Ghostbusters: The Board Game – Sony and Cryptozoic Announce New Tabletop Game

Sony Pictures Consumer Products and Cryptozoic Entertainment have teamed up to offer a new Kickstarter project for Ghostbusters: The Board Game. Cryptozoic, best known for board and collectable card games, launched the Kickstarter project today with the goal set at $250,000. This will be the first Ghostbusters board game in nearly 30 years and will ship to backers in October 2015.

Ghostbusters: The Board Game is built for 1-4 players (ages 15 and up) and allows them to select from one of four Ghostbusters figurines, each bringing their own traits and talents to the squad. There are pre-written scenarios to choose from and a range of difficulty which players will select before beginning a game. Once the game starts, players will crush spirits and gain experience to level up and gain even more abilities for taking on bigger challenges. Games can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Ghostbusters: The Board Game features figure designs created by Dan Schoening, the artist of IDW’s Ghostbusters comic book, and is designed by veterans at Cryptozoic who are best known for games based on DC Comics, Lord of the Rings, Walking Dead, Adventure Time, Archer and Street Fighter.
