After 6 years of owning this game, we FINALLY took it out to play and it is FANTASTIC!!! We are taking it to the next game night as well. Very well done!
This is probably the best "How to Play" tabletop video I have ever seen. Normally I look these up and skip through for details, but I watched the whole thing because it was super clear. I guess being the creator helps :D
I know but the democratic peoples republic of korea has been named as best korea by the democratic peoples republic of korea magazine for the 5th year in a row so you guys really need to step up your game
This game is ingenious. The way you turned a computer game into a board game so faithfully is phenomenal. The only thing I can point out is there's no aspect of you fighting against humanity's cure efforts. Maybe could be done as an expansion though.
>Plague Inc. becomes a board game >Both players play as plagues >The plagues are competing to see which can infect the most >There's no cure Humanity: *chuckle* I'm in danger.
It seems like humanity just rolls over and dies... In the video game versions in the tutorial readout (not the tutorial gameplay guide where you play the game with tons of annoying popups and forces you to start in China) says that humanity doesn't just roll over and die! So, really, from my best understanding, the only way to lose before the game ends, is to kill all your hosts.
@@BogyYanks An expansion isn't out of the picture, idk if ndemic would do an expansion especially for what would be such a big mechanic, but it's possible, would definitely bring in a whole new interesting piece to the game
The country discarding may get out of hand i think. There should be a limit for that if or are the country cards much more than the spaces on the board?
TheMortal Gamer105 I don't think there is a cure being done. There might be event cards that say for example *medecine is cheaper in a certain country* which then knock off some tokens but idk
KALIMANVAGO Because 'control' doesn't require every city in a country to be infected. So for example if a country has five cities, a 'tie' for control exists if two cities are infected by each player, with the fifth city being uninflected.
Waat i thought beating the virus on normal mode is already ez for me bc of the mutations ;-; Edit: but the fungus is rlly hard for me cant even beat it on normal
I would love to get this but sadlly i can't buy it... me and my friends would've play it and having a boardgame like that would be my pleasurable honor since my friends know me as the dark humored person in our group
@Ndemic Creations would be nice if you create a forum or fb page, in which players from different countries can take a look and contact other players from the same country, thus they can gather together and play the game. went to your forum but it has no thread like that. Anyone in FINLAND (helsinki or close)?
I wish there was a cure that worked like when a player places a symptom the cure starts to happen but only to them and each round the cure goes up by how much country's are on the board so each country increases the rate of cure by 0.05 and rich country's increase it by 0.1 and poor country's 0.02(but only the alive country's)
16:20 the die is stupid. At least roll 3 dice if you must and pick among the 3. 18:20 you can get bad event cards that you cannot use. You can mitigate that by drafting 2 at the very least. pass the one you don't like to your opponent while he does the same. You get the idea. OK the core game mechanic seems acceptable, but acc to bgg reviews the game is too luck based. It seems so in this playthrough. To mitigate that, I can think of pre ordering the country cards, as in smaller countries in first batch, biggest countries in last batch. Also a card track a la suburbia (or TTA) would be beneficial. so pick first country for free, pick a desired other for #points. Any ideas?

Do you know what's also genius? If there's a tie at the end of the game, the first player to fall and act dead wins.
Dark5595
what do you mean act
@@thatoneguy9582 If you have the game and have read the rules, you'll see that if the game if a tie the first player to pretend to be dead wins.

Dominic Corradi you don't wanna know the names I've called Greenland when playing the mobile phone and console versions of this game.
goddamn greenland. it was so annoying that they made it there was a chance for it to be infected by russia

try before you buy. Or at least think it through.
I’m hyped to get this on my trash computer
Me: Doc, i dont feel so good
Doctor: Tell me how

