Symptomatic

Symptomatic

2024·Leslie Kolke

3 - 8 players
20 - 35 min

From BoardGameGeek

Symptomatic is a light, card-based game about serious diseases. From Chicken Pox to the Bubonic Plague, getting sick has never been so fun. Manage your cards and combine various symptoms to infect others with deadly diseases, while utilizing cures to protect yourself. However, be careful, as cures can have consequences too! The goal is to be the healthiest player in the group when the first player dies. The diseases in game are based on real life ailments, and require specific symptoms to infect another player. Assemble your hand to give a set of symptoms to your opponent, and watch out for the sets your opponents give you! Use both your real world pathology knowledge and your in-game strategy to dish out more diseases than you take. Symptomatic, much like real life, requires critical thinking, strategy, and a bit of luck to stay healthy as everyone else suffers. Featuring plenty of brightly colored original art and goofy puns, Symptomatic is the mix of disease, decisions and dad jokes you never knew you needed. -description from the designer
