Side Effects

Welcome to a card game with a hefty dose of dark humour. In Side Effects everyone has their own ailments, and you need to cure them with the right medicines and therapies. But watch out: every medicine has side effects. And while you are busy getting better, your opponents are not sitting still. They are happy to give you new conditions to slow you down. This game is all about bluffing, negotiating and tripping each other up. Whoever masters their ailments first wins. That means paying close attention to what the others do, striking at the right moment and sometimes pretending you are weaker than you really are. The mood shifts from sly to chaotic and back again, exactly what makes an evening with friends so much fun. The 89 cards are tarot sized and beautifully illustrated. Together with the deep red box with gold accents, this game feels like something special on the table right away. Suitable for 2 to 8 players and done in about half an hour, ideal for a fun game night with an edge.
