NSV The Mind

When you conquer the final level together, you will be floating on cloud nine. You are not allowed to discuss or exchange any information. And yet, it works if you truly become one. Only with the help of your thoughts. The Mind is a cooperative card game with an almost banal concept. Players must play number cards together over several levels, in ascending order. The twist: No words can be spoken about your own hand cards. The game is not played in a fixed turn order, but rather according to the players' sense of timing. Is it time? Should I play my 43 now? Or does someone still have a lower card? Playing a card too early costs the team a life point. However, if all hand cards are played, the team advances to the next level and repeats the task with a higher number of cards. Communication is only through synchronized timing: an astonishingly fresh game concept that works surprisingly well with a bit of practice. How can this succeed? A question everyone asks before their first game of The Mind. Then comes the surprise: it works. Without agreements or gestures, the team manages to complete the shared task. Astonishing. Fascinating. Brilliant. Wolfgang Warsch synchronizes the gaming world. Emotional moments enrich the increasing merging of mind and matter. An amazing experience that every player should have at least once.
