Description

You've just finished a ghost hunt! Now time to figure out what to do with all of them...

Throw your ghouls into an abandoned house so they don't bother anyone else! But you still need to keep one for testing, so choose wisely! Keeping a ghost no one else wants is all the more better for you, and there are so many kinds! Will you look into that weird green ghost? Or perhaps that spirit from space is more interesting? Study the most ghastly geists to become the ultimate ghost hunter!

Ecto is a two-to-four player hand management game. Each player has their own hand of cards. You play your cards until you have one left in your hand. Each card has a color and a symbol, and are worth points depending on how many similar cards were played. For example, if your last card is a yellow skull, it's worth one point for each other card (played by you or anyone else) that's yellow and/or has a skull. Your every decision is crucial, as playing a card means it could score you points, AND it could help someone else do the same. Still lost? Read the rules document at the bottom of the page.

Ecto comes in a small tin that can fit in your pocket. You can carry it wherever you go and play it whenever you want. It's perfect for a restaurant or party setting, or just about any event. The play time is so short that you can play over and over again.
