EVOLU
(EXPANSION PACK)
THE VIRUSES HAVE EVOLVED!
Just as the doctors' efforts begin to bear fruit, things get complicated.
The strains stored in the laboratory for further study reveal the viruses have mutated
and are much more resistant and aggressive.
Traditional medicines are useless against them.
Although our scientists work to create new effective measures, time is running out
as new evolved viruses begin to spread uncontrollably, sowing panic in the
laboratory.
Your new task is to control the current pandemic and prevent evolved viruses from
reaching the general population.
Try to keep the viruses at bay by quarantining them to prevent their spread, but watch
out for your rivals who will not make things easy for you and will do everything
possible to sabotage your work and get all the glory.

SETUP
Combine the VIRUS! 2 cards with the original VIRUS! deck and shuffle them all.

MECHANICS AND GAME’S OBJECTIVE
VIRUS! 2 follows the basic rules of Virus! Gather 4 healthy organs in your body
to win.
VIRUS! 2 includes a few cards that modify the game. Below you will find a
description of their use.

TYPES OF CARDS
ORGANS
Your body can not have two of the same type of organ at any time.
BIONIC ORGAN
It cannot be infected by any type of virus, basic or evolved, nor can you
play any medicine on this organ. However, it may be affected by some
treatments.
This organ counts as an extra organ of a new colour (grey) to form
your body.
Note: You can have up to
6 different organs in your
body and you’ll win if 4
of them are healthy. INFECTED
HEALTHY ORGANS
ORGANS

EVOLVED VIRUSES
These new viruses are so resistant that basic medicines are useless
against them: you need an experimental medicine to eliminate them. You can
also use treatments to get rid of them.
The evolved viruses only have an effect on organs and medicines of the same
colour.
INFECT
Place an evolved virus card on a free organ of the same colour
to infect it. The infected organs are not considered healthy,
therefore you cannot use them to complete a body.
REMOVE
Destroy an infected organ. Place a second virus on an infected
organ: that organ is destroyed and all three cards must be
placed on the discard pile.
You can extirpate an organ by playing an evolved virus on top of
a basic one (a) or vice versa (b). You can do it also by using two
evolved viruses (c).

(a) (b) (c)

NEUTRALISE
Destroy a vaccine. Use an evolved virus to eliminate a basic
medicine of the same colour that is placed on an organ. Both the
virus and the vaccine cards are then placed on the discard pile.
 EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINES
Experimental medicines allow you to protect your body against basic and
evolved viruses. Use the experimental medicine cards only on viruses or organs of
the same colour.
CURE
Destroy a basic or evolved virus. Use an experimental medicine
card to discard a basic (a) or evolved (b) virus of the same colour
that is placed on an organ. Both cards are then placed on the
discard pile.

(a) (b)

IMMUNISE
Place an experimental medicine on a vaccinated organ to
immunize it. It will be protected forever against the attacks of
any virus and it cannot be destroyed. Tap the two medicine cards
on top of the organ to indicate that it is now immune.

SUPER IMMUNISE
Place an experimental medicine turned on a free organ to
immunise it automatically.

TREATMENTS
These cards are played into the discard pile and have an immediate effect.
OVERTIME
Play the other two cards from your hand. Draw a hand of 3 cards at
the end of your turn.

SECOND OPINION
Swap your hand with another player. Then, you may play one of the
received cards, but you cannot discard them. The other player will
start their next turn with the number of cards you handed them.

HAZMAT SUIT
Play this card during another player’s turn.
Avoid the effect of any card played against you. Instead, your
opponent must choose a different player to play the card on,
including themselves. If they cannot find a valid target, they will
discard with no effect.
You cannot respond to one "Hazmat Suit" with another.
Example: If you try to play a virus against an opponent and they
respond with a "Hazmat suit", look for a new player to infect. If you
are the only one that has this organ, you must play it against your
own body and you cannot avoid it by using another "Hazmat Suit".
Do not draw after playing this card; you will start your next turn with
one less card in hand.
If the card affects all players, it will affect all the others, except you.
Example: If you use "Hazmat Suit" to get rid of "Latex Glove",
you will not have to discard your hand like the other players.
On your turn play one of your two remaining cards.

QUARANTINE
Remove a virus card from the game.
Get rid of a virus by isolating it in quarantine. Discard a virus card,
basic or evolved, from one of your body’s organs into the box (or
Quarantine Zone).
The removed virus will remain out of play for the rest of the game.
Don't forget to put the cards back afterwards for your next game!

MULTICOLOURED CARDS
VIRUS! 2 also includes new multicoloured cards. Remember these types of
cards are considered wild cards; they always represent all 4 colours and do not
replace any other card.
The multicoloured organ does not replace a specific organ and
will be considered an additional organ that can be used to
complete a body and win.
Nevertheless, as it has 4 colours, it can be immunized with two
different medicines and removed with two different viruses,
basic or evolved.

A multicoloured evolved virus, like the basic one, can affect any
organ or medicine, and it can only be cured with an experimental
medicine of any colour.

Multicoloured experimental medicines can immunise any

organ and cure a virus of any colour, but they cannot be
destroyed by any kind of virus.

OTHER GAME MODES

OUTBREAK MODE
To speed up your 6-player games, every time you use an experimental medicine
to cure a virus (basic or evolved), discard it from play for the rest of the game.
Keep that card inside the box (quarantine zone) until the end of the game.

DUEL MODE
If you want your 2-player games to be tighter, you can play to gather 5 healthy
organs in your body.
