In Sigmund Freud's Vienna, your clients' dreams become increasingly restless. Whereas in Unconscious Mind you analyzed ordinary dreams, in Unconscious Mind - Nightmares you deal with anxiety, grief, and nightmares that lie much deeper.

Unconscious Mind - Nightmares is an expansion for Unconscious Mind featuring the same game mechanics as the base game, but with new gameplay elements that make the game more challenging. For instance, you not only have to deal with patients' dreams but also with their nightmares. These patients appear as Uncanny Clients in your practice and bring Grief and Madness with them.
These nightmares affect your strategy, play style, and the collection of Insights. This is all tracked on the so-called Nightmare Dial. The higher this dial is positioned, the more influence the nightmares have on your personal game board. As a result, certain effects can no longer be used, and you must adjust your strategy. Fortunately, pets can help you mitigate these negative effects and provide extra benefits. The game restarts as soon as a certain reputation is reached.

The expansion adds a darker and more tactical layer to the base game. Can you fathom even your clients' deepest nightmares and become Freud's greatest pupil?

What does this expansion add?

• New Nightmare Dreams that are harder and more challenging to solve
• Uncanny Clients with extra Grief and Madness, making treating clients more challenging
• A personal Nightmare Dial that influences your game board and strategy
• Pet meeples that alleviate the negative effects of nightmares and provide additional benefits
• Extra client cards, treatment cards, and markers for more variety and replayability

Why you want to play Unconscious Mind - Nightmares

• Ideal for players who have played the base game frequently and are looking for more depth.
• More strategy and tactics through nightmares, the Nightmare Dial, and Uncanny Clients
• More variety and replayability through new clients, pets, and playing cards
