Description
Virulence: An Infectious Card Game is a quick and simple game where 2 to 5 players take on the role of viruses competing to infect a host cell. The goal is to replicate your viral components and score points. Each round, players secretly choose a Virus card and then simultaneously reveal their virulence, determining the order in which they get to select from the available Viral Component cards. The game is easy to learn and combines blind bidding, engine building, and a bit of luck, making it addictively competitive. With a playtime of just 10 to 20 minutes, Virulence is perfect for a quick game night with friends. The rules are simple, and the game can be taught in no time, allowing you to dive right into the fun. Designed by John Coveyou and Paul Salomon, Virulence has been infecting gamers since 2016 with its unique blend of strategy and luck.
