About this board game
Ghost Blitz is a fast-paced shape and color recognition game for 2–8 players, with each game taking about 20 minutes. Five wooden objects sit on the table while players race to identify and grab the correct one.
The objects are a white ghost, a green bottle, a grey mouse, a blue book, and a red chair. Each card shows two objects, but one or both may appear in the wrong colors, challenging players to react quickly and interpret what they see.
When a card is revealed, everyone plays at the same time. If one object is shown in its correct color, grab that object. If both objects are incorrectly colored, look for the object and color that do not appear among the card’s four details. The correct answer could be an object that is not pictured at all.
- Five wooden items: ghost, bottle, mouse, book, and chair.
- Simultaneous play: all players race to make the correct grab.
- Quick recognition: interpret shapes and colors under pressure.
- Simple scoring: collect cards for correct grabs and lose a previously collected card after a mistake.
The first player to take the right object keeps the revealed card, and then the next card is turned over. A wrong grab has a cost: that player must discard one card they have already collected.
When the deck runs out, the game ends. The player with the most collected cards wins. With its compact rules and simultaneous action, Ghost Blitz turns familiar objects and deceptively simple pictures into a lively test of attention and reflexes for children, families, and gamers.
