Phantom Ink: Arcana
Players split into two competing teams that both try to identify the same secret object by communicating through spirit-and-medium roles. On each round, spirit players receive a secret object and answer a sequence of quirky question prompts (e.g., “What would it have as a pet?”) to produce partial-word clues, while their medium teammates interpret those partial words to guess the object. Mediums can spend crystals to play tarot-themed Arcana cards that grant one-time or ongoing benefits—such as extra question options or revealing a hidden letter—to steer their guesses. The opposing team sees the spirit’s answers but not the exact questions, and mediums may call “Silencio” to lock in a clue and deny additional context to opponents. Includes new question cards, a large batch of secret objects, and a cooperative 2–3 player mode.
