Ouija Manor
In Ouija Manor, one player is a spirit who helps the other players (paranormal investigators) deduce the truth behind their death. Players move through the game's 3-dimensional victorian manor house game board searching for clues and asking the spirit questions using a real ouija board to piece together the correct set of obituary cards to solve the mystery. The unique obituary cards are cleverly written to make sure that every pair of cards make sense no matter which two are chosen.
Ouija Manor comes out this fall from Funko Games and is available for preorder on some websites. Stay tuned here for more information.
