Ghost Gary and his friends

Ghost Gary normally lives in a castle, but at the moment he is filling in for his Cousin Scarecrow Steve and is haunting mice and crows out in the country; he has also made a few new friends - green Frog Freddie, yellow Chicken Charlie and pink Piglet Peter. All four friends are placed in a circle in the middle of the table, all cards are shuffled and stacked face-down. For each round, the top card of the stack is turned up and all players check quickly, which of the four friends are depicted on this card in their correct color. Each of the cards shows two or three friends with their correct color. All players try simultaneously to grab those correctly depicted friends. If you manage to grab one or even more than one of those friends, you receive a reward card for each friend you grabbed, either the current card or one from the face-down stack. For a new round, you put all friends back in a circle on the table. When all cards have been used up, the game ends and you win with most cards.

In a game for more experienced players of ages 6+, Ghost Gary appears as a black ghost, as he likes to play in the chimney! If Gary is depicted in black on a card, you must not grab any friend. If you react correctly and do not grab any figure, you are rewarded with a card. If, however you make a mistake and grab a friend, you must give back a card, provided you have got one.

A very simple mechanism, but yet a nice challenge due to the varying arrangements, sizes and colors of the friends; you practice quick and correct reaction and motor skills. Plus, the junior version of the classic reaction game is lots of fun, too!
