The Infection: Roll, Write, and Fight is a print-and-play game that allows you to embark on a strategic puzzle-solving journey. Become a Survivor, navigating various locations in a desolate world. Explore each location with boots-on-the-ground action, gather resources, and confront the Turned in this simple yet challenging Roll & Write game. The Survivor gathers Food, Fuel, and Search resources to facilitate movement across the map and acquire various items for critical situations. Exchange resources if needed for different ones. With a randomized roll to choose Enemy and setup, no game will be the same. Survivors and Enemies are represented with dice and activated based on the pip number, from 1-6. Take actions such as using items, picking up resources, walking, and breaking obstacles. Each enemy has its own weaknesses, with specific weapons required for their defeat. Defeating three enemies improves your Survivor's actions, increasing your chances of survival. Reach one of your set goals to beat the game. But be careful, as running out of resources results in immediate defeat. -description from the designer
