Spectral Rails Ghosting to a Station Near You

May 26, 2011

Z-Man presents Spectral Rails, which is now available at a FLGS near you. Journey through the American southwest in your ghostly train looking for souls to save. In an interesting twist, the game is for 3-4 players only. Hmmm….

The board is double sided depending on number of players, and features loads of spooky train fun. Here’s the info from the Z-man website:

For years prospectors, speculators, and frontier folk fl ocked to remote areas of the American Southwest in search of their fortunes. Makeshift towns cropped up around rich mines of copper, silver, gold and other precious commodities, only to fade away as the resources ran out. Now only ghost towns are left as testament to the community that once lived there. While the lucky ones made their fortunes; most folks barely scratched out a meager existence in these harsh and lonely towns. Some died lonely deaths in these places far from home, and now their souls wander around these ghost towns haunting them until the day when their soul can return home to achieve final peace.

The ghost trains are these lost souls’ ticket to rest. These spectral trains glide majestically along ethereal rails looking for lost souls and give them passage homeward. You are the engineer of a ghost train. Your job is to find lost souls in various ghost towns and deliver them to their home towns so that they can achieve final peace.
