What if learning about medicines felt more like playing UNO?

During his internship in a rural community, John Vincent Cacho noticed a recurring problem: Filipinos often forget the names of medicines recommended to them.

LUNAS is a Filipino-made educational card game that transforms pharmacology into fast-paced party fun where players race to cure illnesses with matching medicine cards while sabotaging their opponents.
