Description

Get ready for a wild ride with Side Effects, a "take that" card game that's all about treating the crazy stuff going on in your psyche. You'll start with a handful of disease cards, each with its own unique punishment, and try to find the right meds to make them go away. But beware - those meds come with side effects that can leave you open to even more problems, courtesy of your friends. As you take turns drawing cards and trying to treat your diseases, you can also play episode cards to mess with your opponents or help yourself out. It's a fast-paced, hilarious game that's perfect for 2 to 8 players and can be learned in no time. With gameplay lasting around 10 to 30 minutes, it's a great addition to any game night. Just be prepared for some wild episodes and unexpected side effects.
