🎮 How to Play

🌍 1. Set Up the World

Place the game board showing cities across the globe. Infect several cities with disease cubes and assign each player a unique role such as Medic, Scientist, Dispatcher, or Researcher.

👥 2. Work as a Team

Unlike competitive board games, everyone wins or loses together. Discuss strategies and coordinate your actions to stop four deadly diseases from spreading.

🎯 3. Take Your Turn

Each player's turn consists of:

• Take 4 Actions
  • Move between cities
  • Treat disease cubes
  • Build research stations
  • Share knowledge with teammates
  • Discover cures
• Draw 2 Player Cards
  • Collect city cards
  • Use powerful Event cards
  • Beware of Epidemic cards!
• Infect Cities
  Draw Infection Cards to place new disease cubes on the board.

🧪 4. Discover the Cures

Collect enough matching city cards at a research station to discover cures for all four diseases before time runs out.

⚠️ 5. Prevent Outbreaks

If a city would receive a fourth disease cube, an Outbreak occurs, spreading the disease to neighboring cities and increasing the Outbreak Counter. Too many outbreaks can end the game.

🚨 6. Handle Epidemics

When an Epidemic card is drawn:

• Increase the infection rate.
• Infect a new city with multiple disease cubes.
• Intensify the Infection Deck, making previously infected cities more dangerous.

🏆 7. Win the Game

The team wins immediately after discovering cures for all four diseases.

❌ You Lose If:

• Eight outbreaks occur.
• Disease cubes of any color run out.
• The Player Deck is exhausted before all cures are discovered.
