Strawberry Ghost
Created | Updated Nov 1, 2009
Ghosts and strawberries. Could there be a more logical combination?
Clicking on the strawberries will advance you through the game, but be careful - click a ghost, and you go back a level!

You Win! Congratulations! Now you, too, know the thrill of being the youngest player in a game of Strawberry Ghost!
The original Strawberry Ghost was invented by the Sistabarista when she was four, carefully drawn in crayon on the back of something mis-printed. Players advanced along a row of squares, collecting strawberries, and whenever they hit a square with a ghost, the ghost moved - though that had absolutely no effect on gameplay. Her rules for it stated that the first person to reach the end wins, the youngest player starts, and there are no dice - each player moves exactly one square per turn. Guess who was the youngest person in the house...
