A star is a group of connected stones belonging to one player that touches at least three partial edge hexagons. The score of a star is the number of edge hexagons it touches minus two. A player s score is the total of all the stars of that player s color. The player with the higher score wins. For any given board, the total final score of the two players is constant.

The game takes place on a 6 6 square geometry square grid representing a Haunted house haunted castle . Both players are given eight ghost s, of which four are good represented by a blue dot and four are evil represented by a red dot . The ghosts are assembled in two rows of four ghosts at the player s own edge of the board. At each of the four corners is an exit from the castle. The idea of the game is that neither player knows which of the other player s ghosts are good and which are evil. Facing the front, all ghosts look the same. The dots are only on the back. The players can arrange the good and evil ghosts in any formation they choose at the start of the game. The game is turn based. On his or her turn, each player moves one ghost one square, either horizontally or vertically. A ghost may capture an opponent s ghost by moving to its square. Only when a ghost is captured does the opposing player know whether it is good or evil. If a player captures all four of the opposing player s good ghosts, he or she has won the game. But if a player captures all four of the opposing player s evil ghosts, he or she has lost the game. The game can also be won by moving one of the good ghosts through one of the exits at the opposing side of the board. The strategy of the game play involves mainly trying to guess which of the opponent s ghosts are which by their movement patterns and trying to fool the opponent with confusing movement patterns.

This title was released in 2001 by A1 Games . Gameplay The game play of Top Shop mimics that of Monopoly , but expands on the property management aspect of that game. As in Monopoly, players move across a gameboard and buy properties when they land on a space. Random mechanisms similar to those in Monopoly are used to determine how players move across the board, and what special events will occur in a given turn. Top Shop deviates from Monopoly when players land on spaces owned by other players. Instead of paying renting rent , the landing player must buy an item from the owner player s store. Items cost varying levels of money, and when one buys them they disappear from the store and must be restocked by the owner. In addition, when an item is bought the buyer may randomly receive one or more points which can be used at the bank to buy special events advantage, such as Random Money Exchange or Win the Game. Stores themselves can only be bought from other players when they are sold out of all their goods and can only be restocked by their owners when they land on the store. In addition to its modified game play, Top Shop features cute graphics, quirky characters, and a selection of different game boards which help distinguish it from Monopoly. It can be played in Storymode or Free Play Mode.
