Watch “THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA -- playthrough (2p) A Two Player Trick-Taking Masterpiece?!,” a gameplay video for The Phantom of the Opera on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Board Game Gumbo (Board Game Gumbo) on YouTube:
Geonil is a Korean designer who is perfecting the art of designing interesting takes on two-player only trick-taking games. Luckily for us, 25th Century Games has been bringing these games over to us trick-taking fans in their crowdfunding projects.
We only have two plays so far, but wow, The Phantom of the Opera might be Geonil's best yet. It's a thematic re-creation of the book-meets-musical where Christine must stop The Phantom from completing his greatest musical masterpiece. But instead of trying to win tricks -- Christine and The Phantom must win OR lose tricks, depending on the requirements of the musical piece. And there's some lagniappe -- a super trump that only gets decided by the players each round.
If you want more opportunities to play some of GEONIL's two player trick-taking games, 25th Century Games has an ongoing kickstarter right now for two more. We are backers!

Until next time, laissez les bon temps rouler!
