Unconscious Mind

Vienna in the early 1900s. You are an analyst in Freud's circle, reading your clients' dreams and treating them layer by layer.

The goal

Have the most victory points when the game ends.

1On your turn choose one of three things: state ideas, recall ideas, or treat clients.
2State ideas: place one or two idea tokens on a free space of the meeting table, pointing at a neighbouring action space, and carry out that action. Then advance your inkpot by the inkpot icons in that row; where it stops triggers a row or column of your notebook.
3Recall ideas: take all your idea tokens back, gain coffee and claim a bonus from the city map.
4Treat clients: spend the insights you have gathered to match what a client's dream card asks for, produce therapy points and push the therapy marker to the left.
5A client starts under a layer of grief that switches off their ability. Reaching the catharsis icon removes the layer and scores; reaching the far left cures the client.

The end is triggered when Freud's reputation marker reaches the watch icon: play one more round, do final scoring, and the highest total wins.

This is one of the heaviest games on the shelf. Watch the teaching video before your first play.
Your notebook is your engine. Fill it early.
A client's ability is off while grief covers it. Push to catharsis early.
