Board game specialists Cryptozoic Entertainment managed to doubled their projected goal on their Kickstarter campaign for a well-deserved and long overdue Ghostbusters: The Board Game.

According to their official Kickstarter page:

“Ghostbusters: The Board Game is an episodic adventure game for one to four players, who are charged with busting ghosts and sealing gates to the Spirit World. The game is customizable, cooperative, and highly re-playable. It features unique illustrations and figures based on original artwork and designs by Dan Schoening, the artist of IDW’s Ghostbusters comic book series. Each Ghostbuster has a distinct role and unlocks unique abilities by gaining experience. The game offers modes for different levels of players, making it accessible to beginners and challenging to experts. Now is your chance to save the world!”

The game allows one to four players who are to work together rather than against each other, to restore the balance between the spirit world and theirs. During each turn, players move, shoot proton streams, deposit trapped ghosts, use unique character abilities and drive the Ecto-1 to complete objectives. Furthermore, we will get the opportunity to play with the four original Ghostbusters and villain bosses Gozer, Slimer and the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man. This will be a great refresher just ahead of the rumored all woman cast franchise reboot planned for next year.
