Mysterium
Unable to talk, the amnesic ghost will communicate with the mediums through visions (illustrated cards). They will have to decipher the images to help the ghost remember how he was murdered (who? where? which weapon?). The more they cooperate and guess well, the easier it will be to the catch the right culprit.

This was discribed as Dixit meets Cluedeo to me and I bought it straight away. Me and my wife found Dixit fun but without much replayablitiy (especially within the same group) This game has been played twice with the same group and once with my parents and grandma. It is simple and easy to pick up, has a sound track (which we added a app store soundboard for the ghost to control) to help create atmospher. If you have a group that will really get into the theme then great but if not it is still a great shout. really social game as it's co-op and lots of discusion takes place but under timer conditions so it really does only take about 40mins. If you didn't like Dixit then you still might like this, Dixit felt unfinished, like half a game.

More of an experience than a game at times, especially at the end, where the final round honestly seems a bit silly and pointless - all you really wanna be doing is more of what the early rounds were, and if you lose the final round, you lose the entire game, which just feels arbitrary and boring. Hell, even winning feels boring, as it's not a good climax - you're just solving the cards correctly and then not because it's over. The clairvoyance mechanic is also just plain bad, and not contained in the original anyway, so you can tell it's meant to be played without it. I recommend doing just that. Why do I still score it well after all that? Well, it's a fun experience, and nothing provides what it does. I kinda wish there was another game where one player gives clues to everyone else and they work together to try to solve them, specifically spending the whole game trying to get into the head of one person, because it's a killer concept - but Mysterium is what we've got, and it is by all accounts pretty darn good, so eh.

What a unique and interesting game! Really enjoy this one. Have not played with clairvoyance tokens yet as I've found them to be unnecessarily complex for my groups.
