Developer Post Anti-Vax Scenario: Out now on Mobile!
New Scenario: Anti-Vax
Faith in vaccines is collapsing. Global vaccination campaigns fight to hold the line, but weaponised conspiracies and viral misinformation are infecting the truth! What's the worst that could happen?
New Population Type: Vaccinated; they are already immune to your disease! How will you make them vulnerable?
Out now on iOS and Android!
Looking for the Steam release? It's in the Aliens & Anti-Vaxxers DLC.
Changelog
- Added Anti-Vax Scenario

Developer Post Experimental rules for Plague Inc: The Board Game and Steam digital prototype
We recently announced that we are working on a new print run for Plague Inc: The Board Game - thanks to everyone who filled in the form to say what you want in the game; it's great to see the Board Game still has so much love!
Today we're sharing the current experimental rules with you in order to get your views and feedback before we start manufacturing the game. We're also opening up a prototype digital version of Plague Inc: The Board Game on Steam that we've been using to help me playtest various different rules.
The New Rules
These are experimental and may well change! You can use these rules with your normal copy of the game.
Event Cards
We felt that in larger games, too many event cards made the game feel chaotic so we are limiting the total number. This also simplifies the rules slightly and streamlines play. (there will be a rule variant which lets you have infinite event cards still):
- Setup: Make an event deck with 4 random events per player
- When the event deck runs out, that is it
- On a country kill, each player present earns an Event. No hand limit!
- Too few cards? The killer chooses recipients. Anyone who misses out gains +1 DNA instead.
- Unused Events score +1 DNA each at game end
- No standard turn-start discard for DNA
Game End
We felt that the rules around the end of the game was a bit complex for new players and sometimes left players without much to do on their last turn. We have tried quite a lot of different things here so particularly interested to get your opinions here. Might share some other variants later as well that we are also considering.
Global Collapse replaces Sudden Death.
Once the Country draw pile is empty, you may declare Global Collapse at the start of your turn, before taking any actions - even if face-up cards remain.
If you have started the Global Collapse:
- Don't take your turn
- Gain +2 DNA per empty face-up country slot
- End the game immediately and apply final scoring
Any thoughts / questions - please share your feedback HERE.
Play the game online:
There is a free experimental prototype on Steam that you can play if you want to check out the new rules (or are just curious about the board game in general). It includes Single Player (against a basic bot) and Online Multiplayer against your friends or matchmaking via Quick Play.
It is primarily a tool for me to try things out, so you should expect bugs! (let us know and we'll fix them).
You can get a free Steam key for the game here: https://keys.ndemiccreations.com/
Once you join the Playtest, you'll also be able to invite up to three friends, and they'll get access to the Playtest too!
Note - keys are limited - we will release more over time. Also, as this is a Steam Playtest - the game will be taken down eventually.
Hope you enjoy it. Please let me know how you get on and share your honest feedback to help us make the game as good as it possibly can be. Once we start manufacturing - the rules will be locked in!

You can also join us on Discord if you want to chat about the game / find opponents. We'll be playing as well, so hopefully we'll catch a lot of you there.

Worst outbreak modifier
I thought sea sickness was the worst where evolving a trait closed a random port but evolving a trait locks a random trait is worse by far. I evolved rash and it locked sweating. Doing all the fungal spore bursts locked so many other traits I just gave up for the day.

Plague Inc. drawing i made cuz im obsessed with the fandom
This is probably inspired by one of the short i found in Tik Tok and decided to redrawn it cuz im obsessed with Plague Inc.
So, does this implies im new to this fandom? Welp yeah i am, joined this fandom like 2 months ago and i already obsessed with it.
Its unlike my other fandom like Team Fortress 2 or Forsaken, this one however catch my attention due to how actually peaceful it is. I mean, i dont even see like any NSFW work in this fandom! (Which idk if theres some or not). I gotta admit this fandom is really quiet, underrated yet really interesting for me. This game is also the reason i want to focus on science, specifically about microbes, Microorganisms and stuff like that. I even make my own OC! (Ofc, i use Neurax Worm. His name is Nax btw)
Since im new to this fandom, feel free to ask me anything, or give me any fun fact or infos about this fandom, i answer as much as i can!
Btw thats all for my first post in this subreddit. Again, feel free to ask or share infos about anything wether related to Plague Inc. or not.
Bye!

