Objective
Play ghost cards to gain the majority of mansions, or forfeit them to gain powerful psychic assistants.
Gameplay
Ten cards are placed in a line, each one with a random mansion token (yellow for manor, pink for castle) on it. The first nine cards are psychics.
Each player starts with a hand of five cards.
The game is played over 10 rounds, each corresponding to one of the ten cards, left to right.
- On your turn, play any number of cards from your hand onto your side of that round's card. (Psychic card effects apply instantly.)
- At the end of your turn, if the total on your side of the value is higher than your opponent, it is your opponent's turn.
- If it is not the case, you must withdraw from the mansion and your opponent wins it.
At the end of each round:
- Whoever won the mansion takes the manor/castle token.
- Whoever withdrew takes that round's psychic card and adds it to their hand, and may play a card face-down to the 10th round card.
- Each player draws 2 ghost cards.
The 10th round isn't played like the others: instead, players reveal the face-down cards they have set aside there, to see who wins it.
End of Game
- You win instantly if you get 4 manors (yellow) or 3 castles (pink).
- If none of the winning conditions are met after the 10th round, the player who won the 10th round wins the game. (If tied, most mansions wins; if still tied, the game ends in a draw.)
