The Successor of Side Effects is ALIVE!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Oct 06, 2020 at 04:14:54 PM

I know I know I KNOW! I said I wasn't going to write in here anymore, but we have a big announcement and we need to get everyone's attention.

Our new game (hailed as the spiritual successor of Side Effects) is now live on Kickstarter. This is HUGE news because most of the higher-tiered items are already close to selling out and we just wanted to give you all a chance to get in on this action before it's all gone.

MUD is a set-collection, take-that card game based on nefarious election practices in America. You don't need to have any knowledge of the US or politics to play!

Collect three voters all of the same political leaning in four different regions (12 voters total) to win the game. 

There are all sorts of cool perks, including another premium wooden box (this time with a leather lid) and the option to get your face into the game -- like, everyone's game!

So don't wait another micro-second. Go now! Back MUD! Be immortalized.

Wow. Our 36th update. I honestly didn’t think there was a number greater than 32!

But, much like a möbius strip, all things must come to an end.

Thanks for sticking around all this time, listening to us blab on and on about Side Effects. I mean, enough is enough already, am I right? But maybe I’m not right. Maybe, this end is only the beginning.

If you haven’t already seen, we recently launched a redesigned website, equipped with a blog! We’ll be using this PillBlog to post news about Side Effects and future games, so if you enjoyed our updates, please subscribe to our mailing list so that you can receive notifications of new blog posts and other cool stuff.
