Rules
(Original)
1) Everyone ghosts
2) The host drops a token
3) Everyone unghosts and tries to get the
token
4) Whoever gets the token is the winner
This
is the basic way of playing ghost racing,
but since the game was created in Dreamscape,
more styles of play have been created to offer
some variation:
Find
the Token
A token is hidden
in the turf, and you must find it
Chase
the Box
A token is put into the box, and the host
moves it around while players frantically
try to open it and get the token from inside.
Find
the Unglued Token!
Out of 30 or so tokens on the wall, one
is unglued. The player must find the unglued
token and grab it before anyone else.
Chair
Dash
One chair is put on the ground. When the
host gives the signal, you must unghost and
try to be the first to sit down.
Guess
the Box
Four or Five boxes are glued to the wall,
with the same Horizontal value. All boxes
are opened, and a token is put into one of
them. When all the boxes are closed, and the
host has ghosted, you must unghost and try
to open the box with the token inside.
Box
Flip
A token is hidden behind 10-20 closed
boxes, on the wall. You must quickly open
every box to get to the token, which is just
visible behind the last open box.
Quad
Racing
Four tokens are placed on the ground in
the first round of the game, giving four players
a chance to get 1 point each.
Tips
Unfortunately, patches are used in Ghost Racing
more than any other game inworld... so the
first tip would be not to wildly accuse others
of cheating or patching.
As for actual gaming tips, use the VZKeys
program (3.0) to unghost with the Keyboard
while aiming for the token with the mouse.
If you are using 2.4, press the Tab button
until the Ghost/Unghost button is highlighted,
then press Enter to execute.

Hosting
Instructions:
1) Read the
rules macro
2) When you are ready to commence the game
and are satisfied that the round has been
set up correctly, inform the players that
the next round is about to begin.
3) Pace the locale a few times before ghosting,
then watch as the round objectives are completed
by the players.
4) Unghost and reward points as won.
5) At the end of the game (how many rounds
you want), the player with the most points
is the winner.
Hosting
Tips:
Do
you want to be a good host or an evil host?
The players will play, but theyll love your
game so much more if youre easier on them
objective-wise. Remember, a host on a faster
connection would be pretty much unbeatable
in a round of Chase-The-Box.
If you plan on hosting the standard style
of ghost racing throughout the time slot,
make sure you enable the 'No waiting til ghosted'
rule. This basically means that players will
be able to unghost as soon as the token is
dropped. This will ensure a faster, smoother
game.
