About the game

What is The Phantom League?

In Phantom League, you are the captain of a merchant spaceship. You begin as a nobody with a hunger for recognition and glory that will soon lead you onto a path of fame or notoriety! Build your career through trading, piracy, exploring new systems and eliminating your rivals in the other Leagues – phantom alliances powerful enough to challenge law and political order across the known universe. This game features: • A modular board – every game is different • Card-driven game play – you, not the dice, are in control of the game • A wide range of actions and strategies – there is no single best way to win • Cooperative and competitive interaction – choose when to ally with or conspire against other players Phantom League is designed for 2-6 players of 12 years and up, and will take approximately 2 hours to play. Phantom League is inspired by David Braben’s video game Elite.
