Product Information

If there are more than one player with the most Play Tokens placed on a country, then those players conquers the country and received DNA Points from that country. The published recommended age for the game is 14+. And we’re sure part of that is due to the theme. Once the final Country card has been placed or discarded, the game immediately enters Sudden Death. During Sudden Death, players skip the Country phase and the game can end in 1 of 2 ways:

Plague Inc: The Board Game is a strategy game in which players aim to evolve their deadly diseases and race to wipe out humanity.Kastrenakes, Jacob (10 March 2013). " 'Plague Inc.' game creator to speak at the CDC about public health". The Verge. Vox Media. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. Plague Inc: The Board Game is a strategic game of infection, evolution and extinction for 1-4 people - based on the smash-hit digital game with over 130 million players. For some reason, it is called "Death Dice", not "Death Die" (consult the rule book for more details).

Players can also sabotage their rivals and bolster their own efforts by using event cards. Bomb the dominant player’s diseased cities or hold the Olympics to attract a huge surge of infected people to a healthy continent. Fast forward to the start of 2019. The Armageddon Expansion is launched to bring Plague Inc even more up to date. It was released just before the COVID-19 pandemic but the themes and challenges of spreading a pandemic are just as real, if not more so. What Does It Add? As a fan of the mobile game, I’m really excited to see where the board game goes and how it develops with expansions, not that they are needed but they are ripe for design. As much as this game is a little morbid, it is sometimes a lot of fun being the “bad guy.” Plague Inc is likely a little strategically shallow for those who have already played medium-weight strategy titles or have no investment in the video game. That doesn’t discredit its achievement in accurately bringing its inspiration to the tabletop – much like the video game, this is a fun way to spend an hour or two indulging in an entertaining theme, eye-catching design and simple gameplay. Only now you can enjoy it all with friends. The importance of that shouldn’t go understated. These benefits range from making your disease more infectious, making it tolerant to extreme temperatures, more stable when travelling and, probably most importantly, making it more lethal. Only one Trait can be evolved –added – to your disease each turn, so the manner in which you evolve your pathogen will impact your game.Finally, once the final Country card has been placed or discarded, the game enters sudden death. The game ends when one player’s plague is eradicated, or when a player is unable to make any moves. The player with the most points wins. But players are also faced with a variety of choices throughout the game to direct their path and disrupt others. Perhaps the most impactful choices to make are those dealing with which Traits you want to play for evolving your virus or bacteria. It also matters where you place those Traits on your player board because if you cover up those spaces with an ability on them, you lose that ability. So the card you cover it up with better be what you really want. My Bacteria is evolving well. On 28 February 2019, the studio announced that they would add an in-game scenario about vaccine hesitancy to the game, after a Change.org petition to do so gained over 10,000 signatures.
