The Mind

Players work together to play numbered cards from their hands onto a single discard pile in strictly ascending order without exchanging information. Each round deals more cards to each player as the level number increases; players must judge timing and play their lowest card when they think it fits. The group starts with a limited number of lives and a shared special token that, when used, forces everyone to reveal and discard their lowest card to gain information. Failing to keep the stack ascending costs lives; completing all levels or running out of lives ends the game. An optional “extreme” mode plays cards face down and resolves order at the end of the level.
