HappyDale Sanitarium (Major Square)

We all need rest. Yes, everyone—even a big-shot politico like yourself—needs a little rest sometimes. And in the hustle- and-bustle of today’s modern world, sometimes we’re not all able to rest on our own. Sometimes it helps to have the aid of expensive tranquilizing chemicals and state-of-the-art restraints. Some- times it helps to have the finest trained orderlies remove your belt, necktie, and any ballpoint pens you may be carrying, and then wrestle you into a cozy cell. Ah, but there are no “cells” here—here there are only Luxury Relaxation Suites, with patented Comfywalls, padded with the gentle opulence of pure rubber to prevent you from dashing your skull open against the hard cinderblock surface hidden beneath them. HappyDale Sanitarium: Because sometimes... it helps.

Voluntary Admission

At HappyDale Sanitarium, you have the option of declaring yourself “checked in” immediately before declaring the end of your turn if your Stress is higher than zero. At that moment, move your playing piece to one of the available Suites, and flip your pin upside down to indicate that you are out of play (see “Out of Play” in the Citizen’s Guide).

After you have spent one full turn out of play in the Sanitarium, lose five points of Stress. If your Stress is still above zero, you have an option: you may “check out” or remain in. If you decide to check out, you return to play and you may take your next turn normally. If you remain in, you remain out of play for another round, and the process repeats itself.

If your Stress has been reduced to zero, you are released from the Sanitarium. Move your playing piece back to the main area of the Sanitarium square and return to play. You will take your next turn normally. No player with a Stress of zero may be admitted into or remain committed in HappyDale Sanitarium.

Involuntary Admission

If your Stress exceeds your Stress Tolerance Level, you have gone Insane. Go out of play and move your pin to HappyDale Sanitarium for Involuntary Admission. Please refer to “Insanity” in the Citizen’s Guide.
