Pandasaurus Games The Mind - Family-Friendly Board Games - Game Night - Card Games for Adults, Teens & Kids (2-4 Players)

Summary: unique filler game, good value for the price, easy to learn, decent replay value with different groups, can be made into a party game This is one of the most uniquely fun yet simple games I've ever played! Let me just start by saying that I already played this game around 20 times with different groups in a few days after I first bought it. The premise is simple and in the description, but we perhaps spent more time discussing what was NOT allowed then what was allowed. Basically, the less communication of any sort your group uses, the more magical the result will be. This game is VERY easy to pick up, but each game with a new group is unique, as part of the fun is watching how a group begins to "meld" their minds and succeed. It is best played with 4 players in my opinion, for a good balance of challenge and fun. (It's fun to see how different people think and adapt.) After a few plays, you will get a feel of how to iron out some rules. Some important ones I now decide beforehand are what limits to put on nonverbal communication, and how to use the shurikens. (We usually decide that after using one, play resumes from the last card put in the middle and NOT any of the revealed cards. Also we didn't allow any signaling to the revealed cards. They were simply out of the game but visible to all.) There is a "blind" mode that adds extra fun and makes it that much more satisfying when you succeed. Cards are played face down, and you only see how well you did after all cards are played. We did actually try modified rules to add more people, even up to ~15 players once! It was still fun in different ways. From looking at the table and playtesting though, the total cards should not exceed 40 (mid 30's max is better), otherwise it will be too easy. Overall, this is a purchase I do not regret one bit. It has already brought many hours of fun with many different people, as all sorts of people can get into this game. The current price of just below $9 is lower than what I got it for, and an instant buy in my opinion to those who like any sort of group games.

This is one of those games that sounds simple until you actually play it. We had an excellent time with it, and it led to plenty of laughs—and a few playful arguments when someone played a little too conservatively! It's a fantastic game for groups and has become a favorite for our game nights. No real complaints about the gameplay itself. The cards can get worn over time with frequent use, so it's worth handling them carefully or using card sleeves. It's literally MIND READING GAME, not much strategy but you sould pay REAL ATTENTION and try and be fast. Always communicate with the eyes, its hilarious.

Although the instructions say to play up to 4 players, we've often played with many more (8or more). It's a fun, easy game to learn and nice for multi-lingual groups because after the initial instructions, language is not needed.

The box came damaged, but the cards are fine. We played this over Christmas and it’s a really fun and challenging game. Much harder than you’d expect for such a simple concept.

We bring it to the bar/breweries for something simple to do while we grab drinks. It's fun and can be quick. It's easy to throw in a purse and it takes up minimal table space. There "technically" isn't supposed to be any talking about the game while playing so you can play without having to worry about a loud environment or having to put 100% focus on the game. It is challenging to make it all the way through but it's not complicated and it's easy to learn. You all work together for the common goal. Each group of people you play with will feel different as you learn each other's strategy.

Love this game

Super fun game for a variety of ages. Easy to pick up on and I love that it’s fast paced.

The game itself is a "hit" with our family! It took about 15 minutes to learn how to play (and the first three rounds were face-up cards as a learning aid). It was a lot of fun to play. It felt like each player was staring into the eyes of the other players trying to read minds so that they would know when to play their next card. After the first full game we all felt like we "knew" each of the other players better and the gameplay went somewhat faster, BUT...there were also more mistakes that were made. Each mistake cost one "life"...spend the three lives before the last round is finished and the game is lost. This caused each of the players to "root" for each other, which is exactly what a "cooperative" game like this one is meant to do! BUT...that's where my accolades end. The gameplay is wonderful, but the physical quality of the cards couldn't be poorer. The cards are very thin and made of cardstock that is about the thickness of a normal 3x5 index card. There is no coating on the cards. They crease very easily. During the initial shuffling of the cards there were at least 5 cards that had bent corners and had other creases in them. Wherever there was a crease or bent corner the "bend" or "crease" is white in color. The cards are all black, so when a crease occurs the white crease line stands out greatly. This is the reason that I could not give this game a solid 5-star rating all around.

Excelente juego, es adictivo y más dificil de lo que parece

Fast delivery and the game was full thanks ❤️

誰かと競うのではなく、全員で協力してクリアを目指すスタイルはとても楽しい。 100枚のカードを1ターンごとに混ぜなければいけないので、手の大きい人か、器用な人がいると助かる。 数回繰り返すと、クリアレベルが上がっていくことを実感できる。 100までの数字を確実に数えられる年齢であれば参加できる。 UNOと同等のケースなので持ち運びもラク。

A pretty intriguing and minimalist game. Not sure if I will ever reach level 12!

Bought as part of a gift and the new owner was addicted in no time
