Two card games for simulating an epidemic are discussed along with some of the underlying Mathematics

Epidemic the card game https://zebm.substack.com/p/epidemic-the-card-game

Simulate an epidemic with a pack of cards. If you had a pack of 1000 cards then you could reproduce the standard SIR model of epidemiological modelling. https://zebm.substack.com/p/epidemic-the-card-game

The viewer is shown how the random nature of an epidemic results in a probability distribution on the values from zero to exponential growth with an average value that corresponds to the standard SIR model https://zebm.substack.com/p/epidemic-the-card-game
