About the game
Phantasmic: Necromancy is a six-card expansion that adds more tension and strategy to the already exciting necromancy card game. The new content brings five spell cards and one book card, which, when combined with the original deck, increase the variety of moves and the complexity of betting. The expansion also allows adding a fourth player, raising the competitiveness and making each match even more unpredictable. At the heart of the game, players try to control the book column while using their spell cards to attack and defend. Each conflict is resolved by playing cards, where the strength and effect of the cards determine the victor. The ultimate goal is to be the last one standing, surviving all rounds of bluffing and betting. The “King of the Hill” mechanic makes whoever dominates the center maintain the advantage, but each round the other players can turn the game. To play, simply add the expansion cards to the base game deck, set up as usual, and follow the original rules. The result is a short game, about 15 minutes long, perfect for those who enjoy quick, surprise-filled matches.
