Description

In the world of Soma, a fierce battle is underway as the Lords of Pestilence unleash their dark forces, including Anthrax, Pertussis, and the Black Death, to wreak havoc on innocent villagers. Fortunately, the Apothecary Healers, led by powerful warriors like Penicillin, Cipro, and Tetracycline, are on the front lines, fighting to save the day. As a player of Healing Blade: Defenders of Soma, you'll take on the role of either the attacker, summoning waves of bacteria, or the defender, strategically deploying antibiotics to counter the invasion. This 45-minute game for one to two players requires strategic hand management and memory skills, as the bacteria learn to resist and evade the antibiotics. With its unique blend of fantasy and real-world medical themes, Healing Blade: Defenders of Soma offers a fun and educational experience that's easy to learn, even for those without prior knowledge of medicine. Designed by Brandon Patton, this 2016 game is a great choice for anyone looking for a challenging and engaging card game.
