The Cure
The Cure is a serious, biology-based card game. Assemble the best hands and you can win – just like poker. The challenge with The Cure is that we don’t know the rules yet! Until you play, we can’t tell you if you have the equivalent of a royal flush or a pair of 2s.

The Cure is a collaboration between the Su Laboratory and the Scripps Research Institute.
