Why It's On The List

• #3 on my Kid Games top 100 list... this game is equally successful with kids and adults. It's a chase/push-your-luck/filler game that never ever falls flat.

Tips & Tricks:

• I strongly suggest not grouping your partygoers together - that's an easy way to get nabbed by Hugo post-haste.
• The missing numbers on the dice (replaced by ghost symbols) are 3 and 6... plan accordingly, especially when you are aiming for the +3 rooms.
• My copy is now 26 years old - I bought it on a date with my bride-to-be (we celebrate 25 years of marriage in June!) at the Texas State Fair.

Extras

• There was supposed to be a new German edition of this game in 2013 - but according to the Geek it was never released.
• I wrote an extensive review of Midnight Party for my Kid Games 100.
