Can You Save This Dude?

In Can You Save This Dude, you are a medical scientist on a mission to save the life of a patient infected by a deadly virus. The patient could die if body temperature, pulse, or blood pressure (“BP”) spike to lethal levels, or if the virus spreads throughout the whole body. You have at your disposal 3 types of drugs for treating the patient:

• Blue drug (represented by blue die) which directly fights the virus (represented by red dice). But as a side effect, it causes the patient’s body temperature to rise
• Green drug (represented by green die) for managing temperature increase side effect caused by the blue drug.
• White drugs (represented by white dice), being basic drugs for stabilizing patient. White drugs can also be combined into a Mega Drug which can instantly cure patient

There are 2 ways to win the game:

a) Eliminate the virus from the body (by pushing red die off the bottom of the virus track using blue dice),

OR

b) Successfully create a Mega Drug with six white dice in it and instantly cure the patient.

The patient dies and you lose the game when either:

• Virus spreads and red dice reaches the “dead face” emoticon on the virus track OR
• Temperature, BP or pulse marker rises and reaches the “dead face” emoticon and you are unable to resuscitate the patient
