The investigators are ready to accuse the criminal, but there’s one problem: the Phantom may be hiding among the suspects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"216\" data-end=\"646\"\u003eIn \u003cstrong data-start=\"219\" data-end=\"245\"\u003eTricks and the Phantom\u003c\/strong\u003e, players use a tiny deck of cards to solve a quick deduction puzzle. Each round, players secretly choose cards, then try to figure out which card represents the real criminal. Usually, the culprit is the highest-numbered card, but special card conditions can change everything. One card might become the criminal only if a certain number appears. Another might matter only if the other cards are low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"648\" data-end=\"994\"\u003eYou’ll need to watch what colours people played, think through the possible card effects, and decide who the real criminal is. But be careful: the Phantom is also in the mix, trying to lure investigators into choosing the wrong target. Guess the criminal correctly and you score points. Get tricked by the Phantom and things can turn against you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"1329\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"1022\"\u003eTricks and the Phantom\u003c\/strong\u003e is a quick deduction card game with bluffing, logic, and a neat little mystery packed into a tiny Oink Games box.
