NSV Break Your Brain With The Mind Extreme!

August 28, 2019 by brennon

The Mind is a simple game concept with a lot of thinking behind it. All you have to do is play the cards in your hand in ascending order with your friends. Sounds easy right? Well, you can't talk...so you have to do all of the tactical thinking using the power of friendship (or just regular intuition).

This sounds like it would be easy but it turns into a fiendishly difficult puzzle which my friends and I have only won maybe three times out of dozens of tries. The Mind Extreme then takes this to the next level as NSV introduce a quirk to the game which means that as well as a pile which has to go in ascending order, there's also one which has to go in descending order!

In addition to that, there's also a rule that some rounds of the game must be played blind. This means cards are discarded face down rather than face up so you won't know if you've failed until the very last card has hit the deck...ruthless!

If you can get your hands on the original The Mind I would recommend it. It's great for a laugh with friends and a nice filler for down the pub.

Will you be attempting this extreme version?
