Omaha's board game cafe, Spielbound, is hosting a game night for budding Ebola fighters.

The cafe's first-ever Pandemic Party is Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. In Pandemic, players are disease-fighting specialists in a world plagued by several highly infectious illnesses. Their goal is to successfully treat patients in outbreak hot zones and research cures.

A group plays a game over drinks at Spielbound, a board game cafe in Omaha.

Members of the Nebraska Medical Center team who cared for three Ebola patients at the hospital's biocontainment unit will attend the event. They will also autograph copies of the game Pandemic, which will be raffled off during the day. Raffle tickets are $5.
