  1. 7.5 out of 10

    Interesting addition to the game. Villagers are present also, there's a reward if you save them, and also a curse if the villagers happen to die. The themes makes sense, the ghost with the haunter ability now scares villagers away as he approaches the village, he still haunts when he's closest to the village tile in from of him. When he haunts it kills all villagers in that tile, so you have to be careful. New ghosts with devourer ability also kill villagers, or bite a taoist in case no villagers are present in the village (either their were saved or killed). Su ling appears when a bad thing happens, tile haunted, a villager killed or the curse die is rolled, she also helps protect the village, she is put on a haunting spot and prevent the middle icon of ghosts to be activated. Also if she is put on a corner tile she can put a gem on an altar next to that tile, thus making, as time goes by, quite possible the activation of the 4 gems this way. The card thickness is inferior to the original game. What?!?!? bad production here!!!... You can actually feel the card much more thinner even when using sleeves. bah

    I normally never rate or comment on expansions, but this one is almost a new game (mode, at least). I'd recommend a purchase, but it does make the game far more of a nerve wrecking experience. We often leave these components in the box, but it's great to mix in every once in a while for a tenser experience.

    I love the fact this game feels like an ongoing struggle! Squeaking out is SO satisfying every time. I do think there's a way to sort of figure out the base game so that you mostly win as a 1-2 player game but the White Moon Expansion really does well with adding more great options to do in any given turn while at the same balancing the difficulty more so. Sure the devourers will ruin your day real quick, but kung fu school and saving the right items will really make the game feel epic instead of hopeless if your having bad rolls and card draws I'll play this game at any player count but if you have an alpha player, it's not that great of a time. And it's this reason why it isn't rated higher for me.

Be the first to review “Ghost Stories: White Moon”

With the Ghost Stories: White Moon expansion, the monks have an extra task to deal with: rescuing the villagers themselves from the ghosts.

During setup, three villagers tokens are placed on all village tiles but one. The Moon Portal is placed on the remaining tile (the center tile for normal difficulty, on the side for harder difficulty, in a corner for masochistic players). Villagers can follow monks when they move. To rescue a villager, you have to bring him to the Moon Portal and take a special rescue action on that tile.

Villagers come in families of 1, 2 or 3 members. When an entire family is rescued, you get the family’s reward. Small families give small rewards (like an extra Qi, or an artifact that can move the other monks to your tile), large families give large rewards (like a sword that lets you turn one die to white during each exorcism, or an armor that cancels the ghosts’ come-into-play effects).

Unfortunately, some ghosts are able to kill villagers. Each time a villager gets killed, the players suffer the family’s curse (which can go from annoying -like having a tao token removed from the game- to downright brutal -like having a extra Wu-Feng incarnation come into play-). Villagers also die if their tile is haunted. Haunters also force villagers to flee (villagers that cannot flee are killed).
