Games with madness as the theme, or perhaps games that drive you crazy.
Now, excuse me. It's time for my medication.
NOTE: Mental illness is a serious subject, and I hope no one finds this list offensive. We just want to play some fun games.

It's a smooth-flowing game, based on rummy (of course).
It brings back memories of those corny old horror movies - my favourite, I think, was Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde, starring the brilliant Ralph Bates.

A friend told me about this one - sounds pretty scary. It includes a 'Certificate of Insanity'. Check out the website http://www.mentaldisorder.com

Going insane is a way to be eliminated. Also, madness and Lovecraftian themes go hand in hand.

It's called the Mad, Mad game... but, whether it's actually playable is perhaps for only the truly mad to know.

I read the rules and realized it would drive me nuts. I'd rather just buy an import!

I've always wanted to try this expansion, but I'm a little afraid that adding more bookkeeping to this "light" game would drive me, well, crazy.

Brilliant idea for a game/movie/novel etc. Thanks to whoever added this to the database.
I visited someone in a mental ward a couple of times. Of course one patient was pretending to be a doctor (dressed in pyjamas?) and some woman thought she was a cat. Completely bonkers!
And listen. If these people are dangerous, why give them knitting needles to play with?

Could this fit the list description any better? Drive your opponent insane!

Drivers gain "lunacies" as they experience trauma on the course, causing impaired judgement.

Board Game: Psyco!

Imagine yourself, an eccentric psychopath, being diagnosed with schizophrenia and having the opportunity to submit to toxic lifetime maintenance medication every day for the rest of your life.
Or how about sending someone you just met into an insane asylum because you as a licensed alienist have legitimate authority to clinically diagnose and scientifically influence judgment.
Psyco! is the Italian translation of MENTAL DISORDER, a funny and satyrical card game designed by CHARLES SEVERANCE, focusing players' attention on the matter of mental health.
This game is designed for 2-8 players. Unlike most card games or board games, this game does not end when a victory condition is met. Instead it ends when a vanquished condition occurs.
This peculiar, weird, and unique end-game design adequately reflects the twisted state of more than one psychopath on which it is based. A vanquished condition exists when a player acquires 100 Insanity Points or more.
The Italian version of the game can be FREELY downloaded for print, cut & play at:
www.calvinus.tk
The English version can be downloaded from Charles' site:
www.mentaldisorder.com

One of two entries in the 2006 Microgame Design Contest. In the game, each player adopts simultaneously two roles: the Paranoid, who represents a lone conspiracy nut; and the Enemy, who represents a network of real or unreal groups hiding a nefarious secret.
Each Paranoid must struggle with his own weakening grasp on sanity to reveal the Groups, Methods and Goals used by the other players' Enemies. Meanwhile, the Enemies do their best to mislead the Paranoids, betray their competing plotters to them, or just drive them insane (for purposes of entertainment only, though some people do take their games much too seriously).
There are two ways to win the game, and part of a winning strategy is attacking yourself!
Free PnP game.

they should try this with a 'modern' twits for 'Carrottop' as Hekyll, and 'David Alan Grier' as 'Jyeeves', to have this become totally at opposites. I could see that...
"CEO Jyeeves & da bum" somehow, someway, sometimes, the craziest combo work'd, huh? yeah, yeah I mispelled on PURPOSE!
yes, because the 'sane' ones would only HAVE to go around proclaiming themselves as such, eh?
how could you NOT luv them 'Pink Cadillacs' on the cover!
