Ghost Blitz
Five wooden objects, one card, and a race to grab the right thing.
What it is
A grab-it reaction game for 2 to 8, perfect for families who enjoy a bit of lunging across the table. Five wooden pieces sit in the middle: a white ghost, green bottle, grey mouse, blue book and red chair. Each card shows two objects, and if one appears in its true color you grab it. If neither does, you have to work out which piece has neither its shape nor its color on the card and grab that instead.
What we love
- The second rule forces real thinking at speed
- 60 photo cards and five sturdy wooden pieces
- Flip, grab and repeat, with no waiting around
Honest trade-offs
- Fast reflexes decide it, so adults may need to go easy on young kids
- The ghost is a friendly cartoon figure with a faulty camera, and there is no spirit contact in play
- Grabbing can get physical, so mind the elbows
