Really fun game lots of playability. Gets pretty dark

Side Effects initially caught my eye because of its cool art style. Its skeleton-mental health theme gives it a morbid (and often funny) aesthetic and the box art is gorgeous! The long, skinny "tarot" sized cards are lovely to hold and sturdy, with beautiful artwork on both sides and vertically mirrored effect text that makes it easy to read cards sitting across the table. This small format detail is incredibly important to gameplay. Mechanically speaking, Side Effects is a fabulous, fast-paced little card game with a kind of rock-paper-scissors dynamic! Because you need to sort out conditions to deal out each player's "psyche" and then reshuffle them into the deck, you are going to have to shuffle these cards A LOT, and I could see that wearing them out in the long term. Side Effects gives each player a psyche full of illnesses that they must treat. But treating them with medication leaves you vulnerable to other conditions, and while you're attempting to treat yourself you also need to prevent other players from outpacing you or penalizing you. There is a fair amount of strategy to be had here, but it is light enough to be quite beginner-friendly. The game dynamic causes quite a bit of laughter and playful "punishing" moments. For more seasoned board gamers, this game is a wonderful palate-cleanser between games or for the end of a gaming session!

carte eccellenti, mi sono piaciutr molto

Jogo muito divertido. Da pra ficar horas e horas jogando e o tema cai muito bem com o humor do grupo de amigos!

Can't wait to buy the expansion!

Such a fun game to play with friends! I don’t really like learning new games but this one was easy enough to catch on to. Even my friends who hate new games (hard to convince to play something they don’t already know) learned and loved it. We’ve never just played it once, it always gets played over and over again with lots of laughs.
