Mind MGMT: The Psychic Espionage “Game.” review

Mind MGMT: The Psychic Espionage "Game" is a really unique and fun experience. It blends elements of classic deduction games like Clue and Battleship with a social deduction twist, creating a tense and engaging gameplay experience.

The premise is intriguing. One player takes on the role of Mind MGMT, a shadowy organization with psychic powers, attempting to recruit new members. The other players are rogue agents trying to stop them. It's a classic cat-and-mouse game, with the Recruiter (Mind MGMT) moving secretly around the city and the rogue agents using their psychic abilities (and some good old-fashioned deduction) to try to track them down.

The game itself is pretty easy to learn, with clear rules and a simple setup. The dry-erase "mental notes" add a nice touch of tactical play, allowing players to track information and make strategic decisions. The game can be played solo or with multiple players, which is great for different group sizes.

My one complaint is that the digital app only works on smartphones, which can be a bit frustrating since the game is quite complex. I would love to see a version for laptops or tablets to make it easier to play.

Overall, I really enjoyed this game. It's clever, engaging, and a lot of fun. If you're a fan of deduction games or just enjoy a good brain-bending challenge, I highly recommend giving Mind MGMT a try.
