Starting 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. Players choose which countries are placed on the board but you must be both climate resistant and connected to a country before you can infect it.
Eventually, as countries become fully infected - you try to kill them using the Death Dice. At the start, your disease is weak and unspecialised, so you will need to add new symptoms to make it stronger.
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.
Each player has their very own deadly disease to work with, earning DNA points to evolve new symptoms and infect as many people as they can across the globe. The game is easy to learn and fast to set up, so everyone can get stuck in straight away. Start with a player mat, a set of plague cubes, and some special trait cards. The player who last washed their hands gets to go first.
