Le Fantôme de l'Opéra

A two-player, asymmetric deduction duel set in the Opéra Garnier where one player secretly is the Phantom and the other is the Investigator. Eight suspect tokens occupy ten rooms; one suspect is secretly the Phantom and the Investigator tries to identify that token before the prima donna flees. Players take turns moving all suspects and activating unique abilities to reveal or hide information: some characters use secret passages, others shift a blackout token or block corridors, and several manipulate nearby figures to create or break alibis. Rounds alternate revealed card groups and resolve whether the Phantom can create a disturbance, after which the prima donna advances toward fleeing; play ends when only one suspect remains un-cleared or she escapes.

Not a deduction game like I originally thought. Just an elimination game where you are trying to out maneuver your opponent. Very strategic and fun.

Very enjoyable 2 player deduction game. Feels fresh and interesting each turn. There's enough randomness to make it replayable, but not too much that it feels like luck is making all the decisions. Plays nice and quick too!

The best Mr. Jack game out there as one can adjust (handicap) the better player.
