Horrible Therapist is a party game of ethical debate and dark humor where one player takes on the role of the titular therapist who reads a patient’s scenario that is always centered on a bizarre moral dilemma or an absurdly messed-up situation, like whether they should use a time machine to stop an embarrassing moment or what to do about their pet goat that thinks it’s a cat. The other players, acting as rival therapists, must then use the limited and often conflicting tools and techniques they have on their cards—such as “use a rubber chicken,” “yell at them,” or “prescribe a small dose of anarchy”—to solve the patient’s problem, ultimately leading to the Horrible Therapist judging the best (or worst) course of action and awarding points for the most hilariously misguided diagnosis
