In early twentieth-century Vienna, a group of psychologists met every Wednesday in Sigmund Freud's apartment. This group was called the Wednesday Psychological Society. In
Unconscious Mind, you are part of this group and try to become the city's most prominent psychoanalyst.
Unconscious Mind is a strategic board game in which worker placement, engine building, multiple rondels, and effects come together to help patients and delve into their subconscious. During each turn, you place one or two Ideas (workers) on the central meeting table to perform actions. For instance, you add tiles to your personal notebook, draft and play cards, and travel through Vienna to unlock new possibilities. The location where you place your Ideas also determines how far your inkwell moves on your own rondel, activating entire rows or columns of effects on your player board.
All these actions and effects yield so-called Insights, which allow you to fathom patients' dreams. You start with superficial dreams and search for the deeper layer and meaning behind them. If you succeed, you unlock lasting effects, extra points, and powerful chain reactions.
Thanks to the combination of tactical choices, plenty of variety, and beautiful illustrations, every game night remains different. Can you become Freud's most famous contemporary with clever theories, strong combinations, and a large cup of coffee?
