Disclaimer: We played the Dutch version of Ghost Stories, so it might be that the translation of the rule book is just… not that good.
Ghost Stories! After going through the hassle of understanding the game completely and having the feeling we were really doing it right (thank you Google!), we had quite some fun with the game! It is probably one of the hardest co-op games we ever played though. It never took the game very long before we were completely overrun by all the ghosts and their demon posse and I think we even never got to fight Wu Feng! We played it at our FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store), so I believe we haven’t played more than three times – but it’s certainly one of those games I’d like to play again with more than two players to take revenge on the game. Or… to just fail miserably, again. 😉
Wu-Feng, the Lord of Nine Hells, is out to get the village hiding the urn with his ashes. The villagers seem unaware of the threat, even though it's the Lord of Nine Hells. You and other Taoist priests must try to stop Wu-Feng and his ghastly friends from trying to regain power in this frantic co-op game! It's a hard and challenging game, but definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of (hard) co-op games.

Had ik met het spel “Whitechapel”, zit je ook de aangegeven speeltijd bezig in de regels alles aan het overlopen om dan een testje te doen en alles terug op te bergen want het is te laat geworden. 😀

We have the English rule book and it is pretty difficult to understand as well. Fun game, but super-difficult. We’ve lost plenty of times.

co-ops ar not alwasy easy. some are known to be hard. even with mitigated difficluity you will still lose your first 5 games becous your learning what you need to do. som co-ops start at difficulity hard and only go up.
ghastly rule books usaly come in games of fantasy flight. the worst one for me was :spase hulk, death angel the card game co-op

Axis and Allies and Diplomacy have the densest rulebooks I have ever seen

Hahahahaha the first 3 games of ghost stories, we played it that all haunting ghosts on all the boards move every turn. Needless to say, it was ultra hard mode. It felt like easy mode once we realized the haunting ghost only move on the active players board.
