Game Description:
Epipocalypse is a medical educational card game. Learn the basic clinical presentation, geographic distribution, vectors, and reservoirs of 100+ infectious diseases worldwide using an endlessly replayable game that tests your knowledge beyond trivia-style questions. Play alone or with friends, with increasing levels of difficulty as you master the game.
Game modes include multiplayer versus & solo campaign.
Who is This Game For?
Epipocalypse is intended for healthcare workers. While game play itself is simple and requires no preexisting medical knowledge, the knowledge does help considerably.
How Is Epipocalypse Played?
In Epipocalypse, players strive to be the first to collect the most Infection cards correctly matched with the Scientist cards that want them. Infections can be matched to Scientists by the types of infections they cause, their geographic distributions, reservoirs, vectors, and more. A single Infection can be matched to multiple Scientists for additional scoring. Smart decisions will get your research team to the finish before your competitors!
Epipocalypse is playable in 2 modes (competitive and solo campaign), with escalating difficulty levels and topics in the solo campaign to suit their interests and knowledge level. Join with friends to take on a solo campaign together!
In competitive mode, you and 1-3 players draft your initial Scientist cards and then take turns “searching” by selecting 1 Infection card or Scientist card from a shared play area. If a player gets stuck they “relocate,” and skip their turn to reset the entire play area the next round. After 10 rounds have passed players score their hands. Player with the most points wins!
In the solo campaign, you and however many friends select Infection cards similar to competitive play, but with a specific set of Scientists for each specific mission. Missions grow in difficulty as you succeed. Make too many errors and game over. Complete enough missions to collect additional power ups to tackle the remaining hardest challenges.
