About the game
What you do in a play session
In Immunology, you and your friends become white blood cells in action! In this cooperative deck-building game, your team must defend a human body against dangerous bacteria like Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. Each player controls neutrophils and macrophages (the body's defense cells) that move across the board representing infected tissues. Cards allow you to attack invaders, generate resources to upgrade your deck, or produce reinforcements. But beware: if body temperature rises too high or tissues suffer excessive damage, it's game over! Scenarios vary with different pathogens and required strategies, ensuring high replayability. A immunology lesson disguised as a game - who said science can't be fun?

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
How many players is it best with?
Works well with 2-4. With 4, games run longer but cooperation becomes richer.
Can it be played solo?
Yes! The cooperative mode allows controlling multiple characters alone, like in Pandemic.
Is the science theme heavy?
Not at all! Mechanics are intuitive and the rulebook explains biological concepts simply.
How does it differ from other deck-builders?
Here you build your deck DURING gameplay to respond to threats, like a real immune system!
Is there planned additional content?
Varied scenarios already ensure replayability, but the theme allows future expansions with new pathogens.
