Operating Instructions (How to Play)

Virus 2 is an expansion for the original Virus board game. The core gameplay mechanics remain the same as Virus 1, with the added elements from this expansion. The objective is to be the first player to successfully complete a healthy body with four different organs.

New Cards and Effects:

• Virus Cards: These new virus cards introduce additional ways to infect opponents' organs or destroy healthy organs.
• Action Cards: New action cards provide unique abilities, such as swapping organs, stealing organs, or immunizing against specific viruses. Refer to the specific text on each card for its effect.

Gameplay Flow:

1. Players take turns drawing cards and playing cards from their hand.
2. Cards can be played to build a healthy body (organs), infect opponents' organs (viruses), or use special actions (action cards).
3. The new Virus 2 cards integrate into these phases, offering more strategic choices and interactions.
4. The game ends when a player successfully assembles a healthy body with four different organs.
