Gameplay[edit]
The game does not have an exact turn stage, players can play their card whenever they want, but the trick is to correctly play it in ascending order.

explaining it in greater detail, the game deck contains cards numbered 1-100, and during the game the players try to complete in respective order 12, 10, or 8 levels of play with 2, 3, or 4 players. In a level, each player receives a hand of cards equal to the number of the level. Collectively you must play these cards into the center of the table on a single discard pile in ascending order but each player cannot communicate in any way to the other players on what cards each of the players holds. players must try to guess and play, always play the lowest card on hand. If no one holds a card lower than what was played, great, the game continues! If someone did, all players discard face up all cards lower than what has been played, and lose one life.

Start the game with a number of lives equal to the number of players. Lose all lives, and simply lose the game. Games start with one shuriken as well, and if the player wants to use a shuriken, each player discards their lowest card face up, giving everyone information and getting the team closer to completing the level. As players complete each level, written on each level card players might receive a reward of a shuriken or an extra life. Complete all the levels, and it is a win!

Another Edition's gameplay increases the difficulty greatly, play "The Mind : Extreme mode " Edition with all played cards going onto the stack face down. players don't look at the cards played until the end of a level, losing lives at that time for cards played out of order.

Card types[edit]
There are 4 types of cards given in the "the mind":


 * Number Cards

In this deck of cards players are given a number from 1 to 100, players must then try to place them in ascending order to get them to the next level.


 * Level Cards

Players must start from level 1 of the game and through completion they are able to move on to the next level, the maximum level given is varied depending on the number of players you have. The number of cards players are given to each hand will equal to the level they are in.


 * Life Cards

These are the most important cards in the game as it represents the health bar of the team. If the number cards played are not in ascending order, then the 1 life card will be taken from the player's life card deck, the amount of life cards given to the players will be varied to the number of people playing.

Shuriken cards have the power to show 1 card that has the lowest number value from each player's hand, and put it on display for everyone.
