Mind Twist (2007)

About this game

Mind Twist is a 2-player game that has players racing to be the first to get to the top of a 3-D Board. On your turn, secretly select a number between 1 and 3. If your opponent doesn't challenge you, you reveal your secret number and move your piece closer to victory and then it's your opponent's turn. If your opponent challenges you, he or she tries to guess your secret number. If they get it right, you lose your turn and they now pick a number. If they get it wrong, you reveal your secret number and move that many spaces and take another turn.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
