2017 · Expansion for Base-game
Mysterium: Secrets & Lies
Adds six new characters, six new locations and six new items to the base game, plus 18 story cards that change how clues work. Instead of only communicating objects, the ghost uses dream cards to convey a narrative of its death; investigators interpret those abstract images to identify the correct story. The story cards can substitute for the object cards, shifting focus from single items to richer, more ambiguous clues and making interpretation more challenging.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Do we use Story cards instead of Object cards, or in addition to them?
You can choose to play with Story cards instead of Object cards. For that game, treat every mention of “Object” in the rules—including setup—as referring to “Story” (p. 1).
Do the rest of the rules change when we use this expansion?
No. Setup and gameplay are otherwise unchanged, except for the setup changes described in the rule sheet (p. 1).
Do we shuffle the new Vision cards into the old deck?
Yes. Shuffle the 42 Secrets & Lies Vision cards together with the Vision cards from the base game and/or other expansions to make one deck (p. 1).
Which Character cards are we supposed to use?
You may use either the Character cards from the base game or a set from this expansion or another expansion (p. 1).
What do the Story cards represent?
They represent events that happened just before the ghost’s death and may help explain why the ghost was killed (p. 1).
