The Winchester House

1–1 players · 15 min · 7+

In 1884, under advice from her spiritual advisor, Sarah Winchester began work on a house in California. Starting with an eight room farmhouse, she continued adding and renovating until she died in 1922. She believed she was haunted by the spirits of those killed by Winchester-brand rifles and that by constantly renovating the house she could keep the spirits at bay...

In The Winchester House, you start with a small farmhouse and add tiles to build out your house. Matching colors can give bluffs or debuffs, special rooms will help you keep the ghosts contained. Your goal is to place all your tiles without letting any ghosts escape or having the terror meter cap out.
