This eerie team board game is perfect for playing with family this Thanksgiving

The Mysterium box on a wooden surface, seen from above.

When the living are left clueless over a 1920s murder case, who better to call than a band of mediums to contact the amnesiac ghost of the victim, whose only method of communication is surrealist dreamscapes? Mysterium is a game of drawing meaning from the abstract, but with a high-stakes murder mystery at its heart, tight time constraints, and the vaguest clues imaginable, it's nothing short of a chaos-fuelled mystery romp to rival the best board games out there.

Mysterium takes cues from classic games like Dixit or Clue, and massages them into a highly thematic, cooperative challenge for up to seven players, making it worthy of even the most crowded board game night. It's a game of getting into each other's heads to decipher the indecipherable before the link to the other side withers, and the ghost is left to wander limbo for eternity.
