Blinkingline: /* On Your Turn */ Added Die distribution.

==Objective==
Bring your guests to the castle's rooms to avoid the banishing of Hugo, so that you will be the one with the least spooky points.

==Gameplay==
===Setup===
* Each player starts with a number of guests. For 2 people, 6. For 3 people, 5. For 4 people, 4. For 5 people, 3. For 6-8 people, 2.
* Each player starts with 10 spooky points. Hugo's counter is placed on 3 and Hugo's figure is placed on -10.
* Each player, starting with the first player, places one of his guests on any free spaces around the gallery.

===On Your Turn===
* Roll a dice and move one of your figures the number of spaces indicated. The die has the faces 1-2-4-5-Ghost-Ghost
* You cannot pass. So, if all your guests are either in a room or in the cellar, you still have to move one.
* Guests in the cellar start their steps from the arrow. Guests in the room start their steps from the door.
* You can overtake Hugo and not being captured. However, if your guest stops on the same space at Hugo, he is captured.

===Entering Rooms===
* You can start moving your guests into rooms when Hugo moves onto the gallery. They can enter only by the doors on the gallery.
* You need to move into a room by an extra step. You can exceed the number needed to enter, except for green or occupied rooms.
* If your guest moves into an occupied room, the guest that is already in is expelled to the door. He can return by rolling a 1.
* If a guest moves into a room with coats of arms, score accordingly (+1 or -3).

===Hugo's Movement===
* If the Hugo symbol is moved, Hugo moves a number of steps clockwise according to his counter, starting with 3.
* If Hugo passes or stops at a space with a guest, that guest is captured and put on the cellar, starting from -10. The owner of that guest receives the spooky points indicated.
* Each time Hugo moves onto the arrow, he speeds up and moves an extra step, starting from the next movement.

===End of Game===
* The game ends when either a person scores at least 46 or Hugo passes the arrow when his speed is 7.
* The player with the least spooky points wins.

==Variants==
===Midnight Party===
* The game consists of three rounds, no matter what.
* Hugo always move 3 steps, unless there are 7-8 players, then he moves 2.
* Guests cannot be expelled from rooms. They also cannot leave the cellar.
* If you have no guests on the gallery, you still roll the dice, but cannot move.
* A round ends when all rooms are occupied or there are no guests on the gallery.
* After a round, guests in rooms move into the doors. Guests in cellars are placed one by one, starting from -10.
* Hugo is placed back onto -10 and the player with the most spooky points becomes the first player.
