Description
Viral is a two to five player game where you are a deadly virus that has just infected a patient. Your objective is to mutate and take over the host’s organs. Infect organs, traverse the body through the veins and arteries, and shield or attack with your viruses! Too many viruses present in an organ will cause a Crisis, and the Immune System will wipe all viruses in an organ! Choose your strategy carefully, the doctors are researching a cure for you, and other players’ viruses in the body are sure to get in your way!
In Viral, your goal is to gain Viral Points (VPs) by controlling Zones in a patient’s body. Zones consist of groups of organs within the body (for example the left and right sides of the heart). If during the second step of a round, you are in control of a zone, you will score VPs and the research track will go up for your virus.
The research track represents the doctors outside of the body researching the infections and applying treatments. If a player’s Research token is on the top space of the Research Chart, it means that a cure for that Virus has been found. During the fifth step of the round, all of the virus tokens of that player will be removed from the board!
