The game mechanism for this is based on how you use the cards you randomly draw either to infect cities or mutate yourself into a more powerful virus
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Mutation is when the playerviruses distinguish themselves from eachother by choosing to increase one of three statistics in order to be more deadly incubation infection and resistance

The game tends to play quickly roughly 2030 minutes ending after a given number of eventwho cards are revealed usually 12 rounds or only two cities remain
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
As the game mechanics use only basic math adding and subtracting and color matching the cards players draw are based on one of six continents and can be differentiated by color or continent icon best mechanism for those with color blindness it can be played by schoolage children just as long as they are old enough to know not to eat the small game pieces
