Card game "Paranoya", 62 cards

Are those who play this game real? Or are they just a hallucination?

In this game, one of you will become a new patient of a psychiatric hospital. How did it happen? Hallucinations that interfere, frighten and confuse are to blame. You can leave the hospital only by realizing that it is real around and what is fiction. Do not worry, other patients will be in the ward. However, it is not clear which of them is real, and who is only a hallucination. This must be found out at all costs!

How to play?

To begin with, divide the cards into decks: “Role”, “Therapy”, “Going to the doctor”, “Diagnosis” and the map of the final vote. Each of the participants, the excessive receives a map of the role - the patient or hallucinations, as well as the diagnosis card. Also in the game will be the player "Novice", who has to find out who is who. This participant receives 8 cards “Going to the doctor” and “therapy”. The number of “therapy” cards depends on the number of players.

There are 2 types of goals in the game depending on the roles of players: a beginner and real patients win if the permitted number of errors or less were made. Hallucinations win if more errors were made than allowed.

The number of errors allowed depends on the final number of hallucinations in the game. The number of errors also affects how many therapy cards were played by a “novice” beyond an affordable amount. Each played map of therapy in excessive amount reduces the number of permissible errors by one. However, the main task of the beginner is to determine who the real patient is here, and who is hallucination.

stage 1 - acquaintance

At the beginning of the game, all participants take turns appearing to each other and a beginner. You can come up with a legend that you will play throughout the game. You can also openly say who you are a patient or hallucination. It is not necessary to tell the truth. In this case, it is necessary to take into account your "Diagnosis" card. This will help you get to know each other closer, and to the beginner to draw the first conclusions.

Stage 2 - phase of active discussion

A beginner can play any map of therapy in any order at any time (see the point “Description of therapy maps”). Each card can be played only once, after that it goes into reset. In this game, everything is possible except for the spying of cards of other players. An exception - when one of the therapy is used.

Stage 3 - final vote

The final vote can occur in two cases:

Next, the beginner should give each player one of the final voting card, putting up the side, which role, in his opinion, has this player.

Stage 4 - exposure

When all the players received on such a map, they take turns, starting from the player to the left of the newcomer, they open their cards. And here it becomes clear who is actually a real patient, and who is a hallucination, and the number of errors that a beginner made is determined.

If a beginner makes more errors than indicated in the table, then hallucinations win. If a beginner makes as many errors as indicated in the table, or less, then the beginner and real patients win.
