Fast favorite!
This became a family favorite the very first game, the illustrations are beautiful, plays fast and easy. We did receive two Deus Hex Machina cards, which were a Kickstarter special and were not included in the box instructions. We were able to find their description online and they add an excellent element to the game!

Awesome game
This game is a lot of fun and easy to learn! My copy had two dues hex machina cards in it that were exclusive to Kickstarter. Had to look up how to use them since they weren't in the directions. During my search of the rules for the card, Pillbox games released a statement that the cards rule was in the instructions but not included in the game lol. I just found that funny lol. The card quality is great! Will definitely be looking to get their other game.

Can’t wait to play it again!
First, love it when a game has a nice presentation and non-generic artwork that is memorable. The premise of it is hilarious and mischievous with messy medieval alchemy and the ability of give your opponent/s interesting afflictions. We considered the original version of the game, Side Effects, but it seemed a bit too realistic in terms of diseases and conditions, at least Hex Effects keeps it lighthearted in comparison. Reading instructions and setup was pretty quick, first game to learn the mechanics took about 30min for two of us, subsequent games took longer since we were trying to figure out each other’s strategy - was that round going to be focused on self-healing, or focused on triggering side effects? It worked great for the two of us, but I’m curious to see how it unfolds when there’s more players. This is definitely a game I look forward to playing for years to come! :-)

Good game, but needs some improvement
We really enjoy this game, but feel the card numbers are imbalanced and can cause a never ending game. The time of 10-30 minutes has been rarely true for us. This game continued for 2+ hours once. I think the card ratios of diseases to remedies need adjusted.

One of my favs
SUPER FUN! I have a sick sense of humor, and I loved side effects the other game from this company. This one is equally fun, and funny with a macabre twist.

Diseño
Diseño increíble, contracara de las cartas pareciera fueran diseñadas a partir de un mazo de tarot (pero no es) Buena calidad y diseño ambiguo
