Spectral is a game for 2-5 players designed by Ryan Courtney and published by us here at Bitewing Games. Through deduction, bidding, and bluffing stake out rooms in the haunted Spectral Manor to uncover treasures. But be wary, some rooms contain curses that will send your treasure hunters home empty handed.

Looks great! I'm really impressed with Ryan Courtney so far, it's rare to have his range of game types and complexities. Definitely going to pick this one up.

[@BitewingGames]

He does a great job in a wide array of designs! I’m glad we were able to work with him again. Spectral is very clever and fun!!

[@ODDin17]

Looks like an interesting twist on Cursed Court. Which is awesome, since I love Cursed Court but there aren't many other games like it. Will definitely want to check this one out.

[@BitewingGames]

Thanks for checking it out. I hadn't heard of Cursed Court before. After briefly looking I can see some similarities. Very cool.

I'm glad to know that the point of the game is to win! In all seriousness thank you for this breakdown. It's a cool looking game. Looking forward to hearing some impressions from other players and reviewers :)

[@BitewingGames]

Haha. Thanks zmollon. Yeah, I love the overall look and artwork - Kwanchai did an awesome job of illustrating and Ryan Courtney did a great job with the design imo.

Really good how to play! Do you usually end the game knowing most of the tiles?

[@BitewingGames]

I typically know a majority of the tiles. Sometime I know all of them. But the more tiles I know, the more pieces I’ve played. So sometimes if I know everything I have no pieces left to secure those spots and earn the treasure. There’s some strategy there of how much info to know, if you can figure things out based on where others have gone, and being careful to not kick someone out, freeing up their pieces so they can go somewhere better.

10:28 That's the bluest purple I've ever seen...

[@BitewingGames]

Haha. As I was making the video I thought the same. The player pad is purple. The figures are a bit more blue.
