Symptomatic

A Game of Sickness, Survival, and Betrayal

Play Symptoms and Diseases on your friends while trying to stay alive! The Player with the most Health Points at the end of the game wins.

Symptomatic is a silly card-based game about serious diseases. From Chicken Pox to the Bubonic Plague, getting sick has never been so fun. The base game contains 135 playing cards and 8 plastic clips.

How To Play

Play Symptoms and Diseases on your opponents! Diseases can’t be played until your opponent has a complete set of that Disease’s Symptoms first.

Heal yourself, protect yourself, and gain lasting bonuses by playing Cures and Enhancements!

The game ends immediately when someone’s Health Bar reaches 0. Be the healthiest player when that happens to win!

About Symptomatic

Symptomatic is a passion project come to life; started in 2018 and realized with a successful Kickstarter in 2024.

Symptomatic wouldn’t be possible without our incredibly supportive family and friends, invaluable feedback from playtesters at Protospiel conventions and local game design meetups, and all of our Kickstarter backers.

My deepest thanks goes to every one of you who helped us on this journey <3
