Ghost Stories setup guide

Randomize the Ghost Stories village: nine tiles in a 3x3 square, Taoist boards and difficulty.

How to use the Ghost Stories tool

1. Choose the difficulty for your group.
2. Generate the nine village tiles in a 3×3 square and the Taoist board arrangement.
3. Place the village and Taoist boards, then prepare the ghosts and remaining components using the selected difficulty rules.

Village positions and Taoist boards are setup choices. The difficulty rules still determine the rest of the challenge.

What this setup tool prepares

Ghost Stories preparation combines the village tile arrangement with Taoist board positions and the chosen difficulty. Generating those components together helps your group prepare the shared play area before the ghosts arrive. The village is a 3×3 arrangement, so checking the positions of useful locations is part of reviewing the opening layout.

Before you start playing

Select difficulty first, match all nine village tiles, and place the Taoist boards as shown. Apply the rest of the difficulty setup from the rulebook, including the relevant ghost preparation. The tile arrangement and board positions are only part of the challenge; do not treat the preview as a substitute for difficulty-specific instructions.
