Medium! It’s a social word game of reading your friends’ minds.

In teams of two, you and a partner will have a hand of word cards (BANJO, TROPICAL, SHORT, BIGFOOT, PICNIC, etc). You’ll each play a card, then attempt to CREATE A PSYCHIC CONNECTION together to think of the word that somehow connects them. The correct answer is whatever word your partner thinks of, so you’ll have to think alike to find it!

Together, you’ll count down: “three...two...one…” then say the same word at the same time.
And when you do, it feels perfect.

It starts with cards – YOU WILL PLAY THEM.
They lead to thoughts – YOU WILL READ THEM.
Thoughts become words – YOU WILL SAY THEM.
The connection is magical - YOU WILL FEEL IT.

Really simple to play

We have a player in our group that is a bit slower to learning board games and they were able to pick this one up right away.

Our whole group had a blast.

A Simple and Fun Game

This is a great game to play as an ice breaker or entry level game. It's fun for everyone, even the most experienced gamers.

Fun filler activity

Like other reviewers said, definitely more of an activity. Fun for a few rounds

Score or no score, this is a fun activity

This is a simple idea that can be played for points, or even as a car trip activity—in fact, it’s easy to take on the road and play it anywhere. I’ve played this over Zoom with groups of 5 and 16 and the only downside as the group gets larger is that the downtime increases proportionally and there’s greater opportunity for people to check out when they’re not involved. For the larger groups, we ended up using the chat feature in Zoom and let everyone type an answer, then on count of 3, everyone hits enter at more or less the same time. Then we count up what the most common answer is, and everyone who entered that gets points. Lots of fun!

Mind Reading

Fun, simple party game to play and suitable for all players.

Arrived Quickly

Everything arrived quickly and in good order.

Kelp: fun but a bit lopsided

My partner and I have played this a couple times from both roles and while it’s fun, it definitely feels like the odds are stacked perhaps a little too heavily against the shark. Because of this, it can be tough to convince people to play as it sort of feels like you already know who is going to win by which character you get. That said, I will still continue to play it for the challenge of trying to win with the shark…it will likely just not feature very heavily in my two player game rotation.

Tous ceux avec qui j'ai joué l'ont adoré!

Pour moi j'ai acheté les boitiers rouge et violet afin de jouer avec plus de personnes et ensuite j'ai acheté le coffret Deluxe pour l'offrir en cadeau.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
