=== Mise en place ===

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As usual, place the starting tile in the center of the table and place 3 ghosts on it.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Place the '''cat''' at the edge of the play area. Then place '''7 ghosts''' in front of the cat. The remaining ghosts (depending on the level) are placed in a '''separate supply''' next to the play area. Shuffle the '''9 tiles with spell circles''' with the rest of the tiles. Then setup the game as usual, depending on which level you want to play.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
{{DottedFrameMessage|align=center|text=Note: For levels 3-6, you must divide the tiles into 3 equal stacks of 23 tiles each.}}

You must therefore move ghosts '''from other tiles''' are '''directly adjacent''' (8 tiles, orthogonally or diagonally) to the '''placed tile'''. Place them in the spell circles shown.

Level 2-4: You only have to place an extra ghost to an open cemetery if you place a ghost '''from the supply''' into a spell circle.

The spell circles have another special feature: Ghosts that are trapped in spell circles are held until the mist bank in which the spell circle is located is '''completed'''.

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|title=2a. Placing ghosts|rules=
At the beginning of the game there are 7 ghosts in front of the cat Eloise. Whenever you have to take ghosts from the '''supply''', you take them from the '''cat's supply'''. If you remove ghosts from the board, you also put them back into the cat’s supply.

As soon as there are '''no more ghosts''' in the cat’s supply (i.e. 10 or more ghosts on the board), you must place the cat. <ref>

The rules mention 10 ghosts because, you already placed 3 ghosts on the start tile.

{{RulesScoring|title=3. Scoring a feature|rules=
As soon as you score '''the meeple with the cat''', you immediately get as many points as there are '''ghosts in spell circles at that time'''. <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
You score the completed feature first and you may choose to forgo its points in order to remove ghosts from a tile as usual (except from spell circles). Then you score the cat, but you may never choose to forego its points to remove ghosts instead, the same as with the hounds (these points do not correspond to a feature).

If this meeple is scored, you again get points for ghosts in spell circles, then move the cat, etc. So the cat '''stays in the game''' until you win or lose.

[[File:Spell_Circles_C3_Example_04.png|frame|none|'''Example 4:''' You place this tile and put 1 ghost in the spell circle. Since the city is completed, the meeple is scored and you get 4 points.

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
You still have the usual number of ghosts available. When the supply in front of Eloise is empty, you take the other ghosts from the separate supply. Once the cat is in play, you have 1 ghost supply as usual.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''Special case:''' If you don't have a meeple on the game board and you have to place Eloise, you place her next to the game board. You then place her again together with the next meeple.
