Covid

Covid is a funny, strategic card game about our struggle to self-isolate. It's a game everyone should have at home as a laughable reminder of the craziness that went on in the Covid era.

There are two ways to win, either become immune by collecting Vaccine tokens or eliminate other players by giving Infection tokens.

There are 108 cards containing stories and pictures of the strange things that people have done during the pandemic.

On your turn, you read your card aloud, choose who you will play it on and assign the token(s) in accordance to what the card instructs.

Infection cards usually have stories of the unbelievable and sometimes stupid things people have done, like cutting holes in masks to breathe better, or suggesting we inject disinfectant to control the spread. They are played on other players to give Infection tokens.

Vaccine cards have stories of the more heroic or mundane things that we have had to do, but have all done them anyway, like having a wine tour in your house or doing YouTube workouts to curb the iso-snacks. They are played on yourself to gain Vaccine tokens.

Strategic cards are used to block Infections by wearing a mask or social distancing, or they can be used to create havoc by forcing opponents to only use specific cards.

Then there is Bat Soup, the card that started it all. Bat Soup gives an Infection that keeps spreading each round until someone, anyone removes it with a Vaccine card.

The required amount of tokens to eliminate a player with Infection tokens or win outright with Vaccine tokens is always equal to the amount of active players.

Five players requires five tokens, four = four, etc. If a player is eliminated the required tokens is now one less. This can result in a domino effect and remove all your opponents at once or even accidentally take yourself out!
