Mind Map (EN)

Mind Map turns a simple concept into a surprisingly intense deduction experience. Each round, players try to make others guess a secret word by placing a coordinate token inside a shared game zone built around two different criteria axes. Between personal logic, creative associations, and interpreting everyone else's thinking, every placement becomes a fascinating communication challenge. A word that feels perfectly obvious to you may seem completely random to everyone else around the table.

The real magic of Mind Map comes from the conversations and reactions generated during play. Why would "pizza" be more "fast" than "warm"? Why would "shark" feel more "elegant" than "dangerous"? Every group develops its own internal logic, leading to memorable moments full of laughter, debates, and unexpected connections. Easy to learn yet constantly engaging, this deduction game works equally well for families and larger game nights looking for a smart social experience.

You will probably enjoy Mind Map if you love games about understanding how other people think. If creative associations, quick social puzzles, and lively table discussions sound appealing, this board game can easily become a regular party night favourite. Its fast pacing and simple rules also make it ideal for larger groups.

The game quickly gained attention thanks to its minimalist but highly interactive design. Its unique dual-axis deduction system creates situations where no two groups will ever approach the game exactly the same way, giving every session its own personality.

Designed by Yohan Goh, Hope S. Hwang, and Gary Kim, with artwork by Ulric Maes, Mind Map offers a modern take on the word game genre by blending social psychology with deduction mechanics.
