I haven ' t played Ghost Stories but I love Claustrophobia . It ' s a great 2 player game with a lot of replayability . You can do each scenario at least twice once as demon , once as human and there ' s about 14 free scenarios from the publisher theboardgame . comen ? cat 8 . You have to like strategic placement though Okay , I ' m going to leave this girl here and move this guy here so the demons need to burrow underground in order to spawn . and understand that while a dungeon crawler , you don ' t level up characters or equipment . Also , there ' s not much equipment and there ' s only two types of demons each scenario Troglodyte and the Demon specific to that scenario which is indicated on a card the mini stays the same . If you ' re okay with that and you really want to hack and slash AND have dice manipulationish mechanics , then for $ 30 I ' d say go for it . It ' s worth eating rice for a week . Just roast your veg in the oven , mix it with some green curry sauce and pour it over quinoa . There . Cheap , yummy , healthy suppers AND Claustrophobia .
