Whichever team collects the most spirit flames wins, but the game comes with a twist! Your opponent can intercept spirits from one another as players get their flames. Scary Happy Halloween 2018 Wishes: Spooky WhatsApp Messages, GIF Images, Facebook Status and Sayings to Send Witty & Funny Greetings.
