They try to reconstruct the events of that fateful evening by correctly interpreting these messages. Cooperation is required to unmask the culprit, but beware: time is running out! The team is given just seven hours to contact the ghost and solve this ongoing mystery. The Games Friends: “ Mysterium is a fantastic game, because it has beautiful artwork, nice playing materials and a very nice theme. The rules are simple and everyone can participate.
