The objective was to develop a game that would improve medical students' knowledge about the value and interpretation of the white blood cell. The game consists of 63 cards, including different clinical cases involving conditions that modify white blood cell count, related laboratory findings, and the respective diagnosis. The objective of the game was to match the three groups of cards, explaining their association.
