One Happy Family is an applied card game about opening up about depression, expressed and played among families and friends.
Each player is provided with a task. This task can either be an everyday task, while the others are acts of suicide. To carry out your task, one must gather the items required to complete it. Trade cards with others, while making sure no one suspects you.
The family members that are not suicidal must find out who in their family is suicidal. Suicidal players must hide true intentions and kill themselves before anyone can save them.
