Ardhashir

Speciality: Talisman

Nationality: Ottoman

A talent for divination has been passed

down through the generations in Ardhashir‘s

family. The powerful Amajlije talisman,

which has been in the family‘s possession for

centuries, focuses and amplifies their psychic

powers. Although the family has traditionally

served the Sultan, Ardhashir chose a different

path, setting off to explore the wider world.

After spending years travelling and perfecting

his craft, he returned to his home country to practice divination

with the aid of his talisman. He has since earned a considerable

reputation among leaders from all around the world. The air of

mystery surrounding Sir Conrad MacDowell‘s manor was a big

factor in his decision to travel to Scotland.

Jessalyn Smith

Speciality: Tarot reading

Nationality: A merican

Jessalyn was married at a very young age to a

wealthy and frequently absent factory owner,

and is profoundly bored… At home in Rochester,

New York, she would regularly read the tarot

cards with friends. When one of her friends lost

her young daughter to pneumonia, she decided

to organise a tarot seance to make contact

with the child‘s spirit. It was then that she

discovered that she was a powerful psychic, and many Rochester

citizens have since sought her help. News of her gift spread,

and before long, people were coming to her from across the

nation to contact dead loved ones. She quite naturally accepted

Sir Conrad MacDowell‘s request for assistance, particularly as

she had always dreamed of visiting Scotland.

Aim of the Game

Mysterium is a cooperative mystery solving game, in which everyone wins or loses

together. All players share the same goal of uncovering the truth behind the death of

the ghost that haunts the manor, thereby putting his soul to rest!

Player Roles

Mysterium is an asymmetric card game in which players take on one of two different

roles but share a common purpose. Players play differently according to their role:

The ghost distributes cards to guide the psychics, helping them to make the

right choices that will allow the investigation to make progress.

The psychics receive cards from the ghost and use their intuition to try to

correctly interpret his messages.

Before beginning the game, the players decide which role to play: the ghost or

a psychic.

Example: Laura, Stephanie, Paul, Carl and Alex are beginning a ﬁve-player

game. Laura decides to play the role of the ghost. The remaining four players

play as psychics. Stephanie chooses Alphonse de Belcour (blue),

Paul picks

Ardhashir (white), Carl selects Madam Wang (red) and Alex opts for Alma

Salvador (yellow).

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE SÉANCE…

The game is set in the 1920s. In your role as psychics you have been invited to a night-

time séance on Samhain (Halloween), when the visible and invisible worlds meet. This is

the day of the year when the living are most easily able to contact the "other side". You

will have only seven hours before the spiritual connection with the ghost is lost.

Upon making contact, you quickly realize that the ghost is unable to communicate

his killer’s identity directly. Clearly still in severe shock, the ghost has only vague

memories of his death. With his help, your task is to reconstruct the events of the

fateful evening: who was present at the scene? Where might the crime have taken

place? What objects may have been used as weapons? To save precious time, each

psychic will follow a different line of inquiry, with the aim of

identifying and reconstructing the activities of one of the

suspects.

Exhausted by his years wandering the astral plane, the

ghost has become too weak to speak.

Instead, he will communicate with the psychics individually, sending them visions in

the form of "ﬂashes", which the psychics will then share and interpret to the best of

their ability with their partners. Guided by their intuition, they will then indicate their

preferred hypothesis to the ghost, beginning by identifying the suspects. In return,

the ghost will inform each psychic whether or not their intuitions were

accurate, enabling the most perceptive among them to move forward

with their investigation. When the suspect has been unmasked, the

psychic’s next task is to determine where the crime took place and

what object may have served as the murder weapon.

If all the psychics successfully complete their tasks within the

allotted seven hours, the ghost will be able to recall the culprit’s

identity. Summoning his remaining strength, he will send the

whole group one ﬁnal vision identifying the culprit. The more

clear-sighted the psychics have been during the séance, the more

unequivocal this ﬁnal vision will be…

Finally, the psychics hold a straw poll to formally identify

the culprit, winning the game if the majority pick the right

suspect. This frees the ghost’s soul to rest in eternal peace.

If you fail, the ghost’s spirit will continue to roam the

netherworld and you will have to wait another year

before reattempting to solve the mystery of the

manor…

Now you know how the séance will unfold,

you are ready to play!

Tips for a strong spirit bond:

For your ﬁrst game, we recommend playing at the

EASY

difﬁculty level

(see page 8), with a player already familiar with the game in the role of

the ghost.

The ghost may choose to play the game without uttering a single word.

For example, he might conﬁrm the psychics’ intuitions by knocking on

the table: one knock for «yes», two knocks for «no».
