2 to 8 players, ages 8+, with 30 minutes of playing time
Gesitesblitz 2.0, kindly designed by Jacques Zeimet, brought to us by our friends at Zoch Verlag .
In Geistblitz 2.0 we find "Ghost" (and 4 new items), Baldwin's companion to Geist in Geistblitz , and this new game is basically a reimagining of the original. Designed as an "indie game", it can be played without the original, but in my opinion, the unnecessary pain can be combined with the original!
Given the similarities to the first Brainstorm, this review will build on my first review and rather than rehash the entire game, I'll try to highlight the differences, although this will follow my standard approach.
The following overview of the game is divided into 5 sections: Game Sections Game Settings How to play the game What do we think ? And who do we think he loves in the end ? So if you don't want to read the whole review, just skip the topic you want.

according to the original
Who do we think he loves?
It's no surprise that this first game was so popular with families and gamers alike (like Mullet) that Joe decided to capitalize on its success and create variations on the original game.
Obviously the "adults" of the original will want this game, but I have a hard time seeing most people rushing to buy it when you already own the original. The game you get may depend on the attitude of the people you play with. As an adult, you'll probably choose the cheapest, while playing with the kids, you might decide to "die" the Geistblitz 2.0 woman.
I recommend parents who love to play with their kids to consider this fast and challenging game. Although I'm not sure the grandparents will appreciate it if the kids are the next time you see them!
As a game that tests our cognitive processes, hand-eye coordination and judgement, it may also be of interest to youth and professionals working with others who need help developing these skills.

Game elements
The red towel (very much like the Mark rug), the green frog, the blue brush and the gray bathtub, are definitely "ghosts"; Feminine stunning false eyelashes and luscious lips to convey femininity!
A new card game.

How to play the game
The core rules remain the same, but 3 new optional rules have been introduced to increase pain.
Talking frog!
If the flipped card shows a frog, the player calls out the name of the correct object instead of reaching for the object.
Frogs speak two languages!
If the frog or other object on the card is the first color, the player calls out the name of the object in a foreign language.
If no picture appears in the first color, describe the item's name in English (alternatively The Talking Frog!).
Of course, before you start playing, you agree to a foreign language where you recite the rules to pretend you know the names of things in French, German, and Italian.
Does the towel dry?
Each time a napkin is drawn on the card, the player searches for an item that is the color of the napkin. If one of the pictures on the card is a frog, name the correct object, otherwise pick up the object.
The rules for wrong calling and talking are the same, the player has only one attempt and the wrong player is trying to pay the correct player the losing card. Of course, when there are no more cards, the player with the most cards wins.

Spectator Rules
In addition to the above differences, for those who consider the rules "careful" (or should I say masochistic idiots), v2.0 has an option to merge the original brainwave - I don't understand why you would want to. Do it!
By placing each game object in a separate circle in the center of the table and shuffling the cards, the game continues as normal, allowing the card to enter one of the more listed variations than shown in the first suit. Same color as substance in other room.

What do we think?
It's hard for me because I drink this game and it's hard for me to get over the attitude of a friend, which is 'when I win, the game is good, and when I win, losing is great, the game hurts. "
Geistblitz 2.0 is of course nothing because the success of the first led to the creation of this second version.
This game introduces language elements (although it is very simple in origin) and thus makes the cognitive process stronger.
The absolute weak point of this game for me is when I play with two young friends (11 and 16) when they start waiting for me to start! Unfortunately, when I picked up the wrong item again, they abandoned this tactic and continued their efforts in battle. Enough that I got about 5 cards due to Marcia defeating her older brother.
This game definitely works for some people and after I stuck around I found it to be great, if not like a memory game (it scared me and some of my old friends at first). This clearly shows the value of this game and the experience of seeing skill improve with repeated play was witnessed by a gaming friend of mine who borrowed the first Brainstorm to play with his family for Christmas in Scotland.
