PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Wo versteckt sich das Gespenst?

Behind yellow curtains?

 

Ghosts as nice, friendly playmates instead of frighteners of children. 32 cards in the game depict four items and four ghosts, each in colors of green, red, yellow and blue. You can use those cards to play two different games:

Tall 32 cards are shuffled and laid out face-down on the table. One card is turned up for a template card and begins the discard stack. The active player must find a card corresponding in color to the top card of the discard stack and continue to search and turn up cards until you have found a suitable card. Such a card is then placed on top of the discard pile and you add one card of your choice from your hand for a new template. The next player must now find a card in this color. When there are no more cards left on the table you continue to play with your hand cards and can place suitable cards on the discard stack. If you are first to be rid of all your cards you win.

In the second variant, a slightly more difficult one, it is not sufficient to find a card corresponding in color; images must complement each other: When the template card, for instance, is a red ghost you must then find a red item for a hiding place and - vice versa - should the first card depict an item for a hiding you place you must find a ghost of the same color to hide there.

Like all games from this Lithuanian company, "Wo versteckt sich das Gespenst?" is a very simple game with a little twist; in this case it is the combination of memo and card shedding - the better your memory the fewer cards you need to get rid of in the closing phase of the game - a nice educational game for colors and memory.
