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!
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
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 :)
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.
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?
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.
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.
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 ;)
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.
@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.
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.
