Pharmageddon: Bugs vs Drugs

Pharmageddon is a medical education card game. A fun way to learn antibiotics and microbiology. Play the best antibiotic to kill the most pathogens with the fewest side effects. There are two decks of cards: Bug Cards (bacteria and syndromes) and Drug Cards (antibiotics). Each player uses Drug Cards to slay Bug Cards which slowly fill up a 3 x 3 playing area. If you successfully match an effective Drug to a susceptible Bug you get to keep matching and killing more. If you fail, play moves on to the next player, and the Bug Card may become more resistant. Each drug has its own side effects and flora costs, though, so choose your Drug Cards wisely. Guess wrong too many times and the 3 x 3 playing area will be overwhelmed. If that happens you lose a life. Game ends when either the players survive the Bug Card onslaught and complete the Bug Card deck or all players lose all their lives.

Solo and versus modes, varying levels of difficulty, and expert scoring options are also available.
