Phantom Division

Step into a fully-realized 3D battlefield where your elite squad's decisions mean the difference between mission success and total failure. Phantom Division drops you and up to three friends into pulse-pounding sci-fi combat scenarios where teamwork isn't just suggested, it's essential for survival.

Help bring Phantom Division to life after five years of development. We can't do this without your support! A retail release is not guaranteed and you're getting a good deal by supporting this campaign now considering all of the premium components and content included with the game.

Phantom Division includes several Secret Envelopes. All backers of this campaign receive an extra, exclusive Secret Envelope with additional cards to unlock.

Immersive 3D Environment - Navigate through detailed environments with physical walls and doors integrated directly onto a premium neoprene playmat

Innovative Combat Systems - Choose your approach: strategic dice-based combat or test your dexterity with skill-based disc-flicking mechanics

Intelligent Enemy AI - Face off against adaptive enemy forces that respond to your tactics without requiring a dedicated player to control them

Interactive Mini-Games - Master unique challenges like shuttle landings, bomb disarming, and terminal hacking that keep the action varied and intense

No two missions ever play the same way. The mission generator creates unique objectives while unexpected plot twist cards ensure you'll never know exactly what's coming next. Adapt or fail. The choice is yours.

Phantom Division features streamlined rules that get you into the action faster while maintaining the strategic depth that tactical combat fans crave. Scale the difficulty to match your experience level with the double-sided Mission Control board.

Solo support is built into the game at its core! The AI controlled enemies allow players to enjoy the game entirely solo without any additional rules or variations to learn. Simply play the game with one player. That's it.

The creative minds behind the acclaimed SEAL Team Flix (2018), Mark Thomas and Pete C Ruth II, return with their most ambitious project yet, Refining what worked and evolving the experience into something truly extraordinary.

Modular Mission Setup: Randomized layouts for endless variety.

Line of Sight & Cover System: Realistic LOS mechanics with “peeking” rules around corners, cover blocks, and doorways.

Enemy AI Pathing: Enemies move around the playmat, following pre-determined patrol paths or reacting to Threat, moving toward disturbances.

Stealth and Threat System: Tracks how aggressive enemies become; influenced by player actions like attacking or raising alarms. Players can be detected by noise level and cameras, shifting enemy behavior.

Mini Games for Key Actions: Actions such as deploying, defusing bombs, and reviving teammates are achieved by completing unique mini-games. 

True Solo Support: No additional rules necessary to play the game solo.

You are a member of the Phantom Division, an infamous group of elite soldiers who are deployed to defend the system from impossible threats. Each Phantom has a unique backstory and speciality.

Every mission starts with a mission setup card. They determine the layout of the map - including the location of doors, walls, objectives, enemies, and more. 

Missions are dynamic, and change every time you play. Randomly drawn objectives, obstacles, enemies, and loot drops are distributed across the playmat and provide a new challenge.

Deploy your team using the insertion method required by your mission. Some insertions involve completing a mini-game, such as the shuttle insertion. Your success determines where your team starts on the map, and if they start together or not.

Your equipment generates different levels of threat when used. A stealthy approach is less likely to alert other enemies. Or charge in guns blazing and unleash utter chaos!

The Ruthless alien species known as the “Goph” have seized the area. Move from room to room and eliminate their forces at your discretion. Enemies will shoot back, move behind cover, and can spawn reinforcements. Roll the included dice to determine if a Phantom's attack was successful.

A player can choose to flick a bullet piece towards an enemy instead of rolling the dice. Different weapons utilize varying sizes and shapes of bullets, which must be skillfully flicked across the playmat. Striking an enemy may inflict damage, or other effects like stun

When you first start the game, equipment is in short supply. As you play, you will discover additional weapons and equipment, as well as unlock augments for your Phantom. You can use unlocked equipment in later missions.

Missions can end in success or failure. Your team has succeeded when all primary objectives and any special conditions have been completed. The mission has failed if your entire team have been downed, a special condition has been met, or too many rounds have elapsed.

Hacking Mini Game

Phantom Division supports true solo play! Enter a mission as a lone warrior, separated from their squad. Against all odds, complete the mission as a one phantom army - or, deploy and control multiple phantoms if you prefer. By design, Phantom Division's difficulty scales based on the number of phantoms in play. 

There is no need to learn a new game mode, extra rules, or variations to play Phantom Division on your own. The game plays exactly the same way with one phantom or four, thanks to the innovative AI enemy system and scaling map generation. 

No stickers! All of the cover blocks are screen printed. The character discs are printed in full colour.

The all-in pledge includes a larger storage box, perfect for the two expansions that are packed inside.

The 24th century was a time of global cooperation and economic prosperity. Scientific achievements flourished, and humanity turned to the skies to spread their civilization throughout the solar system. By the end of the century, every known inhabitable planet and moon had been colonized.

The Chrrmerix made first contact with Humanity on Mercury at the dawn of the new century. Because of their uncanny ability to tunnel through time-space, the humans nicknamed them Gophers, often shortening this to “Goph.” The Goph mission was to clarify Humanity’s place in the universe: you are not alone, and you are being offered a place in a galaxy-wide governance system known as The Conclave.

Shortly thereafter, through their adaptability and guile, humans began to enter The Conclave’s elite peace keeping force: the Phantom Division. Their purpose was to quell hot points across the galaxy before they erupted into violence. The Phantom Division had single-handedly preempted intragalactic war for millennia.

Eventually, some humans began to rankle at extensive alien influences in their lives. 

Our game begins as Rhonda Friendly, owner of military equipment manufacturer Friendly Industries, hatches a plot to destabilize Goph-Human relations by misinforming and arming an apocalyptic Goph religious cult. Militant splinter cells from the cult armed with Friendly weapons have begun attacking human outposts, hoping to spark a war with humanity. Whether they seek to fulfill or prevent a prophecy is unknown. 

The Stretch Goals in this campaign are simply getting the game implemented. All of the components are "pre-stretched" for premium quality including screen printing on the wood components.
