So far Plague Inc: Armageddon has been backed by over 3,000 people, raising a whopping 891% of our original funding goal! Along the way, thanks to all the support, we’ve been able to upgrade the game with loads of new Country and Event cards like Walled Off Mexico, the News Black Out event card as well as 12 new recessive genes and more.
Here's a look at the Kickstarter special - Repeat Infection pack that backers can experiment with in the new expansion :) Warning - they too powerful to include in the retail version and shouldn't be used in serious games!
Warning! The Kickstarter exclusive Repeat Infection pack contains these Extreme Event Cards!
And here are the very cute Secure Pathogen Storage Containers included with the Enthusiast pledge and higher - perfect for keeping your Plague Tokens happy :)
Can also be used to store real life diseases if you have deplorably low safety standards...
If you haven’t backed Plague Inc: Armageddon yet, there’s still time to guarantee yourself a copy! The campaign is running for just a couple more days, so head here now for your last chance to back it: www.plagueinc.com/armageddon
Stay healthy,

Plague Inc: Armageddon lets you infect the world with two radically different disease types, use powerful game-changing genes, deal with Brexit Britain, play with an extra player and a whole lot more.
Get ready to laugh as global vaccination rates drop, cry as your friend evolves a particularly lethal strain of athlete's foot and cheer as your bioweapon devastates entire continents in a single turn.
Armageddon is coming...

In even more exciting news...
We’ve been working hard on the first major expansion to the game, and we’re very nearly ready to show you what we’ve come up with. We’re planning to launch a new kickstarter campaign for it next week. Keep your eyes peeled!
In the meantime, if you’d like to playtest the new expansion - then sign up here as we will be starting public tests soon! https://forms.gle/jvU5SShhWCg5cPkx9

More insights from Plague Inc: The Board Game - Manufacturing

Hello everyone - hope you are all staying healthy!
Things are going really well with Plague Inc: The Board Game - we’ve sold thousands of units over the last few weeks (our second production run just sold out!) and lots of people will be playing it over Christmas.
If you are thinking about making/manufacturing your own board game at some point - you might find it useful. Or you might just want a bit of insight into just how a board game gets made (and what misadventures can occur on the way)!
For now, though, I’ll leave you with this model Neurax Worm on our Christmas tree in the office :)
Stay healthy!

P.S. If you haven’t already, please do consider rating the game over at Board Game Geek. Online reviews are incredibly important for the long term success of the game especially with regards to future expansion packs (and I’ve got some great ideas for these!).
