About this game

Virus! turns your body into a battlefield: you're racing to build four healthy organs while your rivals throw viruses at the ones you've already got. Play organ cards to start your collection, then attack, infect, medicate or treat your way through a hand of cards that never stops escalating. A healthy organ becomes vaccinated with the right medicine, but a second virus finishes it off for good, so timing your defenses matters as much as your attacks. It's quick, mean in the best way, and the kind of 20-minute game that spirals into just one more round.
