A truly co-operative game where either you all win…or you all lose!
Four diseases have broken out in the world and it is up to a team of specialists in various fields to find cures for these diseases before mankind is wiped out.
Players must work together, playing to their characters’ strengths and planning their strategy of eradication before the diseases overwhelm the world with ever-increasing outbreaks. For example, the Operation Specialist can build research stations, which are needed to find cures for the diseases. The Scientist needs only 4 cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal 5.
But the diseases are spreading fast and time is running out: the team must try to stem the tide of infection in diseased areas while also working towards cures.
Box contains:
- 1 game board
- 96 wooden cubes (for diseases)
- 4 pawns
- 6 wooden research stations
- 6 markers
- 48 infection cards
- 59 player cards
- 4 role cards
- 4 quick reference cards
