Description
Death Wish is a ridiculously fun party card game where the goal is to be the first player to die from fictional diseases. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 8 players can join in on the hilarious action, which takes around 20 to 45 minutes to play. Designed by Jason Hibbert and published in 2017, this game is all about collecting matching symptoms and afflicters to contract the diseases on the table, with a twist of storytelling and take-that mechanics. As you collect diseases, you get to share your weird diagnosis with the group, declaring how you caught it and the terrible symptoms you're suffering from. With over 240 different diseases, afflicters, and symptoms, the combinations are vast and entertaining. Outbreak cards add an extra layer of excitement, with random effects that can change the game's dynamic, such as mutating diseases or even bringing a player back to life.
