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!

o objetivo do jogo de cartas é simples, você só precisa tratar todas as suas doenças mentais. o problema é que os outros jogadores também estão tentando tratar suas doenças e farão de tudo para impedir que você seja o primeiro. a jogabilidade é muito parecida com Uno, você joga cartas e também faz truques com outras pessoas. a qualidade das imagens nos cartões é incrível, e os cartões são todos grossos e de boa qualidade. o jogo é muito fácil de aprender e dura entre 10 e 15 minutos.

Side Effects è un gioco semplice e divertente da giocare con i propri amici. le regole si imparano in 5 minuti ed è assolutamente geniale. il tema un po' dark delle malattie mentali lo rende un gioco intrigante che propongo sempre a tutti i miei amici come alternativa ai soliti giochi di carte. (nelle foto ho censurato solo un codice sconto che ti danno per l'acquisto di un gioco della pillbox) Dato che il gioco è disponibile solo in america non mi aspettavo arrivasse veramente, sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso quando ho aperto il pacco e mi sono ritrovato la scatola perfetta e intonsa!
