Happy Haunts

You're a member of an eccentric, rich, oil oligarchy, who recently lost their dearly beloved Mother to alcohol poisoning. Your older Sister was told by a psychic medium that if someone in your family would show sympathy towards the Happy Haunts of your local township that they would also have the pleasure of a visit from your Mother's spirit... And you can know once and for all who is inheriting her massive fortune!

Collect Haunted Houses - Create different Haunted Houses by laying down matching Ghosts. A House is not Haunted until two Ghosts are there, but be careful, other players might remove Ghosts or your entire Haunted House from the table with Special Cards!

Rules:

Object of the Game - The first player to collect 5 Haunted Houses wins!

Setup - Mix all Ghost cards in a pile in the middle of the table face down (this is the Graveyard). Shuffle the House card deck. Draw 3 House cards and 3 Ghost cards.

Start - Whoever saw a horror movie or TV show most recently goes first. Play goes around the table from there.

Houses - Normal House cards have room for Ghosts. Faded icons show what Ghosts can be matched with each House. You must lay down a House card first to match Ghost cards with it. When both slots are full, the House is Haunted!

Ghosts - Match Ghost cards with Houses that have an open slot for them. Apparitions (green) are wild, and can be matched to any open slot. Grim Reaper (frowning Ghost) removes 1 Ghost of your choice from another players House (including Haunted Houses).

Play - Play two cards total each turn. You may play any combination of Ghost or House cards per turn. If you can not lay down any cards, your turn ends.

Drawing - Draw 2 in any combination of Ghost or House cards at the end of each turn. You have a hand limit of 5 House cards and 5 Ghost cards. If you have more than 5 of either at the end of your turn you must discard.

Discarding & Shuffling - All discarded cards are placed in the discard pile. They may be reshuffled back into the Graveyard, or House deck when either is depleted.

Special Cards - Count towards the limit of two cards played each turn.
