Unconscious Mind

Description

In the early 1900s, the Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud established a revolutionary theory called psychoanalysis, related to the study of the unconscious mind. As his work took hold, a number of followers were invited to meet at Freud's apartment every Wednesday afternoon to discuss various ideas about psychology and the meanings of dreams. This group was called the Wednesday Psychological Society. It marked the beginning of the worldwide psychoanalytic movement.Unconscious Mind is a euro-style game featuring worker placement, engine building, multiple rondels, and cascading effects.On your turn, you may place one or two Ideas (workers) on a central Meeting Table to access a variety of actions, such as adding tiles to your player board, drafting and playing cards, and moving around the city of Vienna. Where you place your Ideas also determines how far to advance your rondel’s inkpot, activating a row or column of tile effects on your player board.To treat your clients and interpret their dreams, you must work with a supply of Insight resources, which you’ll manage on a multi-level dial. As you work through surface-level Manifest dreams into deep-seated Latent dreams, these Insights will help your clients reach catharsis. This is represented by lifting transparent layers from the client cards—unlocking their ongoing special abilities and end-game scoring opportunities.Once the group has solidified its reputation, the end of the game is signaled, and the member with the most points wins.Contents:1 Meeting Board1 Map Board4 Insight Dials4 Clientele Dials4 Player Boards7 Goal Tiles9 Treatise Dials60 Technique Tiles6 City Recall Overlay Tiles5 Professor Meeples1 First Player Token4 Inkpot Markers4 Coffee Markers5 Reputation Markers8 Treatment Markers52 Insight Tokens4 Scoring Markers24 Idea Tokens16 Bright Idea Tokens1 Fireworks Standee1 Grief Layer Dispenser Box24 Grief Layer Cards2 Rulebooks (Core & Solo)12 General Client Cards12 Advanced Client Cards24 Manifest Dream Cards24 Latent Dream Cards4 Letter Cards24 Map Tokens36 Research Cards4 Reference Booklets6 Solo Row Cards6 Solo Column Cards9 Solo Technique Tiles
