Mind Games

[Brel]

The Mensa Mind Games® competition provides an opportunity for game manufacturers to compete in one of the most respected and recognizable national games competitions, while having their games reviewed by some of the nation's most avid game-players — members of American Mensa.

Mind Games® is an intense weekend of play. Mensans judge and critique games released in the past year and award the coveted Mensa Select® seal to the top five. Past winners include ScattergoriesTM, Trivial PursuitTM and TabooTM.

Mind Games® begins on Friday afternoon and ends Sunday morning. Participants, called “Judges,” tend to play around the clock, breaking only for food, drink and sleep. Hospitality is open 24 hours, but it is intended for quick refreshment between games.
