I got Brad and Devon to play Mysterium with me tonight, although Brad wouldn't let me put on the ambient soundtrack provided so that was a downer. He said something about not wanting to fall asleep?
It took a while as I'd never played it before, so had to check the bits and pieces in the rulebook. I played the ghost, Brad and Devon played 2 psychics each. It's a co-operative game, so we all win or lose together. It was pretty difficult to find "visions" that matched what I was trying to point out, and when I found the perfect card they would fixate on the wrong thing!. I gave Devon a picture of a large saw and knife but he couldn't figure out I was trying to say the murder weapon was a razor! In some ways it reminded me of Codenames, in that you were trying to get them to think about one part of the picture, but they would notice a different part that you hadn't seen and it would send them in the wrong direction. We figured it all out in the end, and the ghost got his (her?) closure. Did I like it? Yes Why? Awesome components. Exercised my lateral thinking skills. I enjoyed the weird art. Lovely collaborative feel. It felt really cool saying "I have a vision..." at random times. Did Devon like it? Yes Why? I forgot to ask him why, but he didn't want the game to end. Did Brad like it? No Why? He doesn't think it's very interesting. He says he's not a fan of Dixit either so it wasn't surprising.
