about

My debut board game song is an instructional song about the card game The Mind.

lyrics

Shuffle these cards
Each one is numbered
What’ve we got?
One through a hundred
We each get one
And then we will try
To play them in order
From low to high

It sounds so easy
It sounds so bland
But there’s one catch
You can’t say what’s in your hand

And that’s The Mind
Simple enough but hard to win
Hands on the table, let’s begin
You gotta play but don’t know when
When you’re playing The Mind

But now each round
We get one more card
And then this game
It’s getting so hard
If we play wrong
A life it will cost
When they’re all gone
That’s when we’ve lost

It’s not as easy
As it sounds
But we’ll get a reward
When we finish certain rounds

And that’s The Mind
Simple enough but hard to win
Hands on the table, let’s begin
You gotta play but don’t know when
When you’re playing The Mind

One other rule is
To use a star
We raise our hands
And discard a card
The lowest one
That each of us holds
It gives us a break
Gets us back in control

Now let’s see if it’s easy
To play The Mind
But once we’ve won
Can we play through a game blind?

And that’s The Mind
Simple enough but hard to win
Hands on the table, let’s begin
You gotta play but don’t know when
When you’re playing The Mind
Let’s start playing The Mind
