We Care: A Grizzled Game (2021)

About this game

A terrible pandemic is spreading through the population. Hospitals are filling up with patients in need of care. Acting as the front-line soldiers against the epidemic are scores of healthcare professionals. They must battle against limited resources and the twin dangers of getting sick and mental breakdown as they try and treat everyone. All hope rests on their capable shoulders. We Care — based on The Grizzled and inspired by current world events — puts players deep in the trenches as healthcare professionals battling a terrible disease. Working together, players must use their limited resources wisely. The stress of the job is a constant worry, as is possibly contracting the illness themselves. Part of the proceeds from sales of We Care will go to a healthcare NGO, letting players actually fight against the real-world pandemic.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
