comment
Mysterium (Polish: Tajemnicze Domostwo) is a 2014 cooperative board game designed by Oleksandr Nevskiy & Oleg Sidorenko. It was published in English by Libellud in 2015.The game is set on Halloween night, 1920, when a group of psychics gather at the isolated Warwick Manor in Scotland to contact the ghost of a manservant who died thirty-five years ago. Over the course of a seven-hour seance, the ghost sends them visions of the people, items, and locations that may have been present at the time of his death. Only after all the psychics have deciphered their visions can the truth finally be revealed.Before the game begins, players choose one person to act as the ghost, while the rest will control the psychics. Over the course of up to seven rounds, the ghost will send the psychics dreams in the form of abstract, surreal scenes depicted on 'vision cards'. The psychics will have to interpret these visions as corresponding to the potential people, locations, and objects laid out on the board. Once each psychic has correctly identified their unique person, location, and object, the ghost will send out three cards in the form of a final vision; players must then figure out which of the psychics has had visions of the actual murder scene.Mysterium's first expansion Hidden Signs was released in June 2016, adding new cards to every category. The game's second expansion Secrets & Lies hit shelves in August of 2017, adding much of the same as the last one, as well as History Cards, giving context to the Ghost's terrible demise.

Tutorial Failure: The video game introduces the raven in one of the senances. When it's introduced, the player is required to use the raven to discard one or more cards, but the player is not as easily able to review which cards may still be relevant, nor able to cancel using the raven.

Difficulty Levels: Harder difficulty get extra cards that players need to deduce from, and also reduce the number of ravens that the ghost may use to discard and redraw replacement images.

Co-Op Multiplayer: All players win or lose together, by identifying the suspects, and then which suspect is the correct one. One player has access to the correct answers, but is limited by what may be communicated - only giving out cards with pictures.

Vagueness Is Coming
 Mysterium (Tabletop Game) / int_45ad2569
comment
Vagueness Is Coming: The Board Game. The ghost cannot simply say “it was the barber who killed me in the garden with a hammer.” Instead, the ghost only provides abstract images, like... a bunch of rabbits falling into a tunnel. A man in a plague mask on a train. A falling top hat. It’s up to the players to determine what the image or set of images is intended to communicate.

Do Well, But Not Perfect
 Mysterium (Tabletop Game) / int_5049f19d
comment
Do Well, But Not Perfect: If everyone plays the first stage of the game perfectly, the clairvoyance point system only gives enough points to reveal two out of the three cards. To reveal all three, a player needs to get one of their deductions wrong, which both replenishes the clairvoyance points in hour 4 and allows others to use the "X" clairvoyance tokens, or to skip using clairvoyence and just show all three cards.

 Mysterium (Tabletop Game) / int_6cc4e01e
comment
Schrödinger's Question: After the suspect, location and objects are identified, the ghost then picks one of them as the culprit, which may be in response to how easily the group can be expressed by the vision cards. Additionally, the video game adaptation has a two-choice ending where the main character may choose to pick a different culprit to stay alive.

Asymmetric Multiplayer: One player has the correct answers, but is limited by communication. The other players need to identify the correct answer, can freely communicate with each other (before the final straw poll), and place clairvoyence tokens towards other players have correctly deducted their clue.
