29 Great Games Like The Mind

Our experts have spent time searching for great games similar to The Mind and have found the following:

The Mind is a cooperative sequence card game with a telepathic twist. Each card has a single number on it. Your task is to play them in order, the lowest first. However, you are not allowed to communicate physically or verbally to coordinate who plays next. What starts as a seemingly impossible task soon turns into an intuitive challenge to judge how long to wait to play, based on the number on your card.

Unfortunately, The Mind is not available on Android, Mac, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S or iOS. However, we recommend the following games that offer a similar experience or theme:
