## Description
Get ready to test your connection with your friends in The Mind: Soulmates, the version for two or more players that raises the challenge of the classic The Mind! The premise is the same: cooperate without speaking a word to play cards in ascending order. But here things get more intense! Now, all cards must be played face down, and the reveal only happens after everyone has played theirs. To lend a hand, one player takes on the role of 'seer,' who has some extra insights into the numbers in everyone's hands. Each round, the seer gives subtle clues on a wipeable board to help the team organize. After everyone plays their hidden cards, the seer checks if the order is correct. If they get it right, they move up a level. If they make a mistake, they lose a life, and the seer has to give a new clue and redistribute the cards. There are twelve levels of pure mental connection to overcome. If you succeed, congratulations, you have become true soulmates! It's a fast-paced game that requires a lot of intuition and a bit of luck, perfect for those who enjoy testing the limits of non-verbal communication and having fun as a group.
