Unconscious Mind — The Psychological Strategy Game Now at Mind Games Melbourne!
Explore the fascinating world of early 20th-century psychoanalysis with Unconscious Mind, a uniquely engaging euro-style board game available at Mind Games in Melbourne. Perfect for enthusiasts across Australia — from Sydney and Brisbane to Perth, Adelaide, and beyond — this game immerses players in the revolutionary theories of Sigmund Freud and the founding of the worldwide psychoanalytic movement.

Step into the role of a supporter of Freudian psychoanalysis, aiming to develop innovative therapeutic techniques, grow your practice, and become a leading figure among Freud’s contemporaries. As you share insights, debate theories, and publish breakthroughs, you’ll need sharp wit, sharp tactics, and—of course—plenty of coffee, just like the early supporters in Freud’s famous Wednesday Psychological Society.

Unconscious Mind is a beautifully designed Euro-style game that combines worker placement, engine building, multiple rondels, and cascading effects. On each turn, players strategically place Ideas (workers) onto a central Meeting Table to perform actions such as adding tiles to their own boards, drafting and playing cards, or navigating through the bustling streets of Vienna—a city integral to Freud’s work. Your placement also influences how far you advance your rondel’s inkpot, activating powerful tile effects on your personal board.

Manage Insight resources to interpret and treat your clients’ dreams—navigating from surface Manifest dreams to deep Latent dreams that unlock catharsis. This is represented visually by lifting transparent layers from client cards—revealing special abilities and scoring opportunities that help you rise in reputation.

As the game progresses, players work to build their influence and reputation. When the group’s standing is established, the game concludes, and the player with the highest score claims victory.

Perfect for game nights in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, or anywhere across Australia, Unconscious Mind combines captivating psychological themes with thoughtful strategy for an unforgettable gaming experience. Whether you’re a serious strategist or a psychology enthusiast, this game offers a fascinating journey into the depths of the mind—available now at Mind Games, Melbourne!
