Product Information

Players also need to keep in mind where they place their Trait cards on their player board, as some spots include special abilities. Covering these spots with a Trait card means you can no longer use that ability. Unable to Move– if any player can neither place cubes nor roll the Death Die during their turn, the game immediately ends. Plague Inc: The Board Game is a strategy game in which players aim to evolve their deadly diseases and race to wipe out humanity. Trait cards represent the symptoms (by and large) of your disease, with each card enabling your disease to do something else, or something extra. Each card is delightfully named and thankfully bears no picture other than an abstracted symbol.

In a game of Plague Inc.: The Board Game players are deadly diseases trying to spread across the world. They score DNA Points and evolve new symptoms for their pathogen to wipe out humanity. In single-player mode, the player play against the "PlagueBot". To start, player should flip the Card Mat over and the mat become PlagueBot slide, your opponent. While the cards that normally be put on the Card Mat should be put on the table next to the board instead. One variant we like is to introduce an auction at the stage of gene token distribution [after the first country has been overrun]. Rather than using DNA points to determine player selection, players can bid and pay for a single gene. This still gives the player with the most DNA points an advantage, but allows everyone to at least have a chance of winning the “stronger” genes.On 6 December 2018, Ndemic Creations released Rebel Inc., a follow-up game with a political theme based around the "complexities and consequences of foreign intervention and counter insurgency." [17] In it, players must stabilize a post-war country while stopping insurgents from taking power. [18] Though the game was originally only available on iOS, a port for Android devices was released on 11 February the following year. [19] We first became familiar with Plague Inc. when our sons started playing the mobile app game in high school. They were drawn in by the strategy and realistic modeling of variables to simulate the spread and severity of a plague. Event Key:"Token '' refers to any player's Token (including your own) unless otherwise specified. "Move a Token " refers to a Token already placed on the World Board. People might ask if the Armageddon expansion is worth it. This does depend on what players want from Plague Inc. It certainly allows a five- player game of fun, but perhaps at the expense of slower gameplay. The added traits, countries and events whilst a little more up to date, are virtually indistinguishable from the original cards. The only element is the permanent genetic variability and new pathogen types.

Player may infect countries by placing as many Play Tokens as possible. The number of tokens placed in this phase are limited to the infectivity of the disease. Player may also choose to do nothing and skip the phase.

Game Play

For a more relaxed, less confrontational experience. Remove all Event Cards from the game and ignore rules about awarding Event Cards. That’s right, the popular mobile app game, Plague Inc., first released in 2012 by Ndemic Creations, is now available as a board game available from Asmodee. Development most likely started in 2011 with the creator, James Vaughan, working on the game in his evenings and afternoons. [1] Alexander, Leigh (26 March 2013).
