Unconscious Mind is a Euro-game-style game featuring worker placement, engine building, and rondel elements.
Players take on the role of Freud's followers in the early 1900s, striving to develop "psychoanalysis" and become famous.
During the game, you place idea tokens to chain various actions together.
The more skillfully you create your notes, the more efficient your chains will be, giving you an advantage in the game.
Patient examination and treatment are also important.
As you deepen your insight, you will be able to examine patients using "manifest dreams" and "hidden dreams" in the subconscious, allowing you to treat more patients.
Treating more patients will also help those you have already treated.
In addition to examining patients, don't forget to occasionally publish research and papers.
When the fame of Freud's followers is established, how far will you make your name known?
The illustrations are by Andrew Bosley (Everdale) and Vincent Dutrait (Searching for El Dorado).
The artwork, including the striking ink pot and intricately crafted spinning tops, is a joy to look at.
