Ghost Blitz

Balduin, the house ghost, found an old camera in the castle cellar. Immediately he photographed everything that he loves to make disappear when he is haunting  – including himself, of course. Unfortunately, the enchanted camera takes many photos in the wrong colors. Sometimes the green bottle is white, at other times it's blue. Looking at the photos, Balduin doesn't really remember any more what he wanted to make disappear next. Can you help him with his haunting and quickly name the right item, or even make it disappear by yourself? If you grab the right items quickly, you have a good chance of winning...

The lightning fast shape and color recognition game that is sure to test the reflexes of kids, families and gamers alike. In Ghost Blitz, five wooden items sit on the table waiting to be caught: a white ghost, a green bottle, a cute grey mouse, a blue book, and a comfortable red chair. Each card in the deck shows pictures of two objects, with one or both objects colored the wrong way. With all players playing at the same time, someone reveals a card, then players grab for the "right" object – but which object is right?

If one object is colored correctly – say, a green bottle and a red mouse – then players need to grab that correctly colored object.

If both objects are colored incorrectly – say, a green ghost and a red mouse – then you look for the object and color not represented among the four details shown. In this case you see green, red, ghost and mouse, so players need to grab the blue book.

The first player to grab the correct object keeps the card, then reveals the next card from the deck. If a player grabs the wrong object, she must discard one card previously collected. Once the card deck runs out, the game ends and whoever has collected the most cards wins!

Superfly

To win Superfly, you need to make a smashing success, squashing all the right bugs along the way.

At the start of each turn, a number of cards are laid out, then someone counts "1, 2, 3!" at which point everyone smashes their die-filled flyswatter onto their chosen card. If you're the only one to swat a card, you claim it; if multiple people swat a card, then whoever "rolled" the highest number with the die in their flyswatter wins the card. The only exception: If you rolled a number that matches the number on the card, then the bug is killed and removed from play!

You continue taking turns until someone has collected five cards, then you see who has the largest collection of cards all in the same color, all with the same number, or with none of the cards having the same number or color. Whoever has this largest collection wins the round and collects a fly-hunter token. You then shuffle all the cards to begin a new round, and whoever first collects three fly-hunter tokens wins!
