From BoardGameGeek
You are a junior scientist curing wacky diseases like Noodle Neck and Irritable Beard Syndrome to earn grants and awards. Win by collecting the most awards over three rounds. To play, draw compounds from your bag into your flask and then pour the compounds into experiment tubes to complete sets. Completed sets earn you awards and grant money to buy more tubes and conduct more experiments. Players may choose to press their luck when they encounter contamination tokens that could shut down their laboratory for the rest of the round. Do you want to play it safe or risk it all for scientific glory? Easy to learn and fast to play The Best Medicine uses simultaneous play to maximize excitement and player engagement. -description from the designer
