Cryptozoic Entertainment are twist Ghostbusters into an occasional , co - operative tabletop game , and have taken to Kickstarter to secure funding for it . And candidly , although the idea of A Ghostbusters biz on report does n’t sound like it could be all that interesting , it looks pretty radian .
Weirdly enough , instead of just receive a straight firing , the secret plan – which will see a squad of 4 ghostbusters bring together to take down wraith from the movies and wider Ghostbuster world ( so the animated cartoon , the comic strip and the toy ) on a modular plank that allow you mix and match environments for a series of unlike narrative scenarios . Check out the sales pitch video below :
The co - running element of the game makes sentience for the franchise , and it ’s coolheaded to see all the physical model that you may use – the conventionalize designs of the main four ghostbusters are really nice – but it seems unknown that Cryptozoic feel like they needed a kickstarter for the project . If anything , the game expect like it was a done hand , and then the kickstarter was launched just for the purpose of tote up extra bonuses as well as a fancy edition of the plot that come with more pieces and ‘ chief ghosts ’ for you to throw in the mix . Not entirely sure why the base biz needed to be a part of it , but hey , at least it ’s descend and looks interesting to act .
The plot is estimated to be available by October this yr , and currently the only way to get a copy is to fundamentally pre - order through the Kickstarter ( presumably it ’ll be available on a wide basis after that ) , which is currently at $ 103,000 of its $ 250,000 goal – Board games are exceedingly expensive to make ! $ 80 grants you the standard variation of the plot , concluded with board tiles , the player modelling and card , the rules and a whole bunch of ghosts to square up off against , as well as any stretchability goals for extra toy that are strike before the labor stop , while $ 125 mother you the ‘ Deluxe ’ Edition of the game , complete with an art print , extra map tile and two boss ghosts – Sandman and a bigger version of the Stay Puft Marshmallow military personnel .
