Description

You have the gift! As a MEDIUM, you can enter thoughts into the minds of others and make them name certain terms. But not everyone is born to be a MEDIUM. Maybe you are much more successful as a RECIPIENT? Whoever manages to build mental connections and read minds will win this game. But maybe it's enough to form obvious associations, without any telepathic abilities?
