Crisis on Cardea is a fast-paced sequence-matching, deck-building card game for 2 to 5 players. Taking place on planet Cardea, home to humanity's latest colony, you and up to four other players will compete by building teams of Cardeans to study, investigate, test, and eradicate the planet’s native pathogens. Players will build teams of specialized Cardeans to resolve Outbreaks across the planet. The game consists of 2 decks of cards; a Risk Deck and Safe Deck. Deal each player 6 cards (from the Safe Deck), and place the two decks in the middle of the table. Place out as many cards as there are players in front of you from the Risk Deck and reveal. - These are your Outbreaks. During the game, the players will form a Personal Deck, by drawing more cards, move Cardeans to their Team, play Action Cards, and Resolve Outbreaks. The first player to collect 10 Outbreak points, wins the game. Players get an equal amount of turns, so when a player reaches ten Outbreak points, the round continues until each player has completed their turn.
