Where it came from
Ghost Stories was released in 2008 by Repos Production, designed by Antoine Bauza as his debut major board game title. The game emerged during a period of rising interest in highly thematic, cooperative experiences that emphasized high difficulty and tactical coordination. Players act as Taoist monks defending a village from the onslaught of Wu-Feng, a powerful spirit seeking to return to the mortal realm, reflecting a distinct blend of Chinese folklore and modern Eurogame mechanics.
The aesthetic of the game was heavily influenced by traditional Chinese art and iconography, brought to life through the work of illustrator Pierô. Bauza aimed to create a tense, modular experience where the board layout and enemy arrivals kept players on edge. Upon its release, it was lauded for its punishing difficulty and striking visual style, solidifying its reputation as a benchmark for cooperative strategy games in the late 2000s.
