«Epidemy: The Outbreak» is:
* a game about fighting an epidemic in the modern world
* a semi-boardgame with unique open multiplier mechanics. As a rule, you know or can calculate all the parameters of the epidemic (but usually only an understanding of the game situation is enough for winning).
* 27 cards of various methods. Methods are the main ways to fight the epidemic. This can be quarantines, mask regime, investment in research, tax increases, even propaganda and distorting of statistics.
* 4 infections: bubonic plague, smallpox, swine influenza and, of course, covid-19 + a mode in which you do not know anything about the parameters of the spread of the epidemic
* 7 game modes: common and 6 special. For example, in one mode you will have to monitor the epidemic in the capital very carefully so that the capital does not revolt.
* 13 countries, including US, Russia and Germany. Countries in the game are composed of regions represented by hexes.
* 364 different combinations of country, mode and infection! + many options for winning. You will definitely not get bored!
* progress: earn gold and foreign exchange reserves and reputation stars to unlock new countries or methods. You receive daily rewards and awards for the games you play.
* epidemiological app design and atmospheric soundtrack
* interactive options: build charts for a country or a specific region according to the parameters you are interested in (there are 8 types of charts)
* meticulously described and detailed rules: 12 sections of rules + 6 supplements + tutorial presentation!
Duration of one party = 15-30 minutes.
Pros of Epidemic versus board games:
- 0 min. for preparation and 0 min. for folding. Just open the application or close it. And the game will be saved.
- no need to constantly think about following the rules: the game does everything for you
- no need to play out brain-boiling effects for a long time: make your dreams come true, simply by pressing the appropriate buttons!
- 20 minutes, not 3 hours to immerse yourself in the world of the game
- the game takes 0 cm3, weighs 0 kg and is always with you on your phone
- 0 dollars for many hours of play
- you only need a phone/tablet to play. You don't even need the Internet for gaming!
Pros of "Epidemy" compared to other mobile games:
- application is compact (relatively): 150 mb.
- really little advertising, it only gives you a break during an epidemic
- no-ads days: the third Sunday of the month and every Monday
- few bugs (however, it can be not true, lol), but 3 viruses :)
- no gagging sounds and cartoon-like pictures (except for the icon with red virus), the style of the game is holistic
- not a shooter, not an arcade or a race: the key to success is not reaction, but careful planning
- not a zombie apocalypse: there will be no way back from the other world.
- there are no contingencies: it all depends on your actions
- scientific accuracy is combined with a simple model of the infection spread
Epidemic Crash Course:
0) Definition: V not for vendetta but for virus.
0) Axiom: VIP (Virus is poison) => the virus is really better to be expelled from the state.
1) Fear not a virus or bacteria, but the reaction of the population
2) The sooner you apply the methods, the sooner you win.
3) A strong economy will help beat the virus.
4) Money can be made even out of thin air, i.e. print them or take them away from the population through taxation.
5) One virus hates summer, another vurus likes it.
6) Separate the virus and the person with a mask, distance or antibodies.
7) Hard in training, hard in battle! The "Epidemic" path is available only to a select few.
Did you complete the training easily? Then start the game and show what you are capable of!
