In Mindstein, each player takes a turn as the reader, reading a card with five multiple choice questions. Where Mindstein differs from a run-of-the-mill trivia game is that each multiple choice question has three answers corresponding to three different letters; the correct answers for each question spell a five letter word that players compete to be the first to yell out. If you get the five letter word first, you get to draw a letter from the draw pile; first to spell "S-M-A-R-T" wins!
