Physicians race to jump-capture a spreading plague before the Angel of Death overwhelms the board.
Who it's for
Groups who enjoy one-against-many abstract games with a tense push-your-luck sacrifice element.
Not for you if…
You dislike asymmetric setups where one player's goals directly oppose the whole table's.
Vibe's take
Grim and tactical, every rescue mission risks a physician's life. The tension ratchets up as the board fills and safe moves get scarcer.
Dark Death casts one player as the Angel of Death seeding plague across an eight-by-eight grid while the rest steer physicians who must jump the disease to wipe it out. Every cure risks a life, so the team has to decide how much sacrifice buys them a healthier board.
