Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
A Kickstarter project for Ghostbusters: The Board Game was just launched by Cryptozoic Entertainment. The game, which the company hopes to ship in October, is described as a cooperative “episodic adventure” game.
Players take on the roles of the four original ghostbuster characters—Venkman, Stantz, Spengler, and Zeddemore—and pursue their supernatural quarry through four episodes in each of three campaigns. In the final episode of each campaign, the players will take on one of the iconic bosses, Slimer, Idulnas, and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
For a pledge of $80 backers will get 10 double-sided game board tiles, dice, tokens, character cards, ghost cards, and at least 47 miniature game pieces—ghostbusters, bosses, galloping ghouls, gruesome twosomes, and boogaloo manifestations. Included in the $125 Mass Hysteria pledge level are the Kickstarter exclusive foil-stamped box, Sandman boss figure, Sedgewick Hotel tiles, glow-in-the-dark dice, and super-sized, impossible-mode Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
Expect additional stretch goals. Cryptozoic is seeking $250,000 in funding.
