## Overview

Side Effects is a fast-paced, strategic take-that card game where 2-8 players race to treat mental health disorders using drug and therapy cards while sabotaging opponents. Featuring quick 30-minute rounds, award-nominated bold artwork, and dynamic player interaction, it blends accessibility with deep strategy for millennial professionals seeking a sharp, socially engaging tabletop experience.

## Description

Side Effects drops players into a darkly humorous struggle to manage Disorders using Drug and Therapy cards while navigating constant interference from opponents. Each player begins with four Disorders face up, shaping their early strategy and creating an immediate sense of tension. To treat them, players must draw or steal the Drug cards that match their conditions, all while staying alert to opponents who may disrupt their progress or hand them new problems to solve. Episode cards add unpredictable twists, shifting momentum and forcing players to rethink their approach from turn to turn. The gameplay is fast, interactive, and filled with dramatic reversals. New players can learn the rules in minutes, yet the timing of when to reveal, treat, block, or sabotage gives experienced players room to explore deeper strategy. Side Effects excels at sparking table talk, laughter, and memorable stories as alliances form and collapse in the span of a few turns. A finalist for the SXSW Gamer’s Voice Award, Side Effects is celebrated not only for its gameplay but also for its striking visual identity.

## Features

- STRATEGIC TAKE THAT GAMEPLAY – Race to treat your Disorders using Drug and Therapy cards while protecting yourself from opponents who may steal what you need or hand you new conditions. Every turn adds a twist that keeps players engaged.
- EASY TO LEARN, CHALLENGING TO MASTER – With simple rules and short turns, Side Effects is fast to pick up but rewards clever timing, hand management, table awareness, and bold risks. A sharp mix of accessibility and depth for adults and hobby gamers.
- SXSW AWARD FINALIST RECOGNITION – Side Effects earned a finalist spot for the SXSW Gamer’s Voice Award, celebrated for its striking visual style, inventive gameplay, and ability to spark conversation at every table.
- DYNAMIC PLAYER INTERACTION – Begin with four Disorder cards and search for (or steal) the Drug cards needed to treat them. Episode cards disrupt plans, flip advantages, and create dramatic momentum swings that keep every round unpredictable.
- CRAFTED AS A WORK OF ART - Designed by Jade Shames and Ben Bronstein with support from Kat Thek and Jen Igartua, Side Effects pairs bold illustration with refined design to create a striking, memorable tabletop experience.
