The Mind is an incredible digital adaptation of the Spiel des Jahres-nominated card game. It’s a cooperative experience that defies traditional logic: you must play cards in ascending order without any verbal communication. The game relies on developing a collective 'rhythm' or sense of time with your teammates. On mobile, this tension is translated perfectly through the use of long-press mechanics and haptic feedback.
What makes the app version stand out is the ability to play with people across the world, which actually makes the 'psychic' element feel even more impressive. When you and three strangers across different continents successfully clear a level of 50 cards in perfect sync, it’s a genuinely magical feeling. It’s a psychological experiment disguised as a game, and it’s brilliantly executed.
Official digital adaptation
Online multiplayer with friends or strangers
Single-player mode with AI
Unique non-verbal communication mechanics
Start by observing how long others wait before playing low cards. Use this 'internal clock' to gauge when it's your turn to play your next highest card.
If the team is stuck, use a Throwing Star. This allows everyone to discard their lowest card face up, giving the team vital information without speaking.
The game consists of 12 levels in the standard mode, each increasing the number of cards held by each player.
I enjoy the physical card game so I was excited to learn there is an app for it as well. I like the gameplay, but have noticed some issues. Like others have mentioned, the registration information is mostly in German. The online layout is hard to understand and takes some getting used to. From my understanding, the developer is working on these things to enhance user experience. I look forward to seeing what this game has in store for the future.
No sure why this app had a low score before me. I and my friends have downloaded this app and it works fine. It can play with friends (online) and it really benefits killing time with friends when you can’t use the physical broad card( for example, if u are waiting in the line for a sixflag ride). A physical broad game is about 10$ in US, which is enough for 3 players. Disadvantage is obvious, u can’t play with multi- new people. If that’s the case, I would recommend to use the physical broad game.
The game requires registration in order to play online (even with friends). But the entire registration email and websites are in German and no way for me to change language to English. Also there are too many bugs and glitches with the game where it becomes very annoying to play. Such as getting kicked out of the game in the middle of the session if I get invited by other player. This is not something I expect from a simplest game that costs $3 each (me and gf had to buy separately).
I had never heard of this game until I got the app. I play solo against the AI, and it really works well. A great game to play when you have a few minutes. I’m sure it’s better with human players, but this isn’t a bad solo game at all. Especially for such a good price with no ads or IAP. I’ve had no issues with it.
The other reviews say it all. I got this physical card game just two months ago and it’s been played at least twice a week. I opened this app and immediately regretted it. Meh UI, registration for online games is in a different language, I deleted it immediately.
The app has a horrible UX, I’m not able to register and play. Broken, do not buy.
