Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • game progression — the game escalates as players near the key healing set and as take-that opportunities emerge to break stalemates
  • Hand Management — cards are played into one of four pillars (A, B, C, D) as part of the collection mechanic
  • hand management with pillars — cards are played into one of four pillars (A, B, C, D) as part of the collection mechanic
  • infection/healing deck interaction — two distinct decks exist: a pink infection deck and a cyan healing/action deck; players draw and play one card from each type per turn
  • losing/winning conditions — you win by collecting three matching healing cards, or by being the last player standing; accumulation of five of the same type and certain healing card plays can trigger losses
  • per-turn card limits — each turn you can play one card of each type (infection, healing, action) and redraw back up to six
  • professor escalation — when near completion, the 'Professor' effect can allow a player to play two infection cards per round
  • Set Collection — players aim to collect three of the same type to discover the cure and win
  • take-that interactions — infection cards can be passed to opponents to hinder them; cyan action cards allow swaps, steals, extra plays, or protection
