Kooky Mansion is a light-hearted loot collecting/scoring card game for 2-4 players. The goal is very simple: be the first player to score 30 points worth of loot. To do that, players must enter the Kooky Mansion either through the Basement OR through the Roof, move up and down the various floors to collect the loot, and then get out of the mansion with the loot to score points. Sounds easy, right? Be warned, the mansion is guarded by a highly intelligent mad scientist, a highly indestructible robot, and a highly insecure sentient alien tentacle all of which can also be moved up and down floors to capture any intruders they encounter! If the players are caught, they are escorted from the mansion and any loot they had collected is lost (scored loot can never be lost). The mansion is full of secret passages that the players can use to avoid the guards and move more quickly up and down floors. Can you avoid capture, snag the loot, and escape the mansion to become the first player to score 30 points? -description from designer
