About the game
Who will be the fastest to find the odd one that crept into the image? An introductory game of observation and speed for sharp eagle eyes! When all players are ready and paying attention, the active player turns over the first card in the pile and places it face up on the table. All players play at the same time and look at the card, searching for the odd one out: a small object or an animal that does not fit the theme of the scene on the card. The first player who thinks they found the odd one out places their index finger on the object and shouts its name. If the player gets it right, he wins the card and a new round begins. If the player gets it wrong, the round continues without them. To start a new round, the next player waits until everyone is ready and turns over a new card from the pile, and so on until all the cards have been turned over. The game ends when there are no more cards in the pile: the winner is whoever won the most cards!

Questions and answers
Mysterix supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Mysterix is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Mysterix for ages 4 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Mysterix has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Mysterix belongs to these categories: Card Game and Children's Game. Its main mechanics are Speed Matching.
