You lead a team of highly trained ghost hunters, and your task is to clear troublesome ectoplasms out of some big old houses. Of course, yours is not the only team with this aim. Beware that your opponents will try to set traps for you. Only the most efficient and shrewd team will win the game.Panik consists of a deck of 19 manor cards (ghost manors, shared manors, and booby-trapped manors) and 36 hunter cards (nine per team, each including Basic, Tandem, Detector, Over-equipped and Call for Help hunters). Each player randomly draws four manor cards, looks at them and places them face down in front of him in the order he chooses. Then, each player turns one manor card face up and places a hunter in front of one of his manors.
