Ghostbusters: Blackout
After a major power outage struck New York, the Ghostbusters must set out to capture all the ghost escaping from their containment unit. With the whole city suffering from a blackout and an onslaught of ghost rampaging around, it’s up to the Ghostbusters to quell the chaos and get those ghosts busted! Ghostbusters: Blackout is a fully co-operative board game for 2-4 players. In it, players roll dice and allocate them to move around the city, capture ghosts, and buy upgrades for their ghost-busting tech, all while trying to keep the city from collapsing from the ensuing chaos!

A fun Co-op game anyone can pick up fast and enjoy. A popular game in my group that hits the table often.

Very luck dependent. Ghosts have vastly different power levels. Your ability to defeat ghosts comes down to rolling the correct sides on dice with no mitigation. You can leave ghosts partially defeated, but you are punished with fewer dice on future turns until you defeat the ghost.

1/23/21 Update: Game is just way too samey and there's not enough variety from game to game to make it feel different. Still a good family game if you like the theme, but just not the game for us. We played Roll for Adventure and this back to back and Roll for Adventure gives you a similar feel in the same amount of time, while also giving you more variety and a better decision tree. 9/28/20 VERY quick to play, family weight dice allocation cooperative game. Wife and I can lose in about 25 minutes. Game is very hard based on which ghosts come out each round. Getting possessed sucks :-p Recommend this 100%. If you want a longer experience play Doctor Who Time of the Daleks. We have that also and it gets played when we want a meatier game with more to think about.