Doctor: You want to know who beat you, it was ME

now you'd wish you don't so you can't experience the game

Just received this in the post today! SO EXCITED!!
It's only small. But one day, it will become the *Ultimate Board Games Scenario*
Backed this game, hyped for my copy to arrive
WorldSuperMedia 750 do you know if i can still get the 62$ bundle
So this is how the Corona virus practices new techniques
"Death Dice"
...certain people pronounce dice as "die"
hmm
Ironic
Someone played this and made the Coronavirus.
Those cubes makes me feel like they are food, and they make me hungry
So this game is basically Plague Inc: Evolved multiplayer in a nutshell then?
Got this game for Christmas, looks like a hard game to learn.
I literally thought "what if there was a Plague Inc. Board game" the day before it was released
Create a board game scenario in a video game and sells it irl: st🅾️nks 100
You did a really good job with this can't wait to get it
>Plague Inc. becomes a board game
>Both players play as plagues
>The plagues are competing to see which can infect the most
>There's no cure
Humanity: *chuckle* I'm in danger.
ive been playing this game for 5 or so years on and off and this is the first time ive heard of it
one question, theres no cure in the game?
It seems like humanity just rolls over and dies...
In the video game versions in the tutorial readout (not the tutorial gameplay guide where you play the game with tons of annoying popups and forces you to start in China) says that humanity doesn't just roll over and die! So,
really, from my best understanding, the only way to lose before the game ends, is to kill all your hosts.
It’s more of a strategic game involving with other players instead of the AI
It be interesting if one player was a cure
@@BogyYanks An expansion isn't out of the picture, idk if ndemic would do an expansion especially for what would be such a big mechanic, but it's possible, would definitely bring in a whole new interesting piece to the game
power bender 3 There is no cure because your competing with other players for countries

Lol thank you for this thorough explanation.

Uno: UNO REVERSE!
The airplane bombing card is basically the exact equivalent of the +4 card of UNO
looks great, but holy shit, dlc for a board game
(yes i know it means downloadable content but you get the idea)
It's because they added more to it which means it takes more to make it. You only need it if you are planning on playing with 5 people.
A lot of board games get expansions if they’re popular.
@@cooldude896095 besides there are also the special diseases like ape flu (aka apes together strong) and neurax worm
@@thebaku818 Damn did they come out with the necromancy dlc now?
But I live in San Antonio Texas and I couldn’t find it or there is a specific place and the corona time

GJ!

Yes! I've been playing on iOS for years! I can't wait for the board game :) I backed the Kickstarter yesterday!
I donated more than 60 bucks so I could get the metallic and gold box lmao and steam card...
@@sidewalkpolice2567 cool
i like how you refer Greenland as the "Crowd Favorite"
also, is Saudi Arabia still the greatest place to start?
@@RenShinomiya121 no, Greenland is because they don't have an airport
Umm, 2020 anyone, why is this in my recommended???
Corona is coming
Yes indeed corona is coming wash ur handssssssz
because we gon die
I am so exited for this game but only 1 thing, wat about the cure? Or goverment actions? But anyway stoked for the game
TheMortal Gamer105 I don't think there is a cure being done. There might be event cards that say for example *medecine is cheaper in a certain country* which then knock off some tokens but idk
4:47 how is it a tie if the token spots are uneven?
KALIMANVAGO Because 'control' doesn't require every city in a country to be infected. So for example if a country has five cities, a 'tie' for control exists if two cities are infected by each player, with the fifth city being uninflected.

17:25 Did you make greenland that inaccessible on purpose?
When might the board game be available to buy? I checked amazon and it says currently unavailable.
How awesome would it be if they made an expansion pack where a player gets to be the cure?
James I love your special necroa virus it's really cool
Is this a how to play video and is it out in store
Can't find this board game atm, presumably in demand given the current outbreak.
*How To Play Videos*
Record and publish a series of tutorial videos. Slightly increases hype.

Why can't you make an instructions list so everybody remembers the rules and instructions
This seems like a really fun board game!
Bought it on Ebay yesterday real awesome
Holy frick you actually did this, woah

You should make Gene's free to use since you give them out free
can you show how the single player works? I don't understand phase 3
Thanks for the explanation video. Backed :)
If there were any stores nearby with this board game, I would so buy it. Too bad I don't have any gamer friends that would want to play with me. :(
you can make a version for mobile and pc
Is it possible to download a PDF version of the rulebook ?
I wish there was a cure that worked like when a player places a symptom the cure starts to happen but only to them and each round the cure goes up by how much country's are on the board so each country increases the rate of cure by 0.05 and rich country's increase it by 0.1 and poor country's 0.02(but only the alive country's)
playing it for the first time once i get home
I'm so excited for this game, does anyone know when it will be in shops or on Amazon?
That sounds AAWESOME!
definitely gonna buy the game
I just found out about another game that is this ones polar opposite called pandemic. It is interesting what you can find.
Very convenient recommendation UA-cam, just as I'm about to get Coronavirus
Will there be collector's edition Plague Inc?
