## Description
Vlotte Geesten Promospel is the streamlined, card‑only version of the original Vlotte Geesten, designed for lightning‑fast play. The story is simple: Balduin, the house ghost, discovered a magical camera in the castle cellar and started photographing everything he likes to make vanish – including himself. The catch? The enchanted camera loves swapping colors. Sometimes the green bottle shows up white, other times the blue book appears red. Players must look at the picture cards and either name the correctly colored object or, when both colors are wrong, figure out which object‑color combination is missing from the four details shown and grab it. 

On the table sit five wooden pieces: a white ghost, a green bottle, a cute grey mouse, a blue book and a red chair. Each card depicts two objects, each possibly painted in the right or wrong hue. When a card is turned face‑up, everyone simultaneously reaches for the correct item. The first to do so keeps the card and the game moves to the next card. A wrong grab forces the player to discard one previously won card. The game ends when the deck runs out, and the player with the most cards wins. 

Playtime is about 10 minutes, for 2‑8 players, and the complexity rating is essentially zero. It’s a test of reflexes, visual pattern recognition and split‑second decision‑making, ideal for kids, families and any group that enjoys real‑time action games. The only components are the illustrated cards and the five wooden tokens, making it compact and travel‑friendly. If you love fast, color‑matching challenges with a dash of logic, Vlotte Geesten Promospel will keep you on the edge of your seat.
