Infection Express (2009)

About this game

Infection Express is a compact, 1-2 player dice game inspired by Pandemic. Using 5 dice instead of the many cards of the original game, it is much quicker to play, whilst maintaining the tension. All that's needed to play are 5 6-sided dice, 56 4-6mm cubes (14 each of 4 colours), 2 player pawn and a print out of the game pdf. The pdf can be downloaded from the files section below. If you like this game it's easy to create your own maps with up to 24 cities.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
