Hey everyone! Ready for a race against time and viruses at General Hospital? In Virus!: Roll & Write, you're super ambitious medical students competing for a prestigious scholarship. The mission? Develop vaccines for four viruses that are keeping the scientific community up at night. To achieve this, you'll need to be smart with resource management and quick with clinical trials. The goal is to get ahead of the competition, but the big question is: is it worth collaborating to speed things up, or is it better to hinder your rivals? Just be careful not to contaminate everything with the viruses themselves, okay? This game is pure adrenaline, blending the tension of a race with the fun of a roll & write. Every dice roll could be your salvation or your downfall, and how you fill out your player sheet is crucial. It's a fast-paced and lighthearted way to dive into the world of medical research, with a touch of competition and strategic decisions that will leave you wondering if you made the right call. Do you have what it takes to become the next big name in medicine? Let's find out!
