Yeah, that's right--you read that correctly. I just bought Halloween Yahtzee for about $20 at my local Barnes and Noble. And I'm not afraid to admit it. I love Yahtzee and I love Halloween even more, so essentially this game is a match made in heaven.

I've always loved Halloween and anything Halloween-related, ever since I was a little kid. Unlike most people, I never grew out of that phase. As far as anyone knows I'm still masquerading around as a sane, competent person.

My father's birthday is on Halloween, so he was always into the holiday more than your usual person. My high school best friend's birthday was also on Halloween, as was her boyfriend's (now ex-) and his dog (now probably deceased). As you can imagine, in my life, there was a lot to celebrate come that time of year.

As you can also imagine, I simply had to have this game. For one thing, the dice glow in the dark. I mean, seriously--isn't that reason enough to march out right now and go get one already?

As you continue to imagine, instead of dots denoting the numbers the glow in the dark dice feature Halloween themed items such as pumpkins, witch hats and haunted houses. Suspiciously missing from the dice are ghosts. Is there anything more Halloween-esque than a ghost I ask? No, there isn't. But I'm not going to hold that against the game. The dice feature spiders, bats and tombstones that read "RIP" as well.

You know, the more I think about it the more I don't understand why there are no ghosts featured. Very strange.

On a positive note, the Yahtzee chips are orange and purple and everything, including extra score sheets (because you can never have enough of those) comes neatly packaged in a closable travel mug for easy transportation. Say, if you went to a Halloween party and wanted to wow people with your Yahtzee prowess.

Halloween Yahtzee and regular Yahtzee are both suitable for anyone aged 8 years and up.
