Ghosts Love Candy! The new game from designer Danny Devine and 5th Street Games

June 4th - via: trollitc.com
Ever since My Happy Farm hit the streets I’ve been a huge fan of 5th Street Games. They make surprisingly strategic games that I can play with my 8 year old and actually have a ton of fun. They’re really the exact opposite of Candyland or Random-Theme-Monopoly, fast, fun, great to look at and they won’t bore me to tears. Ghosts Love Candy, the second 5th Street Games release by Danny Devine is no exception! (Read More)

Kickstarter Tabletop Alert: Ghosts Love Candy

June 2nd - via: geekdad.com
As everyone knows, ghosts love candy. But, alas, being incorporeal has its downsides—like the inability to actually eat anything. So on Halloween, these candy-craving ghosts possess trick-or-treating kids and make them eat candy, getting a taste of that sweet goodness for themselves. That’s the theme behind this kid-friendly card game coming from 5th Street Games, designed by Danny Devine. (Read More)

A Review of Ghosts Love Candy

May 30th - via: theboardgameshow.com
I usually don’t begin a review by saying something about the end of the game, but since this game is geared toward ages 8 and up, I felt an enthusiastic comment from my 8-year-old daughter would be appropriate. Upon completing the final round, she said, “Now, it’s time to eat some candy!” She said it with such gusto that I knew she had truly absorbed the spirit of Ghosts Love Candy by designer Danny Devine, the man also behind the incredibly fun card game, Mob Town. (Read More)

Preview of Ghosts Love Candy by @EuroGamerGirl

May 26th - via: boardgamegeek.com
Ghosts love candy! Everyone knows that, but sadly, ghosts can’t eat candy… except on Halloween night! On the spookiest night of the year, ghosts can possess Trick-or-Treaters and eat their fill of candy! Now the competition is on between you and your fellow ghosts. Good thing you each have different cravings and can focus on getting the candy that you like the most. The winner is the ghost who has the highest valued collection of candy at the end of the night. But be careful, if you are the last ghost to possess a kid when he or she gets sick, you are responsible and lose points. (Read More)
