Spooky Doo

Ghost Balduin is haunting about again and finds something that he thinks is a lamp shade, or maybe a bottle cooler, but, lo and behold, it is a hat, or to be correct, it looks more like a Fez, under which you can hide lots of things including yourself. Ghost, bottle, mouse and barrel are set up in a circle, and you put the hat randomly over one of those four pieces. The top card is revealed and you try to grab the correct piece as fast as you can:

When a piece is depicted on the card in its correct color, you grab this piece, you are allowed to use one hand only. If no piece is depicted correctly, you take the piece that is not pictured and whose color is missing. When the piece is wanted that is beneath the hat, that is, neither the item nor its original color is depicted on the card, you lift the hat to show the piece underneath it, you do not say anything. But when the hat is wanted, because his shape and color are missing, you must name the item hidden beneath the hat and are not allowed to take any piece or to lift the hat!

If you are first to react correctly, that is, to take the correct piece, call its name or lift the hat, you get the card. All pieces are put back into the middle; when the hat lifted or the piece was wanted that is hidden beneath the hat, you put the hat on a different piece.  Each player has only one chance to react correctly; if you make a mistake, you lose a card. When all cards have been taken, you win with most.

Brainwave wanted! An attractive mind twister, already in its fourth version and still going strong, it is challenging, fast and lots of fun!
