Viral is an area control and strategy game where players compete as competing viruses, battling to infect and dominate zones within a human body. Each player uses mutation cards to spread infection, control organs, and outmaneuver rival viruses. The goal is to earn Viral Points (VPs) by controlling zoneslinked groups of organs like both sides of the heart. But beware: overcrowded organs trigger CRISES, attracting the immune system and wiping out infections. As viruses spread, doctors advance on the Research Chart, and if your virus is fully researched, you’ll be temporarily cured. For 25 players, ages 12+, with 6090 minute playtime.
