About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone, check out this cooperative game that puts you on the front lines against a pandemic! In 'We Care: A Grizzled Game', you step into the shoes of healthcare heroes battling a disease that's overwhelming hospitals. Things get intense: resources are scarce, stress is through the roof, and there's always the risk of contracting the illness yourself or facing mental burnout. It's the kind of game that demands a lot of communication (with some tricky limitations, mind you!) and teamwork to manage caring for everyone. Each player has unique abilities, adding a strategic twist. It's based on 'The Grizzled' but with a super relevant theme that will make you appreciate the difficulty of this fight. And the best part: a portion of the sales proceeds goes to an NGO fighting the real-world pandemic. So, beyond just playing, you're actually helping those on the front lines. Get ready for an intense experience where every decision matters, and hope rests in your hands!
