Description

Get ready for a thrilling game of deduction and teamwork with Phantom Ink: Arcana, the latest release from acclaimed game designers Mary Flanagan and Max Seidman. In this fast-paced party game, 2 to 8 players are divided into two teams, each trying to uncover the same secret object. The twist is that each team has a spirit who knows the object, and they must answer questions from their teammates to provide clues without giving away too much to the opposing team. With a playtime of just 15 to 30 minutes, Phantom Ink: Arcana is the perfect game for a quick gathering or party. The game is easy to learn, with simple rules that can be explained quickly, making it accessible to players of all skill levels. As teams take turns asking questions and providing clues, they can also use special Arcana cards to gain an advantage. These cards offer unique abilities, such as increasing the number of question cards they can choose from or secretly learning the next letter of a clue. But beware - the other team is watching, and they can try to disrupt your progress by calling "Silencio" when they think they know the clue. With its unique blend of communication limits, deduction, and teamwork, Phantom Ink: Arcana is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more.
