Voices in my Head

About this board game

Voices In My Head is a courtroom game for 3–6 players that takes about 120 minutes, placing everyone inside the mind of a man on trial for robbing a bank.

One player becomes the prosecutor, whose goal is to convict the defendant, Guy, and send him to prison. The other players each embody an aspect of Guy’s personality, such as Honesty or Selfishness, and try to influence the trial while pursuing their own hidden goals.

Each round, the prosecutor plays a trial card to introduce evidence, call witnesses, or question Guy on the stand. The other players then attempt to control Guy’s actions by deploying control markers across a three-dimensional game board representing his brain.

Those actions affect how the trial develops and sway the jury in different ways. As the courtroom proceedings continue, the players’ competing influences help determine whether Guy goes free or is sent to prison.

• One player leads the prosecution.
• Other players represent different aspects of Guy’s personality.
• Trial cards present evidence, witnesses, and questioning.
• Control markers are deployed on a three-dimensional brain board.
• Every player works toward a hidden goal.

With its combination of courtroom proceedings, personality-driven influence, and a physical representation of Guy’s mind, Voices In My Head turns a bank-robbery trial into a contest of competing motives. Players must shape Guy’s actions and the jury’s response while trying to achieve their own objectives before the final outcome is decided.

Released in 2022, Voices In My Head is designed for groups of 3–6 players and has an approximate play time of 120 minutes.
