Get ready for a journey of self-discovery with Mind Space! In this game, serenity is the goal, and you'll seek it by filling your 'Brain Board' with a mosaic of emotions. Each emotion has its unique polyomino shape, and each round, five of them will be available for you to work with. The twist is that rolled dice dictate the colors you can use to fit these shapes onto your brain. It's a strategic puzzle where you need to plan your moves ahead, thinking about how to optimize space and meet objectives.
There are 12 rounds to prove you've mastered the art of organizing emotions. Points are earned by completing brain sections, achieving public goals, and adhering to the organizational criteria for each color. But beware! The section of your brain that remains most unfilled at the end will cost you dearly, with points deducted for each empty square. Mind Space is a quick game, ideal for those who enjoy challenges requiring strategic thinking and a touch of luck. Perfect for playing solo or with up to four friends, all within about 30 minutes. A light game, yet with enough depth to keep you thinking.
