Side Effects

Side Effects

It's not just illness you have to worry about—it's what happens when you try to treat it. Side Effects is a bold, fast-playing strategic card game with a striking vintage medical aesthetic, where players race to treat all the disorders in their psyche using medication, therapy, and more. But every treatment comes with side effects, and your opponents are working just as hard to complicate your recovery. A SXSW Gamer's Voice Award nominee, Side Effects combines sharp "take-that" mechanics with genuinely clever design, wrapped in artwork that makes it as conversation-worthy as it is fun to play. Quick to learn and chaotic in the best way. For 2–8 players, ages 14+, 10–30 minutes.
