Red mouse, blue Ghost means green Bottle

Balduin the Ghost has taken pictures of all items he loves to make disappear, even himself! But the magic camera also produces lots of pictures in the wrong colors and Balduin gets muddled up and needs some assistance. The things Balduin lets disappear are himself in white, of course, a red chair, a green bottle, a blue book and a grey mouse. These items are placed in the middle of the table and all cards – they show images of the items in various color combinations - are shuffled. The top card is turned up and all players try so grab the correct item in the correct color. If no item is pictured in its correct color, you must grab the missing item in the missing color. So, when the card shows the red mouse and the blue ghost, green is missing as a color and the bottle is missing from the items, so you need to grab the green bottle (all other items are there either as item or with their color). Each player may only grab one item, if you grab the correct one, you win the card. If you make a mistake you give one of your cards to the player you grabbed the correct item. If no one grabbed the correct item, all penalty cards are placed beneath the draw-pile.  When all cards have been played, you win with most cards. In a variant the book has a special role: When the book is pictured on a card you must name the correct item, when the book is not pictured, you must still grab the item.

Geistesblitz really needs a brainwave for each new card, because you need lots of concentration to recognize which item is the correct one, a funny and jolly brain training for your mind and reaction.
