Pharma Trumps™ is a spin on the classic series of trump card games where players must compete to score the highest or lowest using various categories. Pharma Trumps™ is perfect for pharmacy professionals, scientists, and pharmacologists (people that understand drugs and actually find them interesting…), but the game can be played by everyone!
