I would say that you would definitely want to play a few games to test out the different strategies of going outdoors or staying indoors. There are only three different kinds of supplies you can collect BUT there are quite a few different kinds of “Effect” cards and the text on the cards is always entertaining to read. This is a prime example of how you need to constantly weigh the importance of staying indoors or going outside. And if you just stay indoors the entire time you won’t nearly collect enough supplies to win.

When I played with 2 players it was just a back and forth attack fest of trying to steal supplies. I think the game would excel at higher player counts primarily to more evenly distribute the attacks. However, if a “+” is drawn you have tested positive for Infection and are out of the game! If a “-“ id drawn you tested Negative and are fine…for now. If the player doesn’t have an Infection Prevention card then they must draw the next card from the corresponding deck to “test” for infection. These nasty beasts, if drawn, will cause the player to discard their super valuable “Infection Prevention” card to avoid it.

There is also a small touch of supply gaining cards and a couple of the dreaded “Infection” cards that are what players are trying to avoid. If you stay indoors you are more likely to draw “Effect” cards that protect you from other players attacks, however there are also “Impact” cards that negatively impact you which usually results in you having to discard a particular supply card and if you can’t you have to immediately go outdoors. There are a variety of cards when you draw from either deck but each deck is slightly different which is where the strategy comes in. You will ONLY draw from the deck matching the face up side of your starting card and these cards will dictate if/when you can draw from the luscious Supply deck, which is the ultimate goal. There are three decks of cards to draw from, an Indoors, Outdoors and Supplies deck. On a players turn you get three actions in any combination of playing cards or drawing cards.
