Get ready for a dose of dark humor and chaotic life simulation in Infarkt! In this party game, the goal is simple: be the last one standing. Each player manages their own character, keeping track of health indicators like blood pressure, depression, and weight, which fluctuate with daily (and nightly!) choices. Each round, event cards bring surprises that affect your health – from a night of heavy drinking to an unexpected health crisis. Then, everyone plans their actions simultaneously, deciding to go to work to earn cash (but increasing depression), to the supermarket to buy food (which can become a gift... or torture for friends), or to the pharmacy for some 'medication'. Life is a roller coaster, and in Infarkt, you need to navigate it without having a literal heart attack. If any health indicator reaches its limit, your character is eliminated. Eliminated players might even have to pay for the funeral, increasing the depression of the living! The last survivor, dancing on the ashes of their friends, wins the game. It's a wild race to see who can withstand the blows of modern life the longest, with plenty of laughs and a touch of social commentary.
