   Everything came well packaged and quickly. If I had one complaint its that there is way too many plastic pouches to put the game pieces in. You only need 4 not 8 it’s a bit much and a waste. Other then that love it and recommend it! It’s going to be in our top played games for a while.

   Arrived in perfect condition.

   Even with 4 people who were learning as we played the entire game took less than a hour.

   The board looks a little cluttered at first but after one round everything makes perfect sense.

   Not for beginners, but easy once you have played it a few times.

   It’s a fun, streamlined area control game you can play in 60-90 minutes. The rules are clear and all the steps of play are right on the side of board. Many parts of the game are randomized each game, keeping it fresh. There’s plenty of strategy to be had and I love the theme of viruses bouncing around the different organ systems.

   Viral is a very fun and unique area control game. You control viruses that spread around “Bob’s” organs trying to take control of the different systems. Your turn consists on playing cards that let you do different actions such as infecting an organ, moving from one organ to another, etc. The game also uses event cards that may alter the scoring conditions of each round. These definitely helps to add variety to every game. The artwork is very cartoony and reminds me of Monsters Inc. from Disney. Definiteley makes for a more fun game. Unfortunately this game has some disappointing component quality. Is the only reason Im giving it 4 stars. Most specifically on the board itself. The board I received had air bubbles, scratches and splotches of what seems to be glue. Is like they package the game without letting the glue and ink dry. These type of problems seems to be common. A friend’s copy had similar issues and some unboxing videos on youtube have reported issues with the components.

   Great component quality and fun mechanics. This area control game has some aspects that makes it feel fresh. The way you handle your action cards and the fact that you shouldn’t become to dominant or you’ll regret it, make it a great experience for my gaming group.

   Fantastic game that all who play it leave smiling and thinking about their next playthrough.

   Great balance with random scoring strategies, random game events, random deck hand improvements increase replayability.
   Area control game that allows you to see upcoming game changes and to readjust your play decisions based on other player movements in between and after each round.

   6 rounds per game can streamline game time once everyone knows how to play the board has icons which guide you all the way through each step. Beautiful art and components always made every passersby to stop and check out our games.

   Love the artwork. If you play with younger (reading) children, as long as long as you have them play alongside you for the first couple of plays, they can grasp it quickly and this can serve a wider and younger audience. Very fun.

   Viral, despite the art work, is actually a solid, somewhat mean, area control with an excellent theme!

   It even has a very clever mechanic-that maybe unique for an area control game-where if you (as the viruses) get too successful in infecting one or more organs in the body of the poor patient, the body flushes out all the viruses in that particular organ, or organs! This means that the players doing the best have to be prepared to RESART FROM SCRATCH. That is very unusual for an area control, and may annoy some players. For me, for me it makes for a whole new layer of strategy and planning. As you have to judge scoring opportunities with getting wiped out. Timing is everything! It’s really interesting.

    Very fun game, although if you fall behind it can be impossible to catch up. The concept is fun, it can take a little while to figure out how it works, but once you get going, it all makes sense. Cute, fun for any age, nice little party game.

    This game is great. It’s fairly simple but it also has a decent amount of strategy. Games are typically very close. I haven’t played a game yet where the winner has been more than a few points in the lead. This is a good “gateway” game for people who are just getting into modern board games.

    I am sure this game is easier than I think it is and I’m just over complicating it, but I found it a bit difficult to understand exactly what to do and when to do it. I had to look up tutorials, but all in all it’s a pretty fun game once you get it. I love the board and the viruses.

    Excelente. Único detalle es que el tablero estaba como mal pegado en una esquina, pero es jugable y no afecta el juego solo un poco la estética
