Short description
In Virulence, each player is a virus competing to infect a host cell and replicate their own viral components to score points. Each round, players secretly choose one Bidding Card from their hand, place it face down on the table, then simultaneously flip these cards to reveal each player’s Bidding Card strength (or virulence).
In order from the highest to the lowest virulence, players then take turns choosing from the available Viral Component Cards, which are each worth a varying number of points.
The player with the most points at the end of the game wins!
Educational Value
Understanding the spread of viruses and how to counter them.
Recommendation for use
Virulence is has easy rules and is a fast bidding game. That makes it easy to use in a group, but on the other hand the substantive subject matter can be lost sight of. It is up to the game leader to keep an eye on this.
Tips and tricks
- There is a special gameplay for 2 persons.
