Bad Medicine
Players represent pharmaceutical companies developing drugs to cure the current malady. They combine cards showing parts of drug names, descriptions, and side effects, then present their creations in improvised sales pitches while explaining away the chosen side effects. In smaller games, players select cards for their own drug and receive additional cards from opponents during the pitch. Larger games use teams, with one player assembling the drug and another presenting it without seeing the cards in advance. Players vote for their favorite drug after each round, scoring points for votes and selected side effects.
