I would like to start by saying that I really enjoyed this game, however, you need to right set if people to play with. Thematically, it is similar to clue in the each person is trying to identify their person, place, and weapon, but that is where the similarities end. Whereas in clue you have a very methodical way of determining the right set, in this game you are trying to guess you person, place, or weapon based on “visions.” These visions are cards that the ghost (kind of the game leader/clue giver) provides you with. They are highly abstract pictures that often will relate to what you are supposed to guess in a very vague way. This would be harder to play with a group of people house didnt know or younger children. Additionally, you really need to be able to think outside the box because the clues are very rarely obvious at first sight. That being said, once one person understands how to play and can be the ghost, anyone can join in, because the job of the guesser is quite simple.
This game is really fun! I have only played twice, first a 3 player game, then a 7 player one, and I was the ghost both times. It was definitely hard keeping a straight face when my friends were trying to figure out what the heck I was trying to tell them with my card choices! It did take a couple hours with the 7 of us, but 5 had never played this game (and some had never played anything other than Monopoly etc.), and the 3 player was over an hour, though part of that was reading/learning the rules. I look forward to playing as a psychic trying to interpret the ghost’s clues, and while I have read that some people have played so often (presumably with the same people) that the cards are getting stale/predictable, there is an expansion that looks good (and you can probably supplement with Dixit cards too). The artwork is awesome and the components are good quality – I especially like the board the ghost uses. Fun game, definitely recommend
The artwork and detail is just wonderful in this game. To keep track of turns in the games, rather than doing just a timer or checkbox, they actually have a tiny clock that you put together, and player tokens are tiny crystal balls. The ghost can also "dump" cards and marks the times they do so with little tokens in the shape of ravens, and each raven is different. Just wonderful detail and spooky atmosphere.The gameplay is solid. It’s like a supernatural mix of Dixit and Clue. We already have played this several times since getting it, and it’s become a real winner. Much easier to learn than, say Arkham Horror, but still very fun.We haven’t gotten to the point that it’s been a problem, but the only potential problem is replay value. We already have some in-jokes worked around the cards, which can impact future games.Still well worth the money!
We purchased this after watching the Polygon’s Let’s Play of this game. A game runs about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how fast your ghost is.Pros:-Cooperative Gameplay – no us vs them or secret undercover liars. Everyone wins or loses together.-Great for large groups, we had exactly 7 people and this was the game we played every night.-Well constructed game.Cons:-Ghost character does not get to participate in as much of the side chatter throughout the game.-Clipping together the clock was actually really difficult for us. The plastic piece is made to tightly bind the thick cardboard bits together and a lot of pressure was required to snap it into place.-Best played with a large group of people – I’d say 4 or more. Best with 6-7.
I loved this game. It’s very very beautifull, cards are awsome, and the game is easy and interisting. Even my mother and friends who have never played boardgames could easily learn and play at the first time. It’s very simple but also entertaining. The most dificult part is to be the ghost, so you better let someone who has already played be the Ghost if it’s your first time. Even who doesnt really like Dix It (wich is a similar game), likes Mysterium a lot. They say Mysterium is a Dix It with a purpose, and prefer this game for this reason…because they feel there’s a point to play it, cause you have a main goal.The only thing is that some cards (just a few) may be easily connected to the other. Like the Magician (suspect card) can be easily related to a vision card that is full of rabbits. Maybe this happened to me because I played a lot of times with same persons. I played it a lot since I bought and I felt like buying the expansion already.And…. : if you know the Dix It mechanism of playing,you have meeples and a pointing board you might even play Dix It just with Mysterium cards!
This has turned into one of our go to games for both the family and get together’s with friends. We love this game. Just make sure to watch some youtube videos because the game appears daunting at first. The setup is also quite extensive and not for board game noobs as I can see them giving up before they even start to play.The gameplay however is easy and kid friendly. My 9 y/o loves this game and somehow always inserts himself into our adult game gatherings. He’s also one of the best players because he tends not to overthink the clues…the simple mind of a child!I originally bought this for my wife who loves the classic game “Clue” because I knew she would love this game, but now I’ve hijacked it and have played it more than her. Didn’t see that one coming
It’s amazing how much this game gets you thinking. It’s just pictures! But then you get a card with a lion on a ship and try to figure out if the ghost is trying to tell you that you should pay attention to the location with the pictures of boats or the one with the lion statue… or the wardrobe?”Oh, crap! I’ve played this a dozen times and I didn’t notice that the chair has a lion head emblem on the back!”Is the ghost showing you a picture of a knight chopping down a tower with a sword because they want to tell you the murder weapon is a sharp thing? Or a metal thing? or the candelabra because the tower is shaped like a candle?We’ve been playing this game at work and it’s become our favorite team building exercise. It’s great to get children thinking laterally, too! And since everyone wins or loses together, there’s no possibility of people getting upset for losing.
Although the rules seemed lengthy and confusing, once we ran through the game once, we picked it up fairly quickly for the second round. (It might also help that we watched Wil Wheaton’s Tabletop run-through on YouTube.) It’s similar to Clue, except you don’t talk back and forth or write anything down. There’s been a murder, and one player plays as the Ghost, who is trying to give picture clues to the clairvoyant/psychic guests(the other players) to determine WHO killed you, in what ROOM, and with what OBJECT. As one of the psychics, you’re trying to guess who/where/what by (hopefully) picking up on the right details in the clue cards the Ghost gives you each round. This is a team game; the psychics all vote on which who/where/what scenario (of 3) they think is the right one, and if they all get it right, they win. If they don’t all guess the same way, they lose and the ghost remains unavenged.
Art is lovely. Card and component quality is good. Gameplay is fun, although I had 1 player in 1 of my 3 groups describe it as "a bit slow". The theme worked well. It’s important that people who have not played the Ghost before understand how sometimes the Ghost’s hands are tied and they just don’t have great cards to play for a particular player; we had a couple times where players eviscerated the Ghost for handing out confusing clues, but they didn’t understand that the Ghost was caught in a bad situation and only had 1 or no Crows left for the entire game; again, not a problem if players understand up front. Replayability is moderate, each game is more or less like the last, and even though the deck is huge you do start seeing the same cards popping up pretty regularly (the expansion helps with this), but you can adjust difficulty for added difficulty.
This is such a cool game. The game basically features a ghost and a number of psychics. The ghosts job is to send visions to the psychics, who then have to pick a person, place, and murder weapon from the clues in the vision. The best part is that this game is cooperative, so your ultra competitive friend who likes to hide monopoly money in her pockets doesn’t gloat for a week when she wins. That’s right, Sandra, I’m calling you out.A few things to know before you buy:-Learning this game can take some time. It is a lot to setup, and there are a lot of rules to be aware of. It includes instructions, obviously, but I also recommend finding a Youtube video online describing how to play. There is also a mobile app version of this game that holds your hand as you learn; it costs a few dollars but you get to play Mysterium on the go! Worth it!-This game takes up space. A lot of space. Be prepared.-Putting everything back in the box isn’t as straightforward as you would thing. Pay attention to what goes where, you’ll thank me later.
