Description
Tricks and the Phantom is a simple deduction game using only ten (or eleven) cards with a little bluffing element. Deduce the culprit from among the four persons. However, there may be a "phantom" who attempts to confuse you.
In the base game, ten cards are dealt to four players, so players have hands of only two or three cards. As in a trick-taking game, each player plays one card face down in turn order. While doing this, each player forecasts who has the highest card (that is, the culprit). Each card has a color (suit), and you have to show that color when you play the card; this allows opponents to narrow down the number of your card, but some cards have a special effect, so big numbers don't win automatically. Points are awarded to whoever played the highest card (the culprit) and to whoever correctly forecasted that player winning.
Tricks and the Phantom is not just card luck. It is a strategy inference game that requires you to read each other's psychology.

9.0/10
A fantastic deduction game that gives players just enough info to make educated choices without it becoming an easily mathed-out puzzle.
8.0/10
I absolutely love this form of deduction and deception. I think sometimes it's a bit too speculative.... and other times it absolutely sings. But would love to see a game that captures the feeling of this game at its best in a more consistent fashion. Not sure it's out there yet.
8.0/10
Tricks and the Phantom is a great cross between a trick-taker and social deduction (leaning more towards social deduction than trick-taking). Simple rules, great components and aesthetic from this Oink game makes it a Love Letter-esque game that I am happy to play and play again.
