About Ghoulash
Ghoulash is a two-player strategy game played entirely on paper, using specially designed Game Charts. Think of Ghoulash as a miniature RPG in which each player is the other’s game master. Each player takes a chart, and hides the Ghouls, Holes, Debris and First-Aid Kits on one of the two grids, the Obstacle Grid. Then, you take turns describing your journey through the other grid, the Movement Grid. As you move, your opponent follows along on their Obstacle Grid and tells you what items or obstacles you’ve encountered. If you fall in a Hole, you lose a turn. If you encounter Debris, you suffer a wound. If you encounter a Ghoul you must fight it. Hit its Weak Spot and it's destroyed, but if miss you get a wound. Receive 12 wounds and you die! Be the first to destroy all eight Ghouls and you win! Our Game Books provide you with thick stacks of removable charts, enough for SIXTEEN two-player games! The game charts represent four exciting locations in which to conduct your Ghoul battles. The Game Books, only $2.95 each, will be available at Ghoulash.com or at your favorite local game shop. Since first being posted on Ghoulash.com in 2001, the game has been played by gamers around the world and has been translated by fans into SIX DIFFERENT LANGUAGES! Stick Ghoulash in your backpack, your purse, your pocket. It’s a great travel game, and a great game to pull out and play while you’re waiting for your plane, your movie or your pizza! Ghoulash is easy to learn, quick to play and fun for the entire family! Join the Ghoul Hunt! Play Ghoulash: The Game of Pen & Paper Peril today!
