Playing Fantascatti requires association and reasoning skills, as choices must be made quickly and without errors. You must place the colored objects on the table: a blue helmet, a gray cat, a white ghost, a yellow candle and a red chest. Once the card is revealed, you may have to do two things: if the tile represents an object of the same color as the one on the table, players must take it immediately. When objects of a different color than the real ones are represented, you must take the object that is not represented and with different colors than those on the card.
But it doesn't end there: once you become an expert, you can play with two other modes!
