Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

You are a gifted individual, imbued with the ability to detect and dispel evil spirits. Specifically you specialize in haunted objects. Once again you've been called to the home of a citizen whose brush with the supernatural has left them shaken and desperate for help. While you certainly value your role in the community as caretaker and guardian, part of you knows there is another appeal to your line of work.You like to collect these dangerous objects. Something about locking them up, safely in your vault makes the world feel just a bit safer. More in control. And that's good, right? A Print and Play Game (only). The Cursed Menagerie is a solo dice and card game where the player takes on the role of an investigator attempting to expel ghosts from objects like a haunted doll house, spooky ballerina music box and many more! Can you add all 13 objects to your collection or will you be overcome by the evil within? The mini-campaign game uses a unique reveal mechanic that slowly reveals which type of ghost is haunting the object. Attentive investigators will learn the strengths and weaknesses of these ghosts and use that knowledge to better strategize. To win, you'll have to create dice combinations and manage your character's resources. The game includes 3 Characters which can be paired with 3 Skill cards for up to 9 different combinations. Future expansions will add to this variety as well as the Ghost + Object combinations.
