About the Cards

Trouble Cards (Red Border)

Play these against another player to halt their progress. Only one Trouble card may affect a player at a time. The targeted player must overcome the Trouble with the matching Good Fortune or Safe card before continuing.

TroubleEffect
No Help CalledEmergency help has not been activated yet.
Unsafe SceneThe area is not safe enough to continue care.
What Now?You are unsure what step comes next.
Equipment FailureNeeded equipment or supplies are missing, damaged, or not ready.
Permission DeniedA responsive person declines or has not given permission for care.

Good Fortune Cards

  • Call 911: Required before collecting any Care Card. Remedies No Help Called.
  • Scene Clear: Remedies Unsafe Scene. Drone-assisted hazard scan confirms the scene is safe to approach.
  • Action Plan: Remedies What Now? Smart glasses display a clear step-by-step response plan.
  • Basic Supplies: Required for First Response Care Cards. Remedies Equipment Failure.
  • Rescue Equipment: Required for Emergency Care Cards. Remedies Equipment Failure. Quadcopter-delivered AED and advanced monitoring equipment.
  • Certification: Required before collecting any Care Card. Remedies Permission Denied.

Safe Cards (Blue Border)

Safe cards protect against specific Trouble. They may be played proactively (before Trouble arrives) or reactively. If a Safe card is already face-up and the matching Trouble is played against you, the Trouble has no effect. If the matching Safe card is still in your hand when Trouble is played, you may immediately call “Gotcha!” and play the Safe card. The Trouble card is then turned back on the player who played it.

  • It's Safe: Permanent protection against Unsafe Scene. Drone confirms safe zone with all-clear scan.
  • Full First Aid Kit: Works as both Basic Supplies and Rescue Equipment. Permanent protection against Equipment Failure.
  • Certified Instructor: Permanent protection against What Now? and Permission Denied.

Overdose (Gold Border)

Steal any Care Card from an opponent. A one-time WILD action. Cannot be drawn from the discard pile. The Wild card may never be drawn from the face-up discard pile, but it is reshuffled into the draw pile at the start of each new training session.

Help Cards (Reference Only)

The Help cards are not used during play. Remove them from the deck before dealing. Players may keep a Help card nearby for quick reference.

Game Play

Setup

  1. Remove all Help cards from the deck and choose a dealer.
  2. Adjust the deck for your player count (see table below). For 4 players, use the full deck. For 2 or 3 players, remove the listed cards and set them aside. All Trouble, Safe, and Wild cards always remain in play.
  3. Shuffle the remaining cards thoroughly.
  4. Deal six cards face-down, one at a time, starting with the player to the dealer’s left.
  5. Place the remaining cards face-down in the center as the draw pile.
  6. Turn the top card of the draw pile face-up beside it to start the discard pile.

On Your Turn

  1. Draw one card from either the draw pile or the top of the discard pile. (Exception: the Wild card may never be drawn from the face-up discard pile.)
  2. Play one card face-up into your response area, or play a Trouble card against another player.
  3. If you cannot or choose not to play, you must discard one card face-up to the discard pile.

Core Rules

  • Before playing any Care Card card, you must have Call 911, Certification, and the correct Basic Supplies face-up in your response area with no unresolved Trouble.
  • Basic Supplies may only be played while targeting First Response. Rescue Equipment may only be played while targeting Emergency Care. Full First Aid Kit works for either.
  • Care Cards must be collected in order: Scene Safety → Find the Problem → CPR & AED → Medical Care → Injury Care. Reach each target count before advancing.
  • Only one Trouble card may affect a player at a time.
  • Play passes to the left after each turn.

Seasons

When the draw pile is exhausted, shuffle the entire discard pile (including the Wild card) and place it face-down to form a new draw pile. A new training session has begun. The game continues across as many training sessions as needed.

Victory

The first player to complete all five Care Cards, Scene Safety through Injury Care, wins the game! If play becomes hopelessly locked, the table may agree to call a stalemate.
