Unconscious Mind

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, supporters met at Freud's apartment every Wednesday to discuss psychology and dream symbolism. This group—the Wednesday Psychological Society—marked the beginning of the worldwide psychoanalytic movement. As a member of this society, you aim to formulate new therapeutic techniques, establish a practice, grow your clientele, and become Freud’s most distinguished contemporary. To best accomplish this, you’ll need to share insights, discuss ideas with peers, and publish theories. And to stay invigorated, you’ll likely need some coffee—lots of coffee.

What is Unconscious Mind

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, supporters met at Freud's apartment every Wednesday to discuss psychology and dream symbolism. This group—the Wednesday Psychological Society—marked the beginning of the worldwide psychoanalytic movement. As a member of this society, you aim to formulate new therapeutic techniques, establish a practice, grow your clientele, and become Freud’s most distinguished contemporary. To best accomplish this, you’ll need to share insights, discuss ideas with peers, and publish theories. And to stay invigorated, you’ll likely need some coffee—lots of coffee.

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.

Unconscious Mind es un euro de colocación de trabajadores, creación de motores y cumplimiento de "contratos". Es un juego denso y abrumador de primeras pero amable con el jugador una vez comprende los fundamentos del juego y entra en la dinámica. En nuestro turno iremos realizando acciones y mejorando nuestro tablero personal, lo que nos permitirá en turnos y rondas sucesivas mejorar nuestras acciones y, sobre todo, encadenar unas acciones con otras. Los combos se pueden llegar a alargar bastante, este es uno de los motivos fundamentales que refuerzan el sentir general de que este Unconcius M

El juego más bonito visualmente al que he jugado pero por muchísimo, lastima que la temática y la jugabilidad no tengan nada que ver, joer me da muchísima rabia, estaba deseando que me encantase esté juego

El juego es un euro de manual, y divertido de jugar. La tematización me chirría un poco. Pero lo que menos me gusta es que la caja sea ligeramente mayor a una caja estándar de 30 cm (algo innecesario) y que ocupe tanta mesa: para jugar a cuatro se necesita un campo de fútbol.

Positivo: - Producción espectacular - Variabilidad - Satisfactorio de jugar, no hay sensación de ir apretado a nivel de recursos y aunque no puedas hacer siempre todo te permite disfrutar sin agobiarte. Negativo: - Come demasiada mesa - Si el grupo va lento puede alargarse demasiado, puede dar AP. - El mapa de viena podría haberse implementado de mejor manera aunque una vez lo sabes usar permite conseguir recursos y sacarle bastante provecho, aunque veo necesario incluir el periodista ya que si te mueven constantemente a freud puede ser un fastidio. - Nula interacción, unas mayorías en viena
