Pest

Pest

Our once-great empire was struck by a devastating epidemic… will you answer the call to save it?

Once they stood tall and proud, now we must rediscover and rebuild our fallen cities. There are still survivors among the ruins – we must take them in and heal them. To stay ahead of the plague, we must implement new inventions and technologies. Our influence will expand as we rebuild, but the plague will still lurk in the shadows, ready to strike when we least expect it. When it does, it will be difficult to adapt, but we will survive. Besides supplying important resources, our urgent need will be to bring the plague under control.

In Pest, players take on the roles of the leaders of the ruling houses of a once-great empire that was struck by a cataclysmic epidemic. The plague left much of the empire in ruins, so it is now up to the players to restore it to its former glory.

Pest is played over 6 rounds. In each round, before players take their turns, a plague card is revealed showing how the plague will spread that round. On their turn, players will be able to choose from many actions on their player board using a unique action selection system. This way, players can move their containment team on the board, quarantine and heal infected people, rebuild, assign workers, gather resources and much more.

As their house's influence increases, players will be able to play more actions, produce more resources and host more people. This will bring new technological developments that are necessary to bring the plague under control.
The game ends after the 6th round is completed and the players count their final total of Renown (victory points). The player with the highest Renown is the winner and is proclaimed the savior of the empire!
