Plague Inc: The Board Game

A plague for everyone -- Plague Inc: The Board Game is a strategic game of infection, evolution and extinction for 1-4 players lasting 60-90 minutes. Each person takes on the role of a deadly disease competing against their friends in a battle to be the first to infect and wipe out the world! Based on the bestselling video game ‘Plague Inc.’, with over 100 million players worldwide, Plague Inc: The Board Game takes the best elements of the original and crafts them into a sleek tabletop experience which is totally different every time you play.

Infect the world -- The game is easy to learn, fast to set up and the intuitive game mechanics linked to the realistic theme help everyone get stuck into the game straight away.

Evolve and spread -- Experienced players will love the strategic depth and they can also enjoy the new Virus expansion which comes with unique special abilities and tactical options (included in the box for free). Watch out for Mutations!

Start by infecting a single country -- Beginning with Patient Zero, you spread your infection across the world by placing tokens in cities, earning DNA points, and preventing other players from becoming dominant.

Evolve symptoms to become powerful -- Initially, your pathogen is weak and unspecialised, so you will need to add new symptoms to make it stronger. Choose carefully and plan ahead in order to react to ever-changing world.

Use Event Cards to shape the world -- As countries start to fall, you might try to eradicate a dominant player by bombing their diseased cities, or hold the Olympics to cause huge numbers of infected people to travel to a healthy continent.
