Phantomonium
You died. They made you go to work anyway. Per Regulation 13-C you are required to report for active haunting duty. Briarwood Court has been assigned. Kickstarter coming in 2027. The D.S.A. recommends following along.
Players
Light-to-middleweight card game of haunting and chaos-inducing Relics. 2-4 ghost players (best with 3-4).
ASSIGNMENT
Your haunt target: Briarwood Court. Win Haunts. Unleash chaos upon your opponents. Avoid the dreaded Excorcism!
MECHANICS
Out-haunt, out-ghost, and out-sabotage your fellow ghosts. Abilities win haunts. Relics bend the rules. Chaos is policy.
STATUS
Currently in development. Playtesting has begun.
What is Phantomonium?
Phantomonium is a competitive card game of bureaucratic mayhem, chaos-inducing actions, and supernatural one-upmanship.
What? You thought death meant eternal rest? No, no. The Department of Supernatural Affairs (D.S.A.) has other plans. They wrote the rules. They determine how you play the game. As a newly deceased ghost, you'll play your abilities, deploy Relics at exactly the wrong moment to exactly the right opponent, and outwit rival ghosts to claim the title: The Ghost with the Most.
The D.S.A. notes your interest. Your assignment awaits.

Ghost Onboarding: Playtesting In Process
The Department of Supernatural Affairs is currently looking for victims volunteers to conduct field evaluations of PHANTOMONIUM in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.
Players interested in participating in live playtesting sessions are encouraged to contact us. Remote opportunities outside of Oklahoma, including digital simulation access via Tabletopia and print-at-home playtest materials are in development.
The D.S.A. notes your interest in the program. Your cooperation is appreciated. Your enthusiasm is suspicious. Interested parties should report to the D.S.A. immediately. Briarwood Court is not going to haunt itself.
NOTE: Gimblewick Games accepts no liability for supernatural incidents resulting from improper form submission, rogue relic activation, or unsanctioned poltergeist activity during play.

Briarwood Court
The D.S.A. has chosen Briarwood Court for your first haunting assignment. These residents have no idea what's coming. To be fair, most of them won't notice when it arrives. One is already filing complaints about something she can't identify or explain. Another hasn't looked up from his newspaper in three days. One family moved in two weeks ago and is already having the worst luck with the HVAC. If that's not enough, a group of meddling kids are zooming in with a ghost-hunting Vlog.
Meet the ResidentsTip: First-time agents are advised to monitor RES-011. The D.S.A. believes this resident knows what you're thinking.
