    Why It's On The List
    • The ultimate "I don't have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you" game... which plays up to 8 players and always provides a splendid time for all involved - even if Hugo the Ghost tags your players.
    Tips & Tricks:
    • Don't put your folks close to each other - you need to spread them out a bit.
    • Starting next to an open door is always a good idea.
    • The game works well at all player counts... but is best with 5+ players.
    • I think the older versions of the game are better - while the newer versions feature some twists, the original Ravensburger game is hard to beat.
    Extras
    • Here's what I wrote about it for my Kid Games 100 list back in the day.
    • This is the fifth of five (5!) Kramer designs on my list.
