Yes and no. But mostly no??

Pathological is a trivia party game with a twist. Instead of trying to give the correct answer, players use real trivia questions as prompts to invent ridiculous stories and convince others that their answer is correct. Trivia knowledge can help, but creativity, persuasion, and confidence are far more important.

Unlike Cards Against Humanity, Pathological isn't just about pairing the funniest answer card. It's about creating a convincing argument about why your answer deserves to win. By combining trivia, storytelling, persuasion, and debate, Pathological creates a highly replayable party game where every round is completely different.

No. In Pathological, players score points by convincing the judge that their answer deserves to win. The winning answer might be the funniest, most creative, most convincing, or most ridiculous explanation. It all depends on the judge's decision each round.

Yes! Pathological is designed to be highly replayable. Unlike many party card games where the same jokes and combinations appear over time *cough cough* Cards Against Humanity *cough cough*, every round of Pathological is driven by player creativity and persuasion. The same question can lead to completely different stories and arguments, making every game feel unique.

Pathological officially supports 3-8 players, making it ideal for small groups and game nights.

You can also play with larger groups by reshuffling discarded cards back into the decks or by playing in teams, making Pathological a flexible party game for almost any gathering.

Pathological is a quick party game and most games take between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on player count and how many rounds you choose to play.

Pathological is however is also a casual party game made so that you can stop the game early (making it great for playing at game night while you're waiting for all the guests to arrive), or continue playing past the 8 points win condition.

YES!! Pathological is a trivia game for everyone. While real trivia questions are used as prompts, winning has much more to do with creativity, persuasion, and storytelling than general knowledge. Even players who struggle with traditional trivia games can be incredibly successful at Pathological.

(I, the creator of the game writing this right now, am terrrrrible at trivia games and always lose!! which secretly is one of the reasons why I created my own trivia game where the right answer doesn't matter)

Yes. Pathological is a popular party game for adults because it encourages humour, debate, storytelling, and creative thinking. Players often invent ridiculous explanations and arguments to justify their answers, leading to memorable game-night moments.
