## Description
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?

Here you build your deck DURING gameplay to respond to threats, like a real immune system!
