The video has an error in the rules. On page 7 of the rules it states. "As soon a Psychic receives their Vision Cards, they can look at them and show them to the other Psychics." There is also a note that states. "Note: Psychics may start to discuss and even place their pawns and tokens as soon as they receive their cards, even if the hourglass has not yet been turned over."
@@BoredGamesAlex you must have a old rule book, I was referring to the board game rule. I didn't even know there was a online version. My game was new as of January, 2021.
I have played this game as a psychic three times, and never really understood what the ghost could and couldn’t do. I just bought it and was thinking about teaching my family, but I knew I needed to really dig into the rules to be able to teach it. Thank you for this awesome video! I understand so much better now
This video is greatly appreciated. My friends and I were hitting some challenges in setup and understanding game play based on the printed instructions. Your video helped us get through a couple rounds this evening, and we had a great time. Thanks again!
We just played this game tonight and had no clue! Thankfully we came across your video and it was so much help, we even did the reveal from the same sleeve to add to the suspense! Thank you!!!
Thanks bro, this helped a lot! Really! I’ve watched it a bunch of times, and now thanks to this I think we’re ready to play in a set up for 4 to 6 players in hard mode. Thanks again!
It's a bummer you haven't made a video in a few years. Your recap of both Mysterium and Coup were perfect! I'd love to see more if you ever get the itch to do it again.
Really liked your explanation on Catan so watched this one and subscribed. Have seen Mysterium explained elsewhere and yours was a very concise delivery. Might be worth explaining about the vision cards a bit more and how the ghost will be attempting to use them. Liked the style and appreciate you don't go in for great play-acting - really puts me off. So thanks for the concise run-through - well done and keep it up.
very good explanation - i was going to play this game, but the first phase was kinda complicated for me to understand on the fly: your vid cleared the things up now for the end phase: as far as i know the ghost, after picking three of the vision cards it wants to show, has to shuffle them before putting them on the table for everyone (so even the ghost doesn't know which card will reveal first)
Totally agree with Shuttlefield. I had watched three other videos on Mysterium, some shorter and others much longer than yours, so I may have had some extra background knowledge when I watched your video. But my friends hadn't seen any, and we watched your video together. Five minutes after watching we were playing and having a great time. We all agreed your tutorial was clear and concise. Totally agree with Shuttlefield again.....the play-acting in other videos is annoying and superfluous to us. That being said, it's key to see how a "turn" looks when it's played, which you presented. More explanation on strategies for using the Vision Cards would be helpful, but we did get just enough of an idea from your explanation. And we all agreed that you really have to play the game a few times with the same group of people to see how those cards can be used effectively. As the Ghost, you listen to the rest of the players thinking out loud using your clues, and that gives the Ghost ideas on how to better lead the other players in subsequent rounds. We all wanted to watch you explain more games we're interested in, but we already play Settlers. Looking forward to more from you and your channel. How about Power Grid??
Thanks for the kind words. It's hard for me to find time to make these but comments like this drive me to continue :) The next one I have lined up is for COUP but I'll for sure throw Power Grid on the list.
I made up a variation with the vision cards: you can also give them turned around (upside down) to indicate this vision is a negation. For instance if you have an inside murder location, you could give the negation of a card with a setting outside. If you combine these with the standard/affirmative/positive card, you could have some more interesting options too.
I think I understood Mysterium better when you explained it rather than the other ppl explaining it. Can you explain "Betrayal at House on the Hill" in the same way ?
Very helpful video thanks. Could I just check what happens to incorrect clairvoyancy tokens. If you guess wrongly do they get discarded until the start of phase 4 and is there no impact on clairvoyancy tracker? Thanks
According to the rules on top of page 9. "All used Clairvoyancy Tokens are discarded to the Clock Board on the matching colored spots." This is regardless of they where correct or not.
Im not 100% sure what you're asking but my guess is that it was uncelar how the "real" solution was determined? The ghost essentially gets to pick whichever number/player solution combo that they think they can clue to the best. The ghost would look at their vision cards and see "oh wow I have two really good vision cards for the gun and the workshop in #2." So they choose it. If they thought they had better vision cards to clue to #3 then they choose that etc. etc. TLDR; the ghost just gets to choose whichever they think they can clue to best.
One thing is not clear to me. When everyone figures out their stuff and ou are at the endgame. Does the ghost has to reload to 7 cards again and chose 3 from that? Can you still use a crow if the ghost is stuck to help with the last one?
You reload the same way you do in the normal part of the game. You would NOT trash the hand from the normal game and draw entirely new cards for the endgame. Yes you can still use crows during the endgame phase.

Thanks! There may be a revised rulebook, but your correction is how the online version plays and therefore likely the intended way to play.

Dude, this and your Catan video were really well done. Please do yourself and the board game community a favor and MAKE MORE VIDEOS!
No
Thank you for making this simple! I learned more in your 12-minute tutorial than a much longer and drawn-out video I watched earlier.

This is such a good tutorial video. You explained the rules and gameplay really well. It's a pity there are only three videos.
Great explanation of setup, play, and tips, Alex. I feel ready to lead my family through our first game! :)
This is The BEST toturial for the game I've ever find in TH-cam thanks dude 👍
This is the best tutorial I have found for the game. Just made everyone watch it instead of explaining everything.
Thanks bro, this helped a lot! Really! I’ve watched it a bunch of times, and now thanks to this I think we’re ready to play in a set up for 4 to 6 players in hard mode. Thanks again!
Excellent video on game instructions - much better than others I have seen. Thank you so much!

AMAZING video. This explained it so perfectly, so excited to try this out
This is a fantastic video! I hope you make more keep it up
Great video. Clear and concise instructions with good visual examples
That was very well and simply explained. Along with the instructions included this made the game easy to understand. Thanks!!!
this is a really good explanation vid, especially from the ghost’s point of bird! very helpful
To hell with all the other explanations. This is the first one that covered it all with brevity. Well done
This was a great intro to the game for my family and we played Christmas evening - fun!

Thanks a lot! The videos are coming very slowly lol but there will be more to come!
Awesome video! You made this game much more clear!
Nicely done! For more straight to the point tutorial videos such as this one!
Alex. Great instructional video!thank you!!
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
Oh my God. Please make more videos. You are exactly what we needed to play this game correctly. Great explanation.
You are a God my friend. Well done.
Thank you, it was the one video where I start understanding 😃
OOOOOOOOOOOH !! I understood!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! The rulebook is all over the place!
great video, it really helped out
Fantastic easy to follow video.
Thank you so much, this is so helpful!
Great video! Thanks

According to the rules on top of page 9. "All used Clairvoyancy Tokens are discarded to the Clock Board on the matching colored spots." This is regardless of they where correct or not.
I'm just wondering about the "real" last true combination. In this video, it was #2, how is that set-up?

What’s the music?
6:20 they should’ve included a couple of ghost tokens to indicate if the choices are correct or not.
Without this… we’d be totally lost.
