Back Up!
This new card game might be a bit off the beaten path and a fun addition. The object in Back Up! is to get rid of your back pain, by collecting HEALTH cards and getting rid of PAIN cards. A humorous diversion for anyone experiencing back issues—65 million Americans suffer from some sort of back pain.
Each card is related to back issues and illustrated with clever art. Some example cards:
- The PAIN card “Pick up a box that you thought was linens but turns out to be books,” increases your pain level by 3 points.
- The HEALTH card “Walk instead of taking the car”, decreases your pain level by 2 points.
- The ACTION card “Prescription runs out” allows you to steal a card from another player.
While the game is non-therapeutic, players have reported feeling better after playing. For a brief overview see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffJ0UpQsbLI
