(May Cause) Side Effects (2019)

About this game

You're participating in a clinical trial study for a new drug. All you have to do is take a pill and answer some questions, but you're experiencing some side effects! Players in (May Cause) Side Effects compete in teams. One player is the test subject, acting out side effects while getting their partner, the lab assistant, to guess a word or phrase. If they guess right, keep the card, and stay in the drug study! Whichever team has communicated the best at the end of the game wins! —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 12.
• 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 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
