What a joy to receive details of a new game called Psychobabble today! The design is stunning with a ‘monochrome meets Lovecraftian style’ certainly catches the eye and I have to say, had me intrigued as soon as the games creator, Kedric Winks from Ghastly Games, emailed me to tell me all about his new game, published by Cheatwell Games.
Psychobabble, an intense social deduction game, asks one player to take the role of the Psychotherapist who guides the other players in a group discussion of their shared dreams. Most will know what happened in last night’s vision, but one will be genuinely insane and unfortunately, does not know it!
It’s up to the Psychotherapist to make sense of the statements and interpret the dreams while the inmates must uncover the madman hiding among them!
With an age range of 14 years+ and with players of 4 – 11, PsychoBabble is the social party game that engulfs you in a sea of suspicion, accusations and self-doubt. An engaging experience like no other as it will test your powers of deduction as well as creating an absorbing atmosphere.
Kedric, the creator of Psychobabble, has been designing board games on and off for 10 year. He currently works from home in the seaside village of Filey, North Yorkshire. Kedric’s games are typically light or filler games in that can be played in under 30 mins by casual gamers and non-gamers. They are mostly mild-horror or weird-fiction themed. He loves all things tabletop and comes from a proud line of games designers, his great uncle Horrace having invented TiddlyWinks in the 1800’s. His current favourite games are Nice Buns, Micro Macro Crime City and Talisman.
Both Kedric and Cheatwell Games will be at UK Games Expo 2022 and I can’t wait to meet them both! I will certainly be picking up a copy of this little gem too 😉 Save one for me please Kedric!
If you would like to grab one too before they hit the shops, please hot foot it over to see Cheatwell Games and you’ll be able to swap a £20 note for a box of Pyschobabble goodness. And don’t forget to say that your good old gamer friend Sally sent you over too 😉
