About this project

ImmunoWars is our flagship: a competitive card game in which players battle as pathogens and immune cells. Beneath the playful mechanics sits a surprisingly accurate model of how the immune system works, from antibodies and phagocytes to mutations and resistance.

The game is used by medical and biomedical students, yet accessible enough for anyone curious about immunology. What started as a student project grew into a product played at universities worldwide.

An expandable system
