Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Losing a turn / setback — Ghosts hit by boulders are knocked into pits and remain there until the start of their next turn. Ending on a rotten step causes a slip back.
  • Push Your Luck — Choosing the outer path can be faster but riskier due to boulders.
  • roll and move — Players roll a die and move their ghost that number of spaces along the track.
  • Take That — Rolling a ghost symbol allows a player to move another player's ghost one space, potentially hindering them.
