This is not a player elimination game, so unless someone just runs away with an early commanding lead it is anyone’s game until the final card is played.

In Ghost Blitz, five wooden items sit on the table waiting to be caught: a white ghost, a green bottle, a cute grey mouse, a blue book, and a comfortable red chair. Shuffle the deck of cards and put it facedown in the middle of the table, next to the five wooden pieces (white ghost, blue book, green bottle, red chair and grey mouse). In Ghost Blitz, five wooden items sit on the table waiting to be caught: a white ghost, a green bottle, a cute grey mouse, a blue book, and a comfortable red chair. The objects and colours on the cards have corresponding wooden items on the table: a white ghost, a green bottle, a cute grey mouse, a blue book, and a comfortable red chair.If neither object matches in colour you must grab the item which neither matches in item or colour on the card. I witnessed a hardcore strategy wargamer, an eight-year-old, and my non-gaming mother-in-law enjoying Geistesblitz equally. With both of these adding more ifs and buts to the ruleset that are sure to make you rethink once, twice or more which item to grab, or at times shout out. All of this wacky color changing makes Balduin very confused and it is our job to help him sort things out. If one object is coloured correctly - say, a green bottle and a red mouse - then players need to grab that correctly coloured object.

As he roams about the castle Balduin likes to take pictures with his enchanted camera of objects he likes to make disappear. Ghost Blitz is nothing more than 5 different colored items and a deck of cards with images of two of the 5 items in 2 of the 5 colours. With all players playing at the same time, someone reveals a card, then players grab for the “right” object – but which object is right?ALL THE GHOULS COME OUT TO PLAY Catch the adorable wooden white ghost, the green bottle, the grey mouse and the red chair. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Whoever grabs the right object first takes the card and puts it into their scoring pile, then the next player flips a card to start the next turn. In fact, you may find it to be a nice equaliser for playing against those with quicker fingers but slower tongues.

With five small objects, in five different colours, your task is to be the first to grab the one that doesn't appear on the card just laid down - and doesn't have the same colour as any of the images on the card either! You only have milliseconds to identify the odd one out before someone else grabs it from under your nose! Ghost Blitz stars five unlikely heroes: a red chair, a blue book, a grey mouse, a green bottle and a white ghost.

The first player to grab the correct object keeps the card, then reveals the next card from the deck. Also, competitive spouses and siblings have a tendency to get a little violent when snatching the objects—I guess some families play for blood. Looking at the box may have you raising your eyebrows wondering why I’ve given Geistesblitz such a high score. Rules are grasped in 1 minute but quickly you realize that it’s not as easy as you though to spot the right object before your adversary, especially when you play with the 2nd variant. The lightning fast shape and color recognition game that is sure to test the reflexes of kids, families and gamers alike.

However, if you grab the wrong item you must give up one of your previous earned points, either discard it or as an optional rule, give it to the player who grabbed the correct item. If one object is coloured correctly – say, a green bottle and a red mouse – then players need to grab that correctly coloured object. Prepare to be spooked by the new English Language edition of Ghost Blitz, the classic kids board game from Big Potato Games, just in time for Christmas. But you better be quick because you have milliseconds to decide which one to reach for before someone else nabs its from under your nose!

If neither figure is depicted in its original colour, you have to grab the item whose shape or colour cannot be found on the card. If the book is shown you then must shout the correct answer, otherwise you grab the right object like normal. Players may try to snatch items out of each other’s hands or even push another player’s hand into the wrong object. However, if a revealed card had a green mouse and a blue ghost then you have to quickly recognise the only piece not depicted on the card.
