About this game

Ghost Blitz throws five wooden objects on the table, a ghost, a bottle, a mouse, a book and a chair, and then makes your brain betray you by flipping a card where the colors never quite match reality. See a green bottle on the card? Grab the mouse instead, because green means whatever the actual green object isn't. Fastest correct grab keeps the card, but panic-grabbing the wrong thing costs you. It sounds impossible to explain and takes about ninety seconds to actually learn, then becomes pure reflex chaos. A tiny box that turns every table into a battlefield of twitchy hands.
