Game Components & Setup

This is an expansion for the Mysterium base game. No other expansion is required to play this expansion. Beside setup, all rules used in the base game still apply. This expansion does not introduce any additional rules.

Components

42 Vision Cards. The 42 Secrets & Lies vision cards are shuffled together with the 84 vision cards from the base game and/or with the 42 Hidden Signs cards, to form a new deck.

Character Cards. 6 psychic cards and 6 ghost cards. Card backs numbered SL1 to SL6.

Location Cards. 6 psychic cards and 6 ghost cards. Card backs numbered SL7 to SL12.

Object Cards. 6 psychic cards and 6 ghost cards. Card backs numbered SL13 to SL18.

Story Cards. 18 psychic cards and 18 ghost cards. Card backs numbered SL19 to SL36. Each story card represents a potential motive that could have led to the man-servant's demise.

Setup

1. Add the character/location/object psychic cards from the Secrets & Lies expansion to the character/location/object psychic cards from the base game (and/or Hidden Signs) and shuffle them.
2. Add the character/location/object ghost cards from the Secrets & Lies expansion to the character/location/object ghost cards from the base game (and/or Hidden Signs).
3. Story cards are an alternative to object cards. During setup, choose to play with object cards or story cards:
   • If you play with object cards, return the story cards to the box. They will not be used during the game. Draw the number of character/location/object cards as indicated in the base game rules (see Game Difficulty & Card Setup, page 8).
   • If you play with story cards, return the object cards to the box. They will not be used during the game. Draw the number of character/location/story cards as indicated in the base game rules (see Game Difficulty & Card Setup, page 8).

Play the game according to the entire base game rules.
