Ooky Spooky (2002)

Ooky Spooky is a "British Product" Contents: 36 numbered picture cards (numbered 1-10) 10 Ooky Spooky cards Play: The object of the game is to use all of the cards in your hand. The game contains two sets of rules. One set involves open play and the other set bluffing/closed play. Because of the simple nature of the game it is possible for players to invent countless variants around the given rule sets. The central themes are that, after the initial play, players (in turn) may place 1 or 2 cards that add up to or exceed by one, the value of the preceding player's last card (i.e. the top card). The second theme of the game is the Ooky Spooky (Ghost) card which spooks the next player into missing a go (and picking up two more cards). The game has attractive graphics and thick cards (more like tiles). The box states Ages 5 - 9, but the game(s) could have wider appeal. Easily expanded by buying another box.
