How to Play
Players draw cards from a deck that includes “Setup” and “Punchline” cards, crafting a narrative or comic strip with the cards in their hand. The “Therapist” card is drawn by a rotating judge, who is responsible for scoring each comic based on how hilarious, inappropriate, or nonsensical it is. The more outlandish and memorable the comic, the higher the chance of winning the round.
