Ghosts of Christmas - Card Game New

• Meeeaty - Some trick taking games are relaxing affairs. Play your highest card and hope for the best. In Ghosts of Christmas, there are multiple ways to approach each round and use brain cells.
• Ripple Effects - When you don't have the cards to win in a straightforward way, sometimes you can engineer a change in who wins the "Past" trick in order to make the "Present" and "Future" trick work out better for you.
• Dials - They're both fun and informative. A great visual way for everyone to keep track of which suit they can play to each ghost.
• Different Variants/Difficulty Levels - If you want a more low stress evening (or you are just learning), play the variant without bidding. If you think you've mastered the game, try playing one of the TWO variants with the "Beyond" ghost that add even more options.
• Bidding Options - Speaking of bidding, the ability to place an "exact bid" or a "wiggle room bid" gives you the option to play it safe or really go for that high score each round.

Product description Grab that Victorian outfit from your closet and join the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future on a time-traveling adventure! Ghosts of Christmas is a strategic trick-taking game where you try to outwit your fellow travellers and collect enough wreaths to decorate all the holiday doors. This game is designed to be "meeaty", moving beyond relaxing trick-taking by offering multiple strategic ways to approach each round. It features Ripple Effects, a core mechanic where you can engineer a change in who wins the "Past" trick in order to make the "Present" and "Future" tricks work out better for you, adding a significant layer of strategic depth. The game uses Dials, which are both fun and informative, providing a great visual way for everyone to keep track of which suit they can play to each ghost. Furthermore, you have diverse bidding options, giving you the choice to play it safe with an "exact bid" or really go for that high score with a "wiggle room bid" each round. It offers different variants and difficulty levels, allowing you to play without bidding for a less stressful evening or introduce the "Beyond" ghost for two variants that add even more options for master players. Ghosts of Christmas is a clever and engaging trick-taking game that requires anticipation and tactical planning across three time dimensions.
