The Pathogen is a strategic board game that takes its inspiration from biology. You and your opponent take turns placing new cells on the board or upgrading your existing ones. Watch as your moves send ripples across the sea of cells. Potentially wiping out many of your opponent’s forces in one motion. However, they can always employ the dreaded virus to gain the upper hand. The rules in Pathogen take some getting used to. But keeping your eyes on the game board as your opponent places their cell helps you keep track. If you play on your own, Artificial Intelligence will probably school you a few times before you catch on.
