Mysterium (board game)

Mysterium is a cooperative board game designed by Oleksandr Nevskiy and Oleg Sidorenko. It blends aspects of murder mystery games and card-based guessing games. One person plays as the ghost of a murdered individual who can communicate with the other players through a series of visions during a 7-hour seance in the form of illustrated cards. The other players, who take the role of psychic mediums participating in the seance, must interpret the art on the cards they individually receive to identify a suspect, location, and murder weapon of a committed crime. Following its release in 2015, Mysterium received positive reviews and has become a staple in its genre. It has since received two expansions Mysterium: Hidden Signs in 2016 and Mysterium: Secrets and Lies in 2017, which introduces a new card type to identify: the story card.
