Mind Space is a roll-&-write that tasks you with fitting polyominos in the most complex map of all: the human brain.
Five pursuit (polyomino) cards are available each round. You roll five dice to assign colors to those shapes. Then, you have to decide which shape to draw on your brain board.
Along the way, you can earn points by fitting different aspects of your life together.
After 12 rounds, the game's over! Receive points by completing sections of the brain, achieving public goal cards, and meeting the criteria of each color.
Consider Trying To Get Money Early
Being able to spend money can get you a coveted extra shape or black square. This can make a huge difference!
Focus On Getting a Goal Before Your Opponents
Getting one of the goals first is a big advantage. If you can’t get one first, you might consider pivoting; take shapes that better fill out your board instead!
Life is unpredictable. Roll the beautiful colored dice to assign them to different polyomino cards.
Choose one of the polyomino activities to enrich your brain board.
The goals are public–you gain more points for achieving them first!
A great mind often has great balance. The different colors have different scoring rules!
The Mind Palace:
Make your copy of Mind Space even brainier. Replace your dice with 19mm (that is metric for big) that look like BRAINS.
The upgrade also comes with a second set of dry-erase markers, so you'll have to do a little less passing them around.
