If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would!
My husband and I are both psych professionals and we absolutely love this game. The card art work is beautiful, the gameplay is so much fun, the cards themselves are durable, and the base game box has enough room for the expansion pack!

#1 Game on the List
My partner is a huge board game lover who likes games that are challenging and strategic. We played this game with 2 different groups and everyone's had a good time. It's a really fast paced game which we like since he's got so many games. We actually enjoyed it so much that we ended up purchasing the booster shot at Barns & Nobles before New Years so that we could have more fun during the holidays! The cards themselves are beautiful and a pretty good size. I'm really happy with the purchase as I bought him this game for Christmas after doing a lot of research!

So much fun!!!
My husband and I bought this game after seeing a video advertisement for it. We absolutely love it. A lot of thought obviously went into the game and cards. We both struggle with mental health and the game is so accurate it's pretty funny. It's well worth the money for a fun game, and we plan on buying any and all expansions that go to this game.

Fun for all groups
This game is so fun, and funny for groups, it is also surprisingly accurate in regards to the medications used to treat the diagnosis. The game does make it easy to joke of sensitive subjects so please keep that in mind when playing. Mental health is important and this game touches on many disorders and may be triggering for some people. As always know your friend and if any of them are sensitive to any of the included themes find a different game to play. Otherwise, take this for a spin and give your friends, anxiety, gambling addictions and so many more issues.

I love this game so much, and I'm not a card game guy!
I first played this game at a friend's house and boy did we turn on each other quick. One second we were all friends sipping our wine and chatting about life and the next, we were ganging up on each other. Who would have thought that trying to destroy your friends' mental health would be so much fun!Seriously though, the game mechanics are so easy to learn and straight forward and even helped me to formulate my own card game. I doubt I'll follow through on that since I always have new projects popping up but it's nice to know I can play a card game that's this rewarding without the commitment of MTG and without breaking the bank.I'd say the game is suitable for more mature players given the theme. I have middle-aged friends who have been through a lot in life and don't love it while others find it to be therapeutic.Definitely a good quick party game for 4-8 people but be warned - eventually, there will always be that one person that doesn't want to stop playing and the one that will secretly want to quite after not winning a few rounds but stay silent and hold it against the rest of the group. I am somehow both of these people on some nights.

Great quality cards and dark humor is top tier
Value for money is great. The quality of the cards gives the exact reason of value and great quality. Such a fun dark humorous game to play with your friends that don't take things too seriously.
