## Description
Get ready for an extra dose of chaos and agility with Ghost Blitz: 5 to 12! If you thought the original game was fast, wait until you see this souped-up version. Here, the table becomes a frantic battlefield with nine colorful objects full of shapes waiting to be grabbed. Each round, a card reveals three of these items, and the hunt begins: which one should you grab? The general rule is simple: grab the object that has neither the same shape nor the same color shown on the card. But beware, because the exceptions are many and fast! If an item appears in its original color, that's the one you have to grab immediately. Saw an owl on the card? Forget grabbing, you need to shout the name of the correct object. And if the ghost appears with a clock, the mission changes to guessing the time! Oh, and when the magic mirror comes into play, all other rules go out the window, and you just need to grab whatever is reflected. The goal is simple: collect as many cards as possible before the deck runs out. It's pure real-time fun, perfect for livening up any party or gathering with friends who aren't afraid of a little fierce competition and guaranteed laughs. Ideal for those who enjoy games that hilariously test reflexes and observation.
