    Description

    China circa 168 CE

    Chinese traditional medicine is the oldest continuous medical system in the world. When the Angel of Death spread a devastating plague along the Silk Roads into China the physicians must work together to eliminate the disease or die themselves.

    One player is the Angel of Death placing disease disks on the intersections on a 8 x 8 squared board. As he spreads disease the rest of the players move the physicians and battle to contain it and even destroy it completely.

    Players take turns to move any physician diagonally except the one moved on the last turn. Move next to the disease to eliminate it, but with another physician close by to protect you. If you are not prepared to sacrifice some of the physicians lives, you cannot eliminate much of the disease. If the physician jumps over a disease, it is eliminated from the board and the game. Physicians may continue jumping as long as
    they can eliminate disease.

    The Angel of Death places more disease at the end of each physician player’s turn. A physician, surrounded by diseases, four in the middle of the board, two on the side of the board, or one in a corner, is killed and removed from the game.

    The game is over when either:

    • When there is no disease left to place.
    • All the physicians have been killed.
    • There is no disease on the board.

    Total the numbers on the physicians, that is their score. The total number of disease on the board is the Angel of Death’s score. The side with the highest score wins the game.

    Dark Death is only available as part of the Ancient World Multi Game System.
