About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your immune system ready, because war has broken out! In Immuno Deficiency Wars, you take on the role of an organism trying to stay healthy while facing a true army of invaders. The goal is simple but far from easy: be the last one standing. To achieve this, you start with healthy immune cells ready to fight off bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even parasites. But don't be fooled, the danger doesn't just come from the outside! As you draw cards, you run the risk of gaining autoimmune disorders, which deactivate your defenses and leave you in a very tough spot. If your health drops too low, you're out of the game. During your turn, you'll need to manage your action points very carefully. You can choose to draw new cards, play what you have in hand, or activate your immune cells to fight off threats. The deck is split into three crucial types: Infections, which you can play on your friends to cause some chaos (and make them sick); Autoimmune Diseases, which are true nightmares that are hard to get rid of; and Treatments, which are your salvation to cure infections or even deal with those pesky autoimmune diseases. It's a fast-paced, dynamic game with a touch of mischief that will have you laughing while your friends struggle to survive. Note that this is a simplified version of ImmunoWars, perfect for those wanting a quick, direct experience without losing the essence of the biological battle.
