About the game
In Got Five!: Ghost, your tiles are haunted by a mischievous ghost that hides crucial information from you! As in the base game, you must deduce the numbers on your five tiles by comparing them with those of the other players—but now, the colors of some of your tiles are hidden from you, making your deductions even trickier. During setup, two Ghost tokens are placed over the tiles at the ends of your stand. The Ghosts hide those tiles' colors from you while leaving their numbers visible to the other players. During the game, play proceeds as normal, with players comparing tiles and using the information revealed by their opponents to work out their own five numbers. You cannot ask for clues about the hidden colors, so you must carefully deduce them from the information available—and choose which colors to reveal to others with care. The game ends as soon as a player shouts "GOT FIVE!" and correctly announces the five numbers on their stand. A 3-Ghost variant adds another Ghost token to the center tile, hiding the color of three tiles and making deduction even more challenging.
