Gameplay Walkthrough

1. Setup: Players pair up and each duo is given a set of cards.
2. Card Play: Each round, players from each team draw two cards, each reading one word aloud.
3. Psychic Connection: Both players then silently think of a word that connects the two words said aloud. On the count of three, both players say their connecting word simultaneously.
4. Scoring: If the words match, they score points based on how many tries it took to match:
   • First try: 3 points
   • Second try: 2 points (if the first try doesn’t match, players go again with the new words spoken)
   • Third try: 1 point (if the second try still doesn’t match, players try one last time)
   • No match after three tries? Move on to the next round with no points.
5. Winning: The game continues until all cards are played. The team with the highest score wins!

Here’s a glimpse into a typical turn:

Each round, two players become partners. One player draws a card and reads the word aloud, and then the second player does the same with a different card.

After both words are revealed, the pair counts down from three and simultaneously says a word that they think connects the two words on the cards. The goal is to say the same word at the same time. The pair has up to three attempts to find a medium—the connecting word.

If the pair successfully says the same word on any of the three attempts, they score points based on how many tries it took. If they sync on the first try, they score more points than if it takes three attempts. After their turn, play passes to the next pair in the circle. The game continues, often filled with laughter and surprise as connections unfold in unexpected ways.

Medium is a refreshing addition to any game night, blending simplicity with deeply engaging gameplay. Its charm lies in the hilarious moments that unfold as friends try to sync up their thoughts, leading to unexpected matches and delightful failures. The game is brilliantly simple yet requires quick thinking, making it not only a test of how well you know your companions but also a great way to foster new connections.

Playing with just one other friend transforms Medium into an intimate and funny duel of minds, where you quickly find out how in-tune you really are with each other. The more you play, the better you get at predicting each other’s thought processes, which makes for an increasingly competitive and enjoyable experience.
