Phantom Ink: Arcana is a
party game by
Resonym that immerses players in a world of mediums and spirits, enhanced with magical tarot-style Arcana cards and mysterious clues to decipher.
In Phantom Ink: Arcana, teams of Mediums race against each other to guess a secret object that their Spirit is trying to convey. Players ask questions, receive cryptic clues, and call out “Silencio!” to stop their rivals from gaining too much information. With Arcana cards and crystals, you gain powerful abilities to accelerate your team’s deduction.
How to play:
Players split into teams, each consisting of one Spirit and one or more Mediums. The Spirit knows the secret object and slowly writes down a clue on a shared sheet, while the Medium calls “Silencio!” to cut the clue short at just the right moment. Teams can play Arcana cards to bend the rules: ask an extra question, reveal a hidden letter, or manipulate clue cards. The first team to guess the object correctly wins.
Why it’s recommended:
Phantom Ink: Arcana is an ideal choice for parties and game nights. It’s quick to learn, highly interactive, beautifully illustrated, and adds fresh mechanics to the Phantom Ink universe. Play it as a standalone game or combine it with the original for even more variety and replay value.
