About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a frantic race against time in Omega Virus: Prologue! This isn't a game for overthinkers; it's pure card-based adrenaline. Each player receives an identical deck, representing the guts of the Battlesat as it disintegrates. The mission? Build your own floor plan by playing cards in real-time to create "rooms." Managed to assemble a complete room? Congratulations, you've earned keys! And with those keys comes the power to unlock special cards containing crucial equipment pieces. The goal is to be the first to find all three pieces and complete the round's objectives to score points. After three electrifying rounds, the player with the most points claims victory. It's a fast-paced, intense game that tests your reflexes and your ability to build under pressure. Perfect for those who want a quick dose of strategy and chaotic fun, without the fuss. If you enjoy games that keep you on the edge of your seat, Omega Virus: Prologue is the right choice!
