Finally, you’ll be looking to wipe countries out. Once all the city spots are full, any player who controls that country rolls the Death Die, rolling equal to, or lower than your Lethality score – so if you are prone to roll ones a lot of the time, you will do very, very well playing Plague Inc. Remember I promised you player interaction, it is here that it really comes in.

Once a player is in control of a fully infected country, they must try to kill it once and for all by rolling the 6-sided Death Die. If the number rolled is less than or equal to their lethality rate, the country is killed. There are both advantages and disadvantages to killing off countries, so plan wisely… So aside from the relatively minor additions, Armageddon offers little more than a few extra pathogens. Some might say that the original base game is good enough to suffice. Anything more is just “gilding the lily”. Any gamer who has just the base game will probably be more than happy with what they have. The Armageddon expansion does add a few new suggestions and rule tweaks that are optional.In single-player mode, the player play against the "PlagueBot". To start, player should flip the Card Mat over and the mat become PlagueBot slide, your opponent. While the cards that normally be put on the Card Mat should be put on the table next to the board instead.

Plague Inc: Armageddon is the first major expansion for Plague Inc: The Board Game. Armageddon adds all kinds of new ways to enjoy the game, including new diseases, game-changing genes, Brexit, space for an extra player, and a whole lot more. Each player is deadly disease competing against the other plagues. Players may choose between 2 disease types, which is Bacteria or Virus. The goal is to get as many DNA Points as possible, while trying to eradicate the humanity. The player with the most DNA Points at the end of the game wins. Event cards let players do special actions and then discard the card. The text on each Event card describes the action as well as when it may be used. Players just can’t use an Event card on the turn they acquire it and can never hold more than 3 in hand. The Event cards add a bunch of fun twists.

As a fan of the mobile game, I’m really excited to see where the board game goes and how it develops with expansions, not that they are needed but they are ripe for design. As much as this game is a little morbid, it is sometimes a lot of fun being the “bad guy.” During this phase, the player places more of their plague cubes in cities on the board. The number a player must place is equal to their Infectivity rate (from their starting mat and Traits added).
