Gen Con Playtesters 2023 Haunted Halloween The Trick-or-Treat Game

About Haunted Halloween: The Trick-or-Treat Game, from BoardGameGeek:

Players take on the role of trick-or-treaters who venture into a haunted neighborhood, going door-to-door to collect the most candy. Beware! Ghosts come out of the graveyard to steal candy and stash it in the candy coffin! Asymmetric player powers, BOOst tokens, and Secret Candy Quest tokens add layers of complexity to the game, giving you a chance to cause mischief for your opponents. In Haunted Halloween: The Trick-or-Treat Game, players trick-or-treat the neighborhood with the risk of more powerful ghosts chasing you as the full moon rises. Will you escape with your candy?! Strategize, form alliances, and push your luck on a quest to collect the most Halloween candy to win! Players roll dice to move along the board to reach houses, but they also roll a GHOST DICE on their turn to move one of the ghosts, who can steal candy from other players. When a player lands on a doorstep, they spin the Trick-or-Treat spinner to see what happens. They could get candy, there might be no one home, or they could trigger the Banshee. Watch out for the Banshee as she flies across the Full-Moon Tracker! The Banshee sends out more powerful ghosts to capture your candy, adding to the suspense of your Halloween hijinks. Players can also pick up a BOOst Token that gives them strategic powers that can be game-changing. For those seeking a risky venture, you can attempt to raid the Candy Coffin. But be warned, this may invoke the wrath of the spirits guarding their pilfered treats. Visit the Haunted House to grab a Glowstick that will protect you from one ghost attack, but then you must roll the Haunted House Die! Costumes have a once-per-game power too! Haunted Halloween was created by an eight-year-old girl and her mom. Selected as FINALIST in the MOST INNOVATIVE product in the Halloween & Costume Association competition 2025.
