Board Game Geek Rating: 6.71. Avg Player Rating: 7.04. This is the Retail Edition of The Mind Board Game. Published in 2018, it's designed for 2 to 4 players. The Mind isn't just a game; it's an exciting experiment and a unique team - building journey. You can't exchange information, yet you must work together to beat all the game levels. The deck has cards numbered 1 - 100. With 2, 3, or 4 players, you aim to complete 12, 10, or 8 levels respectively. In each level, players get a number of cards equal to the level number. You must play cards in ascending order on a single discard pile without any communication. Just look into each other's eyes and play your lowest card when you feel it's right. If no one has a lower card, the game goes on. Otherwise, all lower - value cards are discarded face - up, and you lose a life. You start with as many lives as players and one shuriken. Using the shuriken means discarding your lowest card face - up. Completing levels may earn you a shuriken or an extra life. Complete all levels to win! For a tougher challenge, try the extreme mode with face - down cards. At TheGameSteward, we're excited to offer this game. A good part of your purchase money will support new Kickstarter games.

To play The Mind, first gather 2 to 4 players. Shuffle the deck of cards numbered 1 - 100. Decide how many levels you'll play based on the number of players (12 for 2 players, 10 for 3, 8 for 4). In each level, deal each player a number of cards equal to the level number. You can't talk about the cards you have. Just look at each other and when you think it's time, play your lowest card on the single discard pile in ascending order. If someone has a lower card, you'll lose a life. You start with as many lives as there are players and one shuriken. If everyone agrees, you can use the shuriken by discarding your lowest card face - up to get more information. Completing levels may give you a shuriken or an extra life. Complete all levels to win the game. In extreme mode, play all cards face - down and check for order at the end of the level. Be careful as you'll lose lives for out - of - order cards. After each game, make sure to shuffle the cards well for the next round. Store the game in a dry place to keep the cards in good condition.
