audio cassette giving instructions like moving to a certain room, skipping a turn, or taking an extra turn. The first ghost to leave the castle wins.
