About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever felt like you and your best friend are on the exact same wavelength? Medium puts that to the test in a very fun way. In the game, you take on the role of psychic mediums trying to tune into your partner's mental frequency to find a common point. The dynamic is simple but creates a wonderful kind of chaos: in pairs, each player chooses a word card from their hand and reveals it. From there, the 'connection' begins. You must think of a single word that connects the two revealed terms. The catch? No talking! You have to rely on intuition and synergy to reach the same conclusion independently.
After a moment of silent reflection, the pair does a countdown: 'three... two... one...' and, at the same instant, shout the word they chose. If the words match, congratulations! You've achieved a psychic connection. If they're different, well, it seems the frequency dropped and you'll have to try again in the next round. It's the perfect kind of game for breaking the ice, causing laughter with the absurd associations each person makes, and discovering who is truly in sync with you. With super light rules and fast-paced matches, Medium is ideal for those who want something dynamic, social, and that doesn't require hours of manual reading. It's pure chemistry between players, turning the table into a telepathy experiment where the goal is to think exactly like your partner.
