ホーンテッドスイーツ (Haunted Sweets)

Description

Trouble! At this rate, your shop's reputation will drop and the business won't survive! It's the fault of those rumored ghosts that have been devouring sweets lately. As a patisserie, you've been racking your brain over the ghosts' mischief day after day until suddenly, a brilliantly bad idea strikes. Use the ghosts to ruin the neighboring shop's reputation! Triumphantly, you send ghosts off to the shop next door... "Wait, our shop has ghosts in it again too…"　A game where patisseries' choices send stock and reputation swinging wildly, with strategy and scheming tangled together. Sweet on the surface, anything but sweet underneath. Each player pays from their sweets stock to send ghosts to the player on their right. The player who receives the ghosts loses sweets stock and reputation. If your sweets stock exceeds a set amount, you instantly lose and finish last. At game end, the player with the highest reputation wins. Manage the sweets stock needed to send ghosts while holding off the damage from your left neighbor's ghosts to claim victory. —description from the publisher 大変だ！このままじゃ評判が落ちて店がもたない！最近噂のスイーツを食い荒らすゴーストのせいだ。パティシエであるあなたは、ゴーストのいたずらに 日々頭を悩ませる中、とある「迷案」を思いつく。そうだ！ゴーストを使って隣の店の評判を落とそう！あなたは意気揚々と隣の店にゴーストを送り込むが「おかしいな、うちの店にもまたゴーストが…」パティシエ達の選択で在庫と評判がめまぐるしく動く戦略と思惑が絡み合うスイーツなのに甘くないゲーム 各プレイヤーは在庫のスイーツを支払って右隣のプレイヤーにゴーストを送り込む。ゴーストを送り込まれたプレイヤーは在庫のスイーツが減り、評判が下がる。各プレイヤーはスイーツの在庫が一定数以上になると、即敗北となり、最下位になる。ゲーム終了時、評判が最も高いプレイヤーが勝利。ゴーストを送り込むのに必要なスイーツの在庫を管理しつつ、左隣からのゴーストの被害を抑えて勝利を目指す。 —description from the publisher (Japanese)
