The Mind

Shuffle the deck of 100 cards numbered 1-100. Deal a number of cards to each player based on level (Level 1: 1 card each, Level 2: 2 cards each, up to Level 12: 12 cards each). Place the life tokens and throwing star tokens. The game is cooperative with no talking.

1. Players cannot speak, gesture, or give signals. They must play cards in ascending order (1 to 100) without knowing each other's hands.
2. On your turn, you may play a card from your hand onto the center pile if you believe it is the next lowest number.
3. If you play correctly, the round continues.
4. If you play incorrectly (play a 10 when 5 is next), the team loses one life token.
5. You can use a throwing star (one per player per game) to skip the current number (discard it and move to the next number).
6. If you have a single card left, you can play it without penalty (some variants).
7. The round ends when all players have played all their cards.
8. If you lose all lives, the game ends.

The team wins if they complete all 12 levels (from 1 card each to 12 cards each). Players lose if they run out of lives (usually 3 lives total). There is no individual scoring; it's cooperative.

The Mind Extreme is a harder version. The Mind & The Body adds physical challenges.