Erm… am I being too much in this subreddit?
I’m sorry, I’ve been screwing around here just to engage with internet people about something non-work related, and I thought the Toxo stuff was funny, but I’m looking at my post history and realizing it’s a lot. I can tone it down if need be.

is air burst the best gene for a meteorless xenolith run?
so i have a speedrun guide for the xenolith on mega brutal that also gets u 5 stars and works on scenarios without using meteors. because it doesnt use meteors the only gene thats worth it is air burst. but is it actually helping? or is it an active detriment?

Can anyone explain this to me? Mislabeled??
Idk what’s going on here, idk if some how they goofed up descriptions or what, but saying one thing and then doing a completely different thing is sorely misleading. Why even call it severity growth if it slows down why not call it severity stunt? Also for catalytic it says decrease cure research speed… aside from the fact that you are literally breaking one of a country’s research vials when you pop the blue bubble I have absolutely no idea it it does anything more than that. I can say that increasing catalytic switch definitely increases the amount of DNA you can possibly get when popping cure bubbles… SO WHY NOT SAY THAT THEN! Wtf?

I need help with the symptoms tree of my custom scenario
This is for a scenario I explained in a post a while ago. You can read it here ( https://www.reddit.com/r/plagueinc/comments/1wepfso/im_making_my_first_scenario_i_need_advice_related/ ), though you're going to find a different symptom tree I had planned. But for short, you're a non-lethal fungus who has to stop humanity from building two big missiles. You can win by either getting to the countries developing the missiles (you always start in Madagascar) and delaying their work enough so that a specific date comes and you win, or you can go on a rampage infecting most of population (a relatively harder thing to do with the specific stats I'll be doing) and then raising your severity so that most of people in the globe become so miserable that the world-wide collaboration for the missiles just freezes and leaves humanity with a guaranteed defeat. Either way, you have to handle the cure progress bar, and the two progress bars of the missiles
What I need help with right now is the symptoms I'm putting here. You get two starting devolved symptoms: ocular irritation and sneezing.
From ocular infection, you can go to the blue path or the yellow path. The blue path continues with insomnia, paranoia and more stuff that makes people irritable and unfocused. The yellow path continues with pharyngitis, fatigue, fever and more stuff that makes people's lives difficult and at some point almost a living nightmare. The yellow path is supposed to raise severity a lot, affecting the general population. The blue path kinda raises severity too but it slightly slows down the progress of the missiles because it's supposed to affect individual abilities, and once you evolve all of those symptoms you unlock abilities in the abilities tab to properly fight this progress, affecting more the individual abilities of those almost irreplaceable professionals working on humanity's most important project. If you read my previous post, you can pretty much interpretate this as the blue path being the previous dark red path, and the yellow path being the previous yellow path
From sneezing, you can go to the pink path or the cyan path. The pink path continues with stuff that fricks up your nose with moocus, to eventually get to your digestive system, make it produce more content and make the plague adapt and reproduce in said content. The pink path raises general infectivity and effectiveness in urban areas (effectiveness which can only be improved here). The cyan path continues with hiccup, claudication (not enough blood in muscles which makes people suffer with physical effort), and conceptually stuff that affects teamwork abilities and thus big teams of scientists working on the cure to erradicate you. And when you evolve all of the cyan path, you unlock abilities to fight off a cure progress that goes as fricked up as nanovirus'
So my issues are: 1) I don't know what three symptoms I should put to finish the cyan path 2) I don't even know if I'm following the right concepts of affecting TEAMWORK by "making muscular work harder"... 3) I don't know either if I'm following the right concepts with the blue path. Like, paranoia is meant to affect teamwork but I put it to affect individual work and thus the ones working on the missiles, but it probably should go to affect teamwork and thus the ones working on the cure. Heck I don't fricking know how these teams of scientists would actually work. My mind thought of it like "cure guys need to do a lot of things together while missile guys need to do a lot of things alone and just share it to others"
My idea was also that the blue path has symptoms affecting personal senses while the cyan path has symptoms affecting colaborative traits
What do you guys think I should do with the symptoms of the blue and cyan path, and with their respective concepts? I want this thing to make sense but I'm hell of a sucker at anything remotely related to biology in this world, and I don't know about scientists stuff either

I personally think a racist manifesto would be the most realistic, since it seems to be everywhere.

Plague Mode Idea: An AI related special plague type?
If anyone hasn't heard of the OpenAI/Huggingface incident there's a great video on it here https://youtu.be/ujkD4SxPKOI?is=UMi8GFu65T7oGA0O
This feels like it would fit perfectly as a plague type, maybe an AI infecting computers and eventually humans?
