Side Effects
Race to treat all diseases in the psyche with medication and therapy while disrupting the other players. Each player starts with four face-up disease cards and a concealed hand, then draws cards and searches for drugs that treat their conditions. Drug cards can also expose players to new diseases listed as side effects. Disease cards carry unique punishments, which episode cards trigger when played against another player or used to help yourself. The game ends when one player treats all four diseases.

La Osha7.0 Fun, cheeky and quick. A great card game about mental illness that will spark a conversation and brings out the worst in people (but in the best way) It has such beautiful illustrations Wich also makes it a joy to the eye We love it for a get together over wine (or beer) just to get a laugh ... We will probably end up playing cards against humanity after... It is that kind of game But at the end of the day, you have to choose well who you play it with
