Game is happening inside a person's mind with Dissociative identity disorder. Players are that person's Egos and must over take the mind by reducing opponents' Reason to 0. To achieve this, players must use different types of cards: remembrance, echo, state, trigger, catalyst, inhibitor and persona. Cards cost emotions to play them and players' Egos produce them each phase.

At the moment, there are about ~1000 physical cards. All are in Russian. They are divided by 6 factions, emotion. And curently final cards with multiple emotions in their cost are being made. Cards are being made in InkScape, printed and then hand painted with pencils.

There are about 10 people in whole world who ever played Psychochartis. But this number will change when Sp1cyP3pp3r will make a digitalized version of it. (Psychochartis is planned as a Proof of Concept for a theoretical card game engine somewhen in future)
