## Description
Get ready for a breathtaking adventure in 'Quiet Now, Phantom Thieves!', where you and a friend transform into phantom thieves on a mission to steal a legendary painting. But hold on, it's not just a walk in the park! The museum is crawling with hyper-alert security guards, and the slightest sound can trigger the alarm. Can you manage to infiltrate, snatch the artwork, and vanish without getting caught? The core idea here is that, just like real phantom thieves, you can't make a sound – and this translates into limited communication during the game. You'll have to work together, playing cards strategically to advance through the museum, evade the guards, and ensure your escape with the treasure. As you progress, security guards will appear, and that's where hand management comes into play: use your cards wisely to throw them off your scent. If you get too confident and miscalculate the risk, capture is inevitable! The game offers a variety of card effects to help you, from shooing away guards and moving silently to using unique asymmetrical abilities for each thief, which can be activated only once per game. It's a tense game of trust and cooperation, where avoiding the alarm and escaping with the loot means victory. Ready for the challenge?
