About the Game

A party game about clever psychological deduction, and acting absurd. For each round one player is the Doctor, and all others are the Patients.

Each round, Patients draw two cards and choose one to act out, discarding the other.

Each Patient makes a short statement about their card (preferably in character) without saying any of the text written in red on the card.

The Doctor may ask each Patient two follow up questions, which they must answer (again preferably in character).

The Doctor then tries to diagnose the Patients. If they are correct, the Patient scores points equal to the number shown on the card by placing it face up in front of them. If they are wrong, the Doctor loses 1 point which is shown by placing the card face down in front of the Doctor.

After all players have been the Doctor once, the player with the highest score wins.
