Das Unbewusste

I picked up "Das Unbewusste" in a clearance sale since I'd only heard good things about it. I was aware that it's an expert game, but the first session was still challenging. We played it with two players and it really needs a lot of space - luckily we have a big table. The rulebook isn't that long, but I found the structure of how it's organized a bit difficult. I had to watch a YouTube playthrough to understand what was meant. We really liked the game mechanics and the design. I'm generally a fan of being able to sabotage each other in a game. With Das Unbewusste that's barely possible, or only through the table actions. So in our first session it felt like you just do your own thing and at the end we see who did it better - but somehow that's also the game goal "Become the most famous contemporary of Freud." Have you played it and how did you find it?
