About the game

What you do in a play session

Imagine you're a ghost named Balduin who decided to photograph everything he loves to make disappear. The catch? His camera is enchanted and often messes up the colors! Now, Balduin is confused and needs your help to sort through the photos. In Ghost Blitz, the goal is straightforward, but the execution is a delightful chaos: you must grab the correct object as fast as you possibly can.

Five wooden items sit on the table: a white ghost, a green bottle, a grey mouse, a blue book, and a red chair. When a card is revealed, everyone jumps into action. If the card shows an object with the correct color (like a green bottle), you grab the bottle. But what happens if both objects on the card are the wrong color? That's where the brain-teaser kicks in: you must grab the object and color that are NOT represented on the card. For example, if you see a green ghost and a red mouse, the colors green and red and the objects ghost and mouse are already taken. What's left? The blue book!

The first player to grab the correct item keeps the card and reveals the next one. However, if you're too hasty and grab the wrong object, you have to discard one of your previously collected cards. The game ends when the deck runs out, and the player with the most cards wins. It's the perfect game for laughs, testing reflexes, and seeing who has the sharpest visual perception in the group. It's fast, frenetic, and ideal for those who don't mind a bit of friendly chaos on the table!
