About the game

What you do in a play session

Horrible Therapist: Holiday Edition is a seasonal twist on the viral hit game. Created by a cartoonist who spent years in therapy, the game turns intrusive thoughts — those disturbing images that pop up out of nowhere — into hilarious cards. Here, you and your friends will create absurd comics about therapy during the holiday season. The game works with prompts (questions or situations) and responses: everyone plays their cards simultaneously, and the judge picks the funniest (or most unhinged) answer. It's perfect for fans of dark humor who want to laugh at their own neuroses with family or friends. Get ready for uncomfortable laughs and lots of fun!
