The Real Ghostbusters Card Game was a 1989 Waddington release from Great Britain. It sits in the same broad merchandise lane as the Real Ghostbusters board games, but this one is a smaller card-game package rather than a full board-and-figures production.
What was in the set
The known component list is compact: 40 cards, a red tray, a rules card, and the box itself. That makes it one of the leaner Ghostbusters tabletop releases of the era.
Where it fits
This is the kind of item that is easy to miss when people focus only on the larger Ghostbusters board games. It belongs on the hub because it is a distinct Real Ghostbusters tabletop release, not just a deck variant stuffed into another product line.
