Mind MGMT: The Psychic Espionage Game

Really enjoyed playing Mind MGMT. I love hide and seek genre. Used to like Mr.Jack but now this is my new favorite of this type. Mind MGMT offers a unique twist by pitting the clock against the investigators instead of the hidden player. The need to deduce both the recruiter’s path and the features they use adds depth to the game, making it a tense and intriguing experience. It’s a must-own for hidden movement games fan, promising hours of replayability and exploration.

Very interesting, cool and quirky game. Rewards multiple plays with the same group with a balancing mechanism with additional rules and components. Definitely a must try if your group digs hidden movement games.

Great hidden movement game. Played the introductory mode several times back to back switching places with the wife and it was great. Canu2019t wait to try the full mode with the special powers and the immortals. If, like me, you donu2019t have a hidden movement game in your collection and are looking to add one you canu2019t go wrong with Mind MGMT.

Mind MGMT is a quick playing and clever hidden movement game. The hidden recruiter plots and schemes how to visit the necessary locations on the board before the rogue agents can figure out the recruiters location and goals. It’s a snappy game that gives the hunters enough options to gain information (by using precious actions) and put pressure on the recruiter to make it a tense match of wits. The real beauty of the game is in the shift system, 14 bonus boxes (7for each side) that contain extra characters/abilities and rules (along with a mini comic) to help balance the game. When one side loses they get to open up a new SHIFT box to give them an extra boost for the next game.

Sweet baby Jane, someone has finally made an approachable hidden movement game with a palatable solo mode. The theme of a Secret Psychic Espionage organization is perfect for this game mechanism. Components are top notch and art work (created by the graphic novel serialist Matt Kindt)is reminiscent of the spy movies/games from the late 60's, very appropriate. The rule book was well laid out and easy to follow. I particularly liked the ability of the game to ease players into the mechanism with the training mode. As games have a relatively short playing time, I'd advise new players to this genre to play several games in the training mode to get the general feel for the mental gymnastics it takes to play hidden movement games. The solo mode requires an app and only plays in training mode (let's hope that get expanded to include the full game) but is a great way to learn. Games run the gambit of ...so close losses to... last hour victories. The SHIFT system to balance game play is genius with helps to players who lose to increase their odds at a next win with out the baggage of other legacy games that destroy or permanently remove items for the game. I'd highly recommend purchase of this game,...now how do I shake this feeling that I was manipulated into writing this review?

My first hidden movement game; I'm more of a wargamer, but the art is terrific and the clever SHIFT system keeps me working hard.
