Make Way for More Mind — to the Extreme!

Make Way for More Mind — to the Extreme!
Board Game: The Mind
I am somewhat of a fan of The Mind, Wolfgang Warsch's simple card game that German publisher NSV released in early 2018, and my obsession has continued into 2019, with me having played that game twice as much as anything else so far.

That might change come October 2019 thanks to the release of The Mind Extreme, which features the same gameplay as the original design, but now with two 50-card decks instead of a single deck of cards numbered 1-100 and with players discarding cards onto two separate discard piles, one in an ascending order and the other in a descending order. What's more, sometimes you need to play on one of those piles with the cards face down so that you can't see what others have played.

Needless to say, I'm in. Find me at SPIEL '19 to give it a go with me!
