How young could you be to play this game?

While not super dirty there are adult themes in the game. So I think it's up to preference. I'm pretty open with my kids, I'd have had no issues 13 and up, but that's me.

Does this include the High Tolerance and Misdiagnosis cards?

My daughter said it doesn't, but she wished it did .

Is this the game produced by Pillbox Games?

Yes, Pillbox Games is the sole publisher.
