Up to 8 players are divided into two teams that take turns to place patients with a suspected infection on the board. Using their local policies, players carry out a risk assessment on each patient and decide which precautions they should implement when caring for individual patients.

The game includes 4 sets of cards:

General Patients: Patients who don’t have an infection and who are already in the ward at the beginning of the game.

At-Risk Patients: Patients who are admitted to the ward with suspected or known infections.

Prompt Cards: Give players indications of precautions to apply for each At-Risk Patient

Question Cards: Help players explore general procedures and precautions
