Treatment: A Psychiatry Card Game (2016)

About this game

Treatment is a game for 2-5 players about psychiatric treatment. The goal of the game is to win four cases. Each case represents a psychiatric disease such as depression or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. A case is played through a number of rounds where the players can either choose to manage their hands or secretly treat the case by playing treatments from different categories. But watch out if a symptom that matches the category of the case is drawn the rounds end and treatment starts. In order to win you need to take care of the cases you already have in treatment as well as providing the best treatment for the presented case.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
