Do you have the mojo? We do, in this snappy card game.

32:30 Our Top Spooky Games for Families at Halloween
We’re not big into horror or being scared. But we do love these gently spooky games for Halloween play.
1. Ghosts Love Candy Too – you’re ghosts scaring kids in costume to try to get them to drop their candy. Scare the kids TOO much, and you’ll have to take responsibility (usually negative points). Only nine rounds, with a ton of variability due to the kids who appear and what candy each player values most. Read or watch our review.
2. Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters – we LOVED this game when our kids were younger. Cooperatively retrieve the treasures from a haunted house before too many ghosts and “hauntings” appear. It looks like the anniversary edition now includes rules for a player to control the ghosts, which means up to five people can play!
3. Studies in Sorcery – the darkest game on our list. Dig up graves for spell components to complete your degree in the dark arts in this card drafting / set building game. Read our review.
4. Zombie Dice – we’ve been playing this with our kids from very young ages. Pull three dice out, roll them. Brains are good, shotgun blasts are bad. Want to keep going? Gather any footsteps and add more dice to get back to three. Roll them and see if you are satisfied… or if you have three shotgun blasts, wiping out your brains this turn. (Find it on Amazon)
5. Horrified – There are four of these now! Classic, American Monsters, Greek Monsters, World of Monsters. Our favorite is Greek Monsters, but all are good. Cooperate to move “victims” away from the monsters and work towards defeating the monsters for good!
Bonus Games!
Unmatched: Cobble & Fog (Dracula, Invisible Man, Jekyll & Hyde) , Unmatched: Buffy
Some longer and more “adult” games: Fury of Dracula, Letters from Whitechapel, Arkham Horror, The Shining (Coded Chronicles).
And how about Scooby Doo: Escape from the Haunted Mansion (Coded Chronicles)?
Looking for more? Halloween isn’t really our thing. But the guys at One Board Family love Halloween and creepy games!
