Board Game Side Effects

Side Effects is an exciting "take that" style card game where players race to cure all their mental illnesses through medication and therapy. Each player starts with four open illness cards (their "soul") and four hidden cards in their hand. Throughout the game, players draw cards from the deck, searching for the right medication to cure their illnesses. However, each medication can cause new side effects, leaving the player vulnerable to new illnesses that opponents can inflict.

Each illness card has unique effects, which are activated through episode cards. Players can use these cards to hinder their opponents or strengthen their own position. The game ends when a player successfully cures all the illnesses in their soul. Side Effects is designed for 2 to 8 players, aged 13 and up, with a playtime of 10 to 30 minutes. Rules are in English.
