Trying to play Mysterium but the instructions for two players are a bit vague? In this article we will take you step by step through how to play Mysterium with 2 players. It is worth noting that if you love Dixit then Mysterium is a great alternative for 2 players.
With two players Mysterium is still collaborative. The aim is to work together as ghost and clairvoyants to work out who murdered the ghost. Thus releasing the ghost from their anguish and allowing them to rest in peace.
Yes, you read it right, there are two clairvoyants in the two player rules. Both played by the non-ghost.
In this how-to we will assume that the ghost cannot speak. This is not required and if you choose the ghost can speak but must not give any clues other than the vision cards.
