Virus!: Roll & Write

About this board game

Virus!: Roll & Write is a competitive game for 2–4 players that takes about 20 minutes. As students on placement at General Hospital, you are competing for a scholarship while investigating vaccines against four different viruses.

The hospital’s research area is exceptionally busy, and every resource matters. Your mission is to manage what is available to you and conduct clinical trials quickly enough to get ahead of the other students.

• Investigate vaccines against four different viruses.
• Manage the resources available to you.
• Conduct clinical trials with speed.
• Choose whether to collaborate or make things difficult for your competitors.
• Take care not to contaminate your samples with viruses.

Progress depends not only on your own work, but also on how you approach the competition. You may collaborate with others to advance together, or make their research more difficult as you pursue the scholarship.

That choice creates a tense balance between cooperation and rivalry. Every clinical trial brings you closer to your goal, but contamination remains a constant danger for your samples.

With its focused 20-minute play time and support for 2–4 players, Virus!: Roll & Write presents a compact challenge set in a demanding hospital research environment. Can you manage your resources, investigate the vaccines, and stay ahead without contaminating your samples?
