Virus!: Roll & Write

Players are trainee researchers racing to develop vaccines against four different viruses in a busy hospital research ward. On each turn players roll dice and mark results on personal sheets to allocate resources, run clinical trials, and manage sample contamination. Actions include choosing whether to cooperate or compete with others, timing trials to gain advantages, and avoiding or mitigating viral contamination that can set back progress. The game resolves through score comparisons based on completed trials, resource management, and contamination control, with tension between speed and safety driving decisions.
