Side Effects is a card game that blends sharp humor, psychology, and a dash of science in a fun way. Each player starts with four visible disease cards in their own ‘psyche’ and also holds four hidden cards that are the medicines they’ll try to play. The core mechanic, Take That, adds a competitive edge: while you’re curing your ailments, you can play episode cards that trigger punishments or help sabotage opponents. The goal is simple: cure all your diseases before anyone else does. It supports 2 to 8 players, lasts 10 to 30 minutes, and is perfect for quick, adult‑themed fun. Components are compact: medicine deck, disease deck, and episode cards. The artwork has a dark‑humor vibe that fits the addiction and psychology theme. Side Effects works great at parties but also as a casual home‑game. If you enjoy light strategy, humor, and a touch of social critique, this title will surprise you.
