Imagine yourself, an eccentric psychopath, being diagnosed with schizophrenia and having the opportunity to submit to toxic lifetime maintenance medication every day for the rest of your life. Or how about sending someone you just met into an insane asylum because you as a licensed alienist have legitimate authority to clinically diagnose and scientifically influence judgment. These and many other fascinating scenarios, including 'the care of Lunticks' await everyone who endeavors to journey into the hideous realm of Mental Disorder.

This game is designed for 2-8 players. Unlike most card games or board games, this game does not end when a victory condition is met. Instead it ends when a losing condition occurs. This peculiar, weird, and unique end-game design adequately reflects the twisted state of more than one psychopath on which it is based. A losing condition exists when a player acquires 100 Insanity Points or more.

The Files for the game are available for download on the website. Mentaldisorder.com also offers the game pre-printed and uncut for $10.00. The game is also available in Italian from www.pulce.tk
