2020 will likely see two new Phantom games produced and released to the public with the "Treasures of Drakon" Board Game produced by Frew Games and "The Phantom: Card Game" by Mikael Lyck. On the back of this I have reviewed the Spanish Phantom 2040 Board Game including a translation of the rules for when you play the game at home.
Note: In translating the text for this game, Google Translate was used. As such, some of the translation may not be 100% correct. Words in brackets [] I have added to make the translation run better and may not be an exact translation.
Three years ago we did a general review of all Phantom games including this game but this is a full in depth review including the translated instructions. You can watch the original Phantom Games Review Video at the bottom of this article.

B) The scope of one card per bid in the WHITE boxes forces the first to start a new business from the OUTPUT box. [this must be incorrectly translated as it makes no sense]
