Virulence is a blind bidding game where players take on the roles of viruses, competing to infect a host cell. Players use their bidding hands to win (replicate) viral components cards in order to either score points, or to build the strength of their virus (their bidding hand) increasing their odds of winning critical bids later in the game.
Every turn, new cards are revealed that either score players points or improve their bidding hand, making them a stronger virus. Each player plays a secret bidding card from their hand, then all players reveal their bid!
Players choose cards in order of the highest bidder. Collect sets of viral components, avoid powerful vaccines, and win end-game majorities to score the most points!
As you deplete your bidding hand, use your refresh card to get back all your bidding cards. You can even bid on higher bidding cards that will make your hand stronger for the future!
