Five wooden objects sit on the table, including a white ghost, green frog, and blue hairbrush. Each card shows two objects with colors often mixed up. Players simultaneously race to grab or name the correct object, sometimes using a foreign language. Mistakes cost collected cards. The player with the most cards at the end wins.
