To the rules, that is. The gameplay? That can be a bit of a stretch, but that’s because the rules stretch your brain in different directions. And that’s what makes the game so much fun. In one instance, you want to grab the object that’s on the card. In another, you don’t want to grab the object on the card, but there are three objects not present on every card, and you have to eliminate them one by one. Then you grab for something, but darn it! Another player beat you to it. Or darn it! You grabbed the wrong object. Because the game involves so much mental processing, and the mental processing required switches from one card to the next, and this is a race against other players, it’s hard to keep your bearings. Now you have to grab the (green) BOTTLE, because neither the bottle nor the color green can be seen on the card.

If an object matches both color and object, that is the object indicated. (Example: A red book and a white ghost. The card indicates the white ghost.)

Object of the Game

The player who has grabbed the right item or, respectively, shouted out its correct name, gets this card / these cards. In the basic rules the wooden objects are laid out. A card is turned over so that everyone can read it. The card will show two of the wooden objects after which one of two scenarios will play out: Can be played alone or with friends, on the road or on a party – now “Ghost Blitz” is always there when you need it! If neither object matches its color, then the only object not represented on the card by object or color is indicated. (Example: A blue mouse and a green chair. The card again indicates the white ghost.)

Unfortunately, the enchanted camera takes many photos in the wrong colors. Sometimes the green bottle is white, other times it's blue. Looking at the photos, Balduin doesn't really remember any more what he wanted to make disappear next. Some of you might consider this a tip but if you play with someone who has sharp finger nails watch out! Also, competitive spouses and siblings have a tendency to get a little violent when snatching the objects—I guess some families play for blood. Final Remarks Unlike the majority of tile-laying games, the goal of Tsuro is not to reach any destination in particular. Like a board game equivalent of Snake, players must eternally meander across the game’s board, avoiding walls and obstacles, until everyone else is eliminated. Tsuro’s tiles display a collection of white lines, each one veering off in a different direction, which players must use to create a pathway for their token to travel along, ensuring that they neither collide with another player’s token nor venture out of the board’s middle-space. Anticipating the trajectory of your fellow players’ tokens, and planning your tile placements around them, is the bread and butter of successfully playing a game of Tsuro. Despite these strategic elements, when compared with the other titles on this list, Tsuro is a decidedly relaxing and undeniably beautiful-looking game. Hands dart out trying to grab the correct wooden object. The first player with the correct object in hand gets to keep that overturned card. You only get one guess, touch the wrong item you must give up a card to the first player who snagged the wooden object correctly. Both objects on the card are colored incorrectly; now players must grab the only object not represent on the card in any fashion.And that’s one of the great things about this game: even good players slip up. I’m pretty decent at the game (at least among those I’ve played with–I’ve yet to test my skills at a convention), but there are still rounds where I grab the wrong object, or I sit for a full twenty seconds to determine what object the upturned card is asking for while another player beats me to it. My niece and nephew don’t often beat me on the draw, but when they do, victory is that much sweeter. While I have stated repeatedly that children will love Ghost Blitz, I also want to reiterate that adults will enjoy it too. Even without children present a group of friends can have a lot of fun with this dexterity game. In fact, there is a rule variant wherein you shout out the correct piece instead of grabbing it IF there is a book present on the card. This advanced form of play creates another challenge. Looking at the box may have you raising your eyebrows wondering why I’ve given Geistesblitz such a high score. Rest assured, I’ve tried this game out with numerous gamers and the overwhelming response was “that game is brilliant.” Components

Each of you may always grab only one item. If you take an incorrect item into your hand, you give up one card (provided you have one). If you grab the right item, you lay down the turned-over card in front of you as a reward, and then turn over the next card. Ghost Blitz, published by 999 Games, comes with five pieces, 60 cards, and a rule book. The object of Ghost Blitz is to collect more cards than your opponents. Collecting a card is simple; at least it’s simple in concept, if not execution. Flip over a card and be the first player to grab the corresponding game piece accurately depicted on the card…or the piece that is not at all depicted.I’ll explain. In the box, there are 5 wooden toys, a white ghost, a red chair, a grey mouse, a blue book, and a green bottle plus some colorful cards. The cards have 2 of the items in different colors. How To Play Ghost Blitz?

If the card does not show an object with the same colour, then the first player to grab the item with all the attributes missing wins the card. Once the card is flipped up, players try to be the first to grab the correct object (and may only grab one object). The first player to grab the correct object claims the card. If anyone grabbed an incorrect object, they must give the player who grabbed the correct object one of their previously won cards. And Ghost Blitz is the kind of game you can get better at. Whenever I introduce new players, I usually make them play two games (they go fast anyway). I’m normally able to fend off all comers in the first game with ease; the second, third, and fourth games? Much more difficult. Ghost Blitz” is available in following languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Ukrainian and Russian
