Want and Fancy 两个词的区别

Hello BBC, my name is Seang Tan, I come from Malaysia. I have a question about the differences between want and fancy. As an example, if I say, 'Do you want to come to my house?' can I use 'Do you fancy come my house?' instead? Are there other usages of the word fancy? Thank you.
