About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! If you're already into the viral madness of spreading your germs across the board in 'Viral', get ready for an upgrade! This promo card, affectionately called 'Plague', isn't messing around. It gives you an extra boost with 4 powerful actions: you can send 2 of your viruses to the zone you just gave a special touch with the card, and you also get 2 movements to circulate even more. It's like a power-up that makes you more aggressive and strategic in the race for viral domination. The catch is that, at the end of the day, this card itself isn't worth any points – its purpose is to help you dominate the game NOW, not to accumulate score at the end. It's a card for those who like to play with more intensity and aim to turn the game around with a bold move. Think of it as a trick up your sleeve to give that extra push when you need it most, ensuring your opponents feel the pressure. If you're looking for a way to spice up your 'Viral' games and add an extra layer of tactics and unpredictability, this promo is for you. It integrates perfectly with the base game, offering new options and challenges without overcomplicating things. It's that card that makes the difference in that crucial moment!
