mysterium board game review
Okay, so I finally got my hands on Mysterium, that board game everyone’s been talking about. I’d heard it’s kinda like Clue but with a spooky twist, and let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint!
Getting Started
First off, I gathered my friends, a group of five. We set up the game, and it’s got this whole mysterious vibe with the artwork and all. I mean, it really makes you feel like you’re stepping into a haunted mansion. One of us had to be the ghost, and since I’m always up for a challenge, I volunteered. My job was to lead the other players, who were psychics, to figure out who killed me, where, and with what weapon, all through these dream-like image cards. Sounds cool, right?
Playing the Game
So, as the ghost, I was dealt these vision cards, which are basically the clues I had to give to the psychics. The catch? I couldn’t talk or gesture. It was all about picking the right cards to hint at the correct suspect, location, and murder weapon assigned to each player. Some of these cards are just wild, like, how do you even connect this abstract image to a candlestick in the library? But that’s the fun part!
My friends, the psychics, they were all trying to decipher my clues. They’d move their tokens around the board, discuss what they thought the cards meant. It was hilarious and intense at the same time. We had moments of “Aha!” and moments of “Wait, what?” It’s like trying to make sense of someone else’s weird dream.
Final Thoughts
After a few rounds of this, we finally got to the end. We had narrowed down the suspects, locations, and weapons, and it was time for the final reveal. Now, as the ghost, I had one last set of cards to show everyone, which would point to the real killer, place, and weapon. Drum roll, please…
- We got it right!
It was such a blast! Mysterium is definitely a game I’d recommend if you’re into a bit of mystery, a bit of teamwork, and a whole lot of fun. It’s not just about winning; it’s about the experience, the laughs, and the sometimes bizarre interpretations of the cards. I am happy to tell you guys Mysterium isn’t just a board game, it is more like a bridge to connect people’s minds. We had a fantastic night, and I can’t wait to play it again. Maybe next time, I’ll be a psychic and see if I can crack the ghost’s clues!
