## Description
Get ready for an extra dose of scares and laughs with Geistesblitz: Spooky Doo, the latest addition to Zoch's crazy family of fast-thinking games! Arriving in a charming metal box, this game brings two new characters to the party: the barrel and the fez. The basic rules of Geistesblitz remain the same – whoever grabs the right item fastest, wins! But now, with the fez, things get even more fun and challenging. This stylish hat can cover any of the other objects, and guessing what's hidden underneath becomes a new game in itself. Imagine Balduin, the resident ghost, taking photos with an old, magical camera. The problem? The camera distorts colors, turning a green bottle white or blue, and Balduin gets more lost than a blind man in a shootout about what he wanted to make disappear. That's where you come in! Help Balduin identify the correct objects, or even better, grab them before he gets confused. It's a festival of shape and color recognition that will test everyone's reflexes, from kids to the most experienced gamers. Each round, a new card reveals two objects, but with potentially wrong colors. If one object has the correct color, grab it! If both have wrong colors, then things get complicated: you need to grab the object whose color does NOT appear on the card. And if the fez comes into play? Ah, then the rule changes: if you have to grab the fez, say the name of the item it's covering. If you have to grab the item under the fez, grab the fez itself! The first to grab the correct object takes the card, and whoever makes a mistake has to give back a card. Collect the most cards and emerge victorious from this ghostly hunt!

Not necessarily! The basic rules are the same, and the 'fez' introduces a new layer of challenge that works well on its own. It's easy to learn, but hard to master!
