Drug use, personal demons, wild episodes, and more. Side Effects is a "take that" card game where you race to treat all the diseases in your psyche with drugs and therapy.

You'll start with 4 Disorder cards dealt face up and then take turns trying to find (or steal) the right Drug cards to treat your Disorders. But beware! Drug cards will also leave you open to receiving new Disorders from other players!

In addition to being wickedly fun to play, Side Effects is a gorgeous piece of art within itself — the gilded box contains 89 beautiful cards and an instruction booklet.

Alexander ★★★★★

The "take that" mechanic really shines when someone drops a new disorder on you right before you were about to win. I love how the therapy cards add a strategic layer to the chaos.

Zoe ★★★★☆

I've played this a few times now and the "take that" mechanic keeps things lively, especially when someone draws a wild episode. Only knock is the rulebook could be clearer about how the therapy cards interact with the drugs.
