About this deal

Place tokens in cities, earn points, and work to prevent other players from dominating the board. As your disease spreads and you take over more countries, you earn DNA points. DNA points double as victory points and currency, to spend on Traits to upgrade your disease. Traits improve your infectivity, lethality, ability to travel between continents, and can make you weather resistant to different climates. This allows you to place your tokens in more cities. 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. Once a player is in control of a fully infected country, they must try to kill it once and for all by rolling the 6-sided Death Die. If the number rolled is less than or equal to their lethality rate, the country is killed. There are both advantages and disadvantages to killing off countries, so plan wisely…

Player may only infect country if the player is resistant to that country climate. (e.g. hot countries requires Heat Resistance Trait, neutral climate countries doesn't require any resistance trait, etc.) If PlagueBot still unable to process any Traits after doing that, then PlagueBot will discard all the Trait cards it has and replace it with the new ones, and end its turn. 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.

World domination, area control, dice driven skirmishes – these could easily describe Risk, that old chestnut of a game that we have banned in our household due to the arguments that have taken place!

The player draws one card from the card mat. Player may choose between the 3 face-up country cards or a face-down card. Then the player may choose to place the country card or place it on the World Board. After that, a new face-up country card should be placed on the mat. 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? Development most likely started in 2011 with the creator, James Vaughan, working on the game in his evenings and afternoons. [1] In Plague Inc. you don’t want to succeed too much as you can risk taking yourself out of the game, so striking that perfect balance where you are slightly ahead but never at risk is an interesting challenge. At the same time, players are punished if all of their disease tokens are wiped off the map, which can make forcing a rival to kill their last habitat a potentially advantageous move. It’s a simple but effective way of introducing more risk-reward strategy decisions and player interaction. This is aided by the event cards, which offer the opportunity to impede your opponents more directly. The manual suggests removing them for a less confrontational match, but we’d argue they’re key to making the game a deeper and more fulfilling experience.For some reason, it is called "Death Dice", not "Death Die" (consult the rule book for more details).

Based on the popular video game Plague Inc by Ndemic Creations, Plague Inc: The Board Game brings a recognisable design with its striking colour palette and icons. And it’s not only similar in looks, but in all the ways that made us love playing the original.
