Production Studio: Week 5 & 6

The Health Game Race To Nairobi (working title) has gotten a great boost of progress lately.


  • Made a new deck based on our experience with playing Mille Bornes
  • Modified the rules to differ ours from Mille Bornes
    • No need for a "Roll!" card after certain diseases
    • Diseases have different effects: Stopping movement, movement limitation, losing a turn, removing highest mileage card
  • Added new cards:
    • Doctor: Cures anything.
    • Flash Flood: Clears away any disease and prevention in front of the selected player.


We also have several new ideas after a playtest with the class:


  • Discard some amount of extra cures to move forward a small amount
  • Add more to the theme - Nutrition, Heat Stroke, Food that benefits the next move, etc.
    • One thing that doesn't make sense in the context is discarding highest mileage card - why moving backward?
      • Mayhaps for going back for hospital?
    • "Hospical Stay" card sounds like it should lose a turn
  • A common feedback is they felt like they were stuck in one place for too long
