Phantas

Phantas is a German-language fantasy adventure board game designed by Horst Zisling and originally published in 1981. The game is set in the land of Phantas, where four small kingdoms have been torn apart by a great darkness. Players take on the roles of knights, wizards, and other heroes who must band together to defeat the dark forces and save the world.

The game is played on a large game board that consists of a map of the land, divided into territories that must be explored and conquered. Players move their characters through the territories, completing quests, fighting battles, and collecting treasure and other items. The first player to reach the final destination and complete their quest wins the game.

Phantas is known for its complex rules and strategic gameplay. Players must manage their characters' abilities, resources, and relationships with other players in order to achieve their objectives. The game includes a wide range of components, including game boards, cards, tokens, and miniatures.

Phantas has been praised for its immersive gameplay and theming. The game's fantasy setting and complex gameplay have drawn in many fans of the genre, and it has become a modern classic among strategy board games. Despite some criticism of its rules and complexity, Phantas remains a beloved and respected game among enthusiasts.

In 2011, Phantas was re-released in an updated edition, with improved rules and graphics. The new edition has introduced the game to a new generation of players and expanded its existing fan base.
