Psychobabble

Psychobabble is a social deduction game of strange dreams, suspicious behaviour and trying to work out who can be trusted.

One player takes the role of the Psychotherapist, while everyone else becomes a patient discussing a shared dream. Most of the patients know which dream they are talking about, but one has been given a different image – and crucially, they do not know that they are the odd one out.

The patients must give enough information to identify the dream without making things too obvious, while also trying to work out who is unknowingly talking about something completely different. Meanwhile, the Psychotherapist listens carefully and tries to piece together what everyone has seen.

With surreal artwork and plenty of room for bluffing, suspicion and accidental self-incrimination, Psychobabble is a lively party game where even you might not know whether you are the problem.
