Libellud Mysterium Board Game

Mysterium is a standout cooperative game for 2-7 players! One player as the ghost uses gorgeous, surreal vision cards to guide the "psychic investigators" in solving a mansion murder: suspect, location, weapon. Hilarious misreads, tense reveals, and immersive atmosphere keep everyone hooked. Quick to learn, endlessly replayable. Ideal for families or game nights—pure magic! We had an absolute blast this Christmas!

Really high-quality game, with fun team gameplay! We've played it a few times, and it's totally different every time. The board game has enough pieces to make it fun and special, and all of high quality (my biggest gripe about modern games is that they often seem so cheaply-made). The artwork on the 'Vision Cards' is beautiful, as is the design on the rest of the board. Gameplay is different for 2-3 players and 4-7, and can also be adjusted for how difficult you want the game to be: it does take some time to sit down and read and understand the rules, but a slow game with the rules open and it won't take you long to pick it up. Suitable for teenagers and up. Gameplay has a set end-point, so it's not totally open-ended like Monopoly. The background to the game is very atmospheric and you can amp up these aspects during gameplay if you have a good storyteller among you! BEST THING - all players are working towards the SAME goal, and everyone has to help each other out. Either everyone succeeds or everyone loses, making for a more enjoyable game. Absolutely recommend buying this board game: I bought it for my sister and then one for myself too!

Our family feedback: Indulging, immersive mystery game with artistic cards and atmospheric gameplay. When you get hard cards its actually cool, because it makes you work harder and more imaginatively to communicate the clues. I love it (10yr old). Satifying to play. When you crack the case at the end there is a huge sense of achievement. Betting element is also great. (10yr old) Its a game that as a big family of 7 we keep coming back to. (43yr old Dad) Competetive games usually end in tears in this house, but this co-op game is great for our family (12yr old) Being the ghost is super stressful and so i totally avoid that role, which is fine because the boys love being ghost. Its quite long....which is again a little taxing for my short attention span. But ultimately it is a game that plays to each person's unique strengths without penalising younger players or giving advantages to the 'brainy' members of the family, or the most vocal, etc,,,, so a real levellel. (42yr old Mama) If you are umming or erring over whether to buy it....do it! we play it alot and believe me we are super picky and critical gamers.

Personally I'm not a fan of cluedo... it's a game of rolling a dice waiting for everyone else to do the same... then maybe you get to a room and ask a question.... but then you have to roll again and wait for your turn...... On the surface this seems simular. Your trying to find a person object and place that a person was murdered. What makes this so good is that one player plays the victim and communicates through visions... which in this case is a load of random cards that whilst are beautifully drawn look like the artist has been on some intoxicants. The ghost will try and match the card they give you with the person weapon or place they want you to guess. They will then give one to your friends who are also trying to guess... a completely different card. This is all done at the same time, even better, your on the same team so your team mates can help you. The main reason this game is so good is that the ghost can't speak at all.... the frustration of watching someone pick the right card only for a friend to say "are you sure its not this one?" And then they pick something completely different is hilarious. Basically this is a fix for cluedo and as far as I'm concerned everyone should get it. It's a great family game and because it can accommodate up to 7 players it's pretty good for groups too.

We've owned this for a while and it still gets brought out regularly. The artwork on the dream cards is gorgeous and the cooperative angle means it doesn't fall to bits when you've got mixed-experience players around the table. The 'ghost' role is brilliant fun. Trying to convey concepts through abstract images leads to some genuinely funny moments. Plays best at 5 or 6 in our experience. Pricey for a board game but it's earned its keep many times over.

Bought for my brother, who's a board game geek. He enjoyed the game very much and it's a regular on games night

The Game board and pieces are quality and I especially like the box that accommodates all of the pieces in place nicely. Played this with my wife and 12 year old daughter. Tried to download the music with link /QR CODE but it didn’t work. A little disappointed that the gameplay isn’t a little more sophisticated and be prepared for long set up and head scratching sessions trying to understand the rules. Once you get your head around it - this is Cluedo - 6 weapons, 6 characters and six rooms to choose from. Rather than using elimination, you try to guess who, where and how from abstract cards. The cards are selected by the ‘ghost’ but are really so abstract that it’s quite tricky to match the card to the clue. This game plays better if you make it atmospheric, I knocked once for yes on a correct guess, turned the lights down, even get a candle or two. A Good quality, long set-up version of Cluedo with a twist. Is it worth the money or effort? Not so sure.

I love this game!! More and more, I want to play cooperative games, and this is a perfect example of why-- everyone works together every step of the way and it's a lot of fun. We do change the rules slightly, which helps overall game play: the "ghost" is allowed to use any of the vision cards, not just the recommended hand of 7. (We found that limiting the visions to what's on the 7 cards made the guessing that much more difficult. Using all of the cards does slow the game play a bit in the beginning, but the ghost will become faster at choosing vision cards as he or she learns them.) The game "moves" and doesn't feel boring or stagnant at any point. Definitely leave yourself at least an hour to play, but we've completed games in less time. I played with someone who was 10 at the time and she needed some help but still loved the game and enjoyed herself. I think it might be too difficult for anyone under 10.

Juego muy divertido para resolver un crimen que varía en cada jugada. Ideal para jugar con familia y amistades, mejora la comunicación porque te obliga a entender la forma de pensar de quien juega contigo. La calidad y el detalle de los dibujos es maravillosa.

Super jeux, de longue soirée d'amusement avec ce jeux. Et on se rend vraiment compte que personne ne pense pareil en voyant une image, chacun son interpretation ce qui rend ce jeux vraiment sympatique. En plus il est vraiment simple à comprendre, pas besoin d'assimiler des tonnes de régles.

Probably the most fun game I’ve ever played. Super high quality pieces and the game design allows for many permutations so no game is the same. This is a must have game for anyone who enjoys tabletop rpgs. 10/10

This game is so wonderful! It is very easy to learn and with the different difficulty levels once you get the hang of it it’s fun to challenge yourselves! This game has very high replay-ability due to the randomness of the cards and the ability to “match” things The cards are AMAZING, the artwork it so wonderful we all get excited when we flip new cards! You learn a lot about the people you play with and how their brain works with grouping things, it’s super interesting and an added challenge when different people play the ghost who think differently than you The expansion packs are wonderful for this game as well! Depending on how good your psychic link with the ghost is (aka guessing) this game can be played quite fast. It usually takes us between 30-60 minutes for one round. We have lost just as many times as we have won, My family LOVES this game, we play it all the time!
