Introducing a new card type for the game Side Effects — "Fun Drugs". These new "Fun Drug" cards go on your Psyche just like other drugs, but they don't treat anything. Instead, they live to the side of your Disorders and aid you with special advantages throughout the game. But watch out! All Fun Drugs contain side effects.

The Legal Vice Card Pack comes with 3 of the world's most popular Fun Drugs: Coffee, Tobacco, and Alcohol.

How to Play with Legal Vice

Shuffle in your new "Fun Drug" cards into the base Side Effects game (you can also play with the Side Effects: Booster Shot cards in the base game as well).

Use one of the Fun Drugs as you would any other Drug card, by placing it on your Psyche — just keep it to the side of the rest of your Disorders (Fun Drugs do not treat anything). As soon as a Fun Drug is in your Psyche, you can immediately start taking advantage of its abilities (all of which are written on the card). Continue to use the abilities (and drawbacks) of the Fun Drugs you're taking for the rest of the game. You can have multiple Fun Drugs in your Psyche, but you can only have 1 Fun Drug type per Psyche (e.g. no 2 Coffees, etc).

If you wish to, however, stop taking one of these Fun Drugs, you may do so on your turn — but this must be the entirety of your turn. You cannot do anything else (even draw cards) if you're discarding one of your Fun Drugs. Any new Disorders you acquired while taking these Fun Drugs remain after they're discarded.

Disorder

Amount in pack:3

COFFEE allows you to play 1 extra card per turn. Ordinarily, you're only allowed 2 actions per turn — this gives you 1 additional.

Amount in pack:3

ALCOHOL blocks an Episode. If someone tries to give you an Episode while this is in your Psyche, you simply discard this card — you are no longer protected from Episodes after this has been discarded.

Amount in pack:3

TOBACCO allows you to draw 1 extra card every turn; however, you must also discard 2 cards every turn. This discarding comes after you've played whatever cards you might play on your turn. (If you have fewer than 2 cards left, discard what you have, if anything).
