Satirical card game Antyszczepionkowcy.biz (anti-vaccers.biz) is designed to trick players to becoming aware of the value of vaccinations. Players can expect perverse humour and fun with friends. The game shows the consequences and realities of the activities of businessmen profiting from alternative medicine. Players try to gain influence at all costs by selling useless goods in their online stores. They also collect signatures and lobby for harmful laws. Their actions affect the population resistance index, and over time, cases of various diseases become more dangerous. This may harm the anti-vaccers themselves ... unless they are smart enough to vaccinate. On a turn, a player can first draw as many cards as he likes, one at a time from the deck, placing them on the table. If the player draws a disease with the same name as a disease already on the table, he was too greedy and his turn ends immediately. All the cards were drawn in this turn being discarded. Otherwise, the player can stop whenever he likes, then earn as much money as much card he draws and buys one card (Product / Signature for Law / Action). Of course, players can vaccinate themselves: this hypocrisy costs them -1 point per vaccinate but give them a possibility to ignore the first card of a disease per turn. When one player has at least ten influence points the game is played to the end of the round, giving everyone the same number of turns, then the player with the most points wins. -description from designer
