Fantom Staré Prahy

About this game

Plagiat of "Scotland Yard". Made in Czechoslovakia some time in the late 80s. One of the players takes on the role of a mysterious "fantom". His job is to move from point to point around the map of Praha taking taxis, trams, boats or horse drawn carriages. The detectives, the remaining players acting in concert, move around similarly in an effort to move into the same space as the "fantom". But while the criminal's mode of transportation is nearly always known, his exact location is only known intermittently throughout the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
