 Your Phantom recording of choice (legitimate or not)An ample supply of your favorite beverage (milk, right?)A really good sound system so you can get the full effect of ALW's masterpiece. The overture and the title song just don't sound the same when not cranked up to barely-tolerable decibel levels.Begin by inserting your Phantom recording of choice into the nearest available CD or cassette player. Dim the lights for dramatic effects (lighted candles on every available flat surface optional) and play the tape. The game begins the second you hear the auctioneer's gavel. Once the game has begun, listen for the events listed below. Every time one of them occurs, take a sip of your drink. Ready? Go!

The game you see here was added on to by myself, my sister Allison, and my dear friend Claire.
