Funko Disney The Haunted Mansion – Call of The Spirits Board Game

I really enjoy playing this game. It can take a little while to learn all of the rules, but after playing a couple times it will make more sense. It has a good mix of luck involved, and there are a bunch of different strategies to try. The artwork is beautiful on the box, cards and board. Overall it is a fun, high quality board game that only takes around 30 minutes to complete. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

This game is a blast! Probably my favorite out of the Disney ride-themed board games. The art on the cards is top notch and the gameplay is simple. The runtime doesn’t over-stay its welcome either. Easy for kids and parents to grasp while still having moderate strategy elements. The Magic Kingdom version includes a glow in the dark figure and tuck box for the haunt cards, which is a fun bonus. I’ll enjoy playing this each October!

Haunted mansion ride is one of our favorites as a family and when I saw it as a board game I knew it was meant to be. To be honest I don’t usually play board games but this game put it’s claws in me and I am hooked! I originally bought it for my kids as an Halloween surprise gift to play with their friends but decided to try it and let me tell you it is soo much fun! Artwork is outstanding and if you are a fan of the ride then you’ll get an extra kick out of all the little fun details in artwork. I am genuinely pleasantly surprised by how good of the deal it was and I cannot recommend enough!

We’ve played once so far, and the instructions are quite complicated! I wouldn’t recommend for kids due to this, but it’s a creative gameplay and we had fun once we (kind of) figured out what to do. There is quite a bit of strategy that can make the game interesting, so we look forward to our next game.

I am a sort of connoisseur of board games; I collect them like an old woman collects porcelain figurines. I am also a big fan of the Haunted Mansion, having spent most of my career in the Magic Kingdom. This is not to say that this review is on their payroll, as I could say much in the way of the Jungle Cruise board game that the "Mouse" may not like. Regardless, I must say this particular game is a delight. With roughly 65 unique character artworks(On the non-repeating "Ghost Cards"), the game's accessories alone have more to offer than most board games, and show a wonderful attention to detail in relating to it's inspiring attraction. The gameplay itself is unique, easy to learn, and fun to play. I've played dozens of tabletop games in my day, and this is certainly a breath of fresh air in a world of tiresome rip-offs. There isn't anything I feel I can easily compare it to, and, while being different, it isn't at all complicated. I love a game where you can really make your opponents squirm, and there is plenty of opportunity to get ahead yourself, play it safe, or make things difficult for others. The game offers variety by changing the rules ever so slightly each round(as displayed on that rounds "Event Card", and offers balance by alternating the player that goes first in a round. The gameplay is far from predictable, and I can't imagine two games going precisely the same, making it difficult to get old. The game takes roughly 30 minutes to play, with about 2-6 minutes of setup, depending on how organized you are(I like to keep my cards in good condition, so I'm a very slow shuffler). A truly sufficient game takes 3-6 players, making it one of the better mid-size party games. It doesn't seem to drag, in fact, the last four rounds are a mystery as to which will end the game, making them a mad-dash for points. In addition, the more players, the less time it takes, and the more points become available on the game board. Overall, this is, no doubt, one of the best board games I've played in decades. For those fans of the Haunted Mansion who care a little too much; it should be noted that the fan-favorite "Hatbox Ghost" does not appear in this game. I myself despise the tacky California exclusive, so that's a plus in my book.

When I read that Funko was releasing this game, I was extremely excited (so were my gaming friends). I assumed it would include big Funko figures like the Harry Potter and other Funko games, but it doesn't. And it is so much better than those games! I've read all the negative reviews that say the directions are terrible and this game is impossible to learn, but that was not my experience at all. Perhaps because my gaming group tends to play very complex games (Mansions of Madness, Betrayal at House on the Hill, certain mystery box games, etc.) we found the rules extremely clear and the game mechanics simple yet enjoyable. Collecting card sets is fun and can be challenging depending on how everyone employs strategy throughout the game. Once you realize that the Haunt cards are based on the Hitchhiking Ghosts movement, it's easy to work/understand. The only game mechanic that we didn't think worked well was the Duel mechanic, but we may houserule that a bit to make it more compelling for us. I've played with 3 players, 5, and 6 players, and it is definitely more challenging and fun the more players there are. Additionally, as everyone is saying, the component and box design is gorgeous. Even the inside lid of the box is amazing--clearly a great deal of thought and care went into this game. I highly, highly recommend it! It has quickly become a favorite with my gaming friends and in my household!

The art is impressive. The game board and cards are beautiful and feel well made. With a little care, this game can last years and years. I read the reviews and a lot of people said the gameplay was complicated. I took a chance and bought it anyway because I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife who is a huge Disney fan and Haunted Mansion is her favourite ride at Magic Kingdom. We were not disappointed. This made a great gift. The game is easy to learn. We played it with two tweens and after one turn where everyone had a chance to do a ‘test run’ of the actions they would take during a real game - we all had the hang of it. We’ve played a it a bunch of times since Christmas Day. Even if you aren’t a Disney fan, it’s a fun game and if you’re a Halloween person - this game hits all the marks for a themed game night. I highly recommend this game and have already told others about it. This will definitely be in the games night rotation once the pandemic is over.

Me ha gustado mucho, la verdad es que es imprescindible para fans de phantom manor

Es sumamente divertido y fácil de aprender. El juego es simple, atrapar a cuántos fantasmas sea posible en poco tiempo. Todas las piezas son de buena calidad, la caja y el envío fueron excelentes. Si hay algo que debería reclamar es que a veces, dependiendo la suerte, el juego podría acabar en uno o dos turnos. Aunque claro, eso lo hace muy emocionante a veces... De ahí en más en muy entretenido, además de que la Mansión Embrujada es una de mis atracciones favoritas de los parques.

Gostei da aparência do jogo. As peças são lindas! Entretanto, ainda não li as regras.

As other reviewers have said, the game seems complicated to start. After a quick orientation game or 2 and the rules are easy to follow. They seem overwhelming when reading the instructions so just have them on hand and run an orientation game and everyone gets it. My family really enjoys the game and there is a shocking amount of strategy to it and the game always brings out our competitive streak.
