Get your proton packs ready! The Real Ghostbusters board game from 1989 is a full-on ghost-chasing adventure for fans of the classic cartoon series. It’s all about trapping ghouls, collecting ghostbusting gear, and beating your mates in the ultimate race to bust the infamous Mr. Stay Puft himself.
You’ll each play as a Ghostbuster, spinning the 'bust-o-meter' to move across the board and collect the kit you need to take down ghosts. Whether you're creeping through buildings or making a break across the city using subways, there’s loads of spooky action to dive into. But keep an eye out – your kit can be stolen by others if they 'spook' you at just the right moment!
Bust ghosts, race to the final showdown, and watch out for slime—because you don’t want to get slimed right before taking on Mr. Stay Puft!
How to Play
Pick your Ghostbuster and set up your gear: you start with a trap, a proton gun, and a proton pack. Use the spinner to move around the board, collecting action cards and ghostbusting equipment. You’ll need the full kit to bust a ghost hiding in a building—and even more luck to take down Mr. Stay Puft!
Watch out for special spaces that make you draw action cards or get into ghost duels. You can even challenge other players with a round of 'spooking' to try and make them drop their kit!
As soon as all the regular ghosts are busted, it’s a race to the centre of the board for the final fight against Mr. Stay Puft. Only one Ghostbuster will walk away the winner!
