I wish this was based on Carl Jung concepts rather than Freud. Although he's a playable character I think the creativity of his concepts are much more interesting than Freud's. Can't wait to get my hands on it though!
One bit of feedback: for such a thematically rich and integrated game, your rules overview was *incredibly* mechanical. Eg. "You're going to increase this attribute here and also your own attribute" was one of many lines that didn't sell the game on theme in the slightest. In fairness you did speak to theme in the overview though so all's well, and overall I think this video has tipped me into backing :)
maybe it's just me, but all the mini games remind me of the style of Endless Winter. Does anyone see a fresh idea in this? something we haven't seen before in another game? or just the nice design catches the eye?
The theme is so cool and Fantasia's production of Endless Winter is fantastic so I can trust them with this. Just need to see a gameplay to see if it's my style
@BoardGameCo as we hit the last days of the PM, can you make a judgment of where UM stands in relation to Endless Winter, Carnegie, Food Chain Magnate, Hegemony, Dune Imperium, etc.? Curious about whether it deserves a place on my shelf. I try to keep games that bring something unique to the table.
Just watched the Floe review and had to go back to this as I've backed unconscious mind to the hilt. I think I will pass on Floe. Makes me smile as I work in social services about your difficulty with patient and clients, just at service users and person is and welcome to my world.
You mentioned the excellent look of the game (couldn't agree more) and that the thematic tie-in works. Just wanted to ask a follow-on question: Would you go so far as to call Unconscious Mind a "richly thematic" euro? (I ask because that is a major consideration for playing a board game with my wife.) Thank you.
On the fence about this one. Endless Winter was a bit of a miss for me and my group. It seemed a little too complex for what it does (we enjoy Lacerda games, so it isn’t just that we are light gamers). But listening to the game overview here and elsewhere, this game seems like it might end up about the same. Just a jumbled mess of lots of different things all thrown together. Does it work? Looks like it does. Is the juice worth the squeeze of the Rube Goldberg machine of a juicer? Not so sure… and for $100+…I don’t know.
It looks great I must admit, I would love to play it, theme is original and feels very thematic. But I have a feeling that it's going too much here, for my head :D and it would be too difficult for me to play. This game for me looks more complicated and there is more happening here than in Endless Winter. So I don't know , I need to look more into it . Alex could you tell which game has more rules and is more difficult in understanding and teach Endless Winter or Unconscious Mind?
@@BoardGameCo Thanks for response:). Now it's seems more clarified for me 👍. I will keep an eye on campaign ;). And can't wait for actual gameplay on your channel if possible ;)
As a HCP, idk how fixated they would be to address a person as 'client' vs. 'patients'. That's a much more modern change in language than it probably was in Freud's time. It feels anachronistic. Nowadays you're spose to call even medically hospitalized people as clients to remove the stigma of the word patient. Back then? I doubt they were as concerned. As for the board game itself I am definitely getting $1 in to allow myself the chance to back the Id-Lite. That pledge is a very pro consumer move and I like that. Bravo Fantasia.
This looks like a beautiful game, but the whole process of gaining ideas (clear flat marbles) by placing talk bubble workers seems a bit abstract. I like the fact that coffee is a resource. That is cool. And the dream cards are awesome, as well as the clear ailment overlays too. Thanks Alex!
Would you do a play through of this prototype? I’m interested in how the game is played and very much enjoy your laid back style of videos. Thank you for reading my comment, have a great day.

Instant back for me. Endless winter has created a lifelong fan for anything Fantasia creates.
I'd love to see a three or four player count with you and Quackalope like you did with encyclopedia. Your logic style and his chaos

"Through dreams, Freud's followers delve into their patients’ unconscious minds."
Your 5 out of 5 reviews are always instant backs for me. Looking forward to this game!

My wife is a psychologist. There is no way I can NOT back this.
I'm a psychologist and I kinda feel the same.
I need to not back this but wow does it tick a lot of boxes for things I like. The theme just seems really cool too.
Give in! Back it! 😃
Saw this at Essen and it looks amazing, it even made Libby's game of the month for October. Enjoyed watching your thoughts, as always
The theme is so cool and Fantasia's production of Endless Winter is fantastic so I can trust them with this. Just need to see a gameplay to see if it's my style
Radho have gameplay.
Hope we will see you treat a few pati-ehhh... CLIENTS soon! ;)
Thanks for sharing. 5 out of 5. I don't hear you say that often, so I'm gonna check out the KS. I do like the unique theme.
Thanks for the coverage. Your insights helped us to decide to back this game. Excited!
Glad I could help :)
Wow. How long did it take to learn those rules well enough to deliver that? Thanks for the vid.
Lol thank you, once i lock a few plays in I can almost always teach.
When’s the Kickstarter up?
Nov. 8th
@@TomerK thank you

Is this a reupload? I could have sworn I saw it already a few days ago, am I going deja vu crazy or something o_O ?

Now I can't quit that word from my head too haha game seems fun though

Alex could you tell which game has more rules and is more difficult in understanding and teach Endless Winter or Unconscious Mind?
Unconscious mind is easier and more intuitive once you learn it but more work at first.

Apparently Viennese psychoanalysts are not the only ones powered by coffee.
lol yep
Is this a deja vu or am I imagining things 🤣
The first one had to be taken down at one point :)
I was thinking the same thing lol
Wow so far back for this disclaimer 😛.
Ty for the video!
I hope it want hit retail before kickstarter fullfilment....
Their last game didnt

This is a “NEEeeeEeeD!”

Darwin’s Journey comes to mind for comparison.
That is a fair one
Play this not that:
Unconscious mind vs. Encyclopedia 🤔
I would totally do that when they both come out
6:17 “Clients”, not “Patients” :-
Definitely not for me. Feels very messy and clunky.
If you talk a bit faster, i dont need to watch this.
Noted, I can prob do a bit faster :)
