Description
Tricks and the Phantom is a quick and clever deduction game for 2 to 4 players that's easy to learn and plays out in just 10 to 20 minutes. Designed by Takashi Saito and Jun Sasaki, this 2017 release is all about figuring out who's got the highest card, but with a twist - there's a phantom lurking, trying to throw you off track. As you play, you'll need to use a combination of bluffing and deduction to outsmart your opponents. With each player having only a handful of cards, you'll need to pay close attention to the colors and special effects that are revealed, all while trying to read your fellow players' minds. It's not just about the cards you've got, but about how well you can psyche out the competition. With its unique blend of strategy and social interaction, Tricks and the Phantom is a game that's as much about people as it is about cards.
