Thank you 4 backing Infected!!!!
Your promo pack is here.
4 new ways to infect your friends! Introducing the 4 Contagious Villager Cards, a Kickstarter Promo Pack, included free for backers of Infected.
Have you played a few games of Infected (not yet, but soon!) and found that you wanted to swing the odds back to the Plague Doctor?
You now have the option to replace 4 cards in one of the Villager decks! You can remove BOTH of a Villager’s Vaccination Cards, as well as 2 of their Safe Cards. This Villager is now CONTAGIOUS!
This Villager can no longer vaccinate fellow Villagers! This alone would be a small favor to the Plague Doctor. But to make matters worse for the rest of the village, as the game goes deeper and time passes, this Villager could be forced to infect other Villagers.
2 cards infect other Villagers immediately, and 2 additional cards infect other Villagers for the next round. These infections DO NOT affect the Plague Doctor.
Be sure to share infected on boardgamegeek.com and with your friends. Just wash your hands afterwards. With soap.
Gameplay Video and Stretch Goals!!

Hey everyone! In this Update, I'll cover some Gameplay Video and Stretch Goals...
Infected is continuing to catch on, and we continue to unlock Stretch Goals which make the game bigger and better!
Since the last update, we have improved the dice and the game box, and now we have unlocked the black core, linen finish for the cards in the game, which means they’ll last longer than the actual Bubonic Plague. With the linen finish, the cards won’t show that wear and tear like other games might. Pretty epic, and a really great Stretch Goal we now have, perfect for a game like this with lots of card handling and movement.
Next, we are moving towards unlocking new Stretch Goals, including upgrading our player marker discs into wood (showing whether each player at the table is Infected or Safe, and remaining in the game). In the future, we have another box upgrade giving more durability and thickness, as well as another highly requested Stretch Goal of sleeves for each player in the game. The sleeves will hold 10 cards and be able to more easily move the pre-game packs around the table.
ALSO:: another highly requested item:: some Infected gameplay footage, featuring yours truly! 6 of us played a few games so that you can see how quickly it goes. I got to be the Plague Doctor twice, and got within one guess and one die roll of winning both!! I also feel like the Turn Marker was against me in one of those games! (A different location of the turn marker at the time of who declared “Infected” first would have helped me)!
-- Also, it’s worth mentioning again that the card backs you see are just prototypes and not the final copy of the game that you’ll have! ;) Your cards will have some amazing art on them!
Anyway, Infected is still rocking and we are making it into a beautiful game – something that you can regularly play with lots of friends. It was made to be played quickly, easy to teach, and easy to play, but something with a lot of intrigue and depth of strategy, as well as deduction and people reading. The more you play, the more you can see different ways to help your side win.
Looking forward to our next Stretch Goal!

Smashing Stretch Goals and 1,000% funded!

Hey everyone! Infected is crashing through Stretch Goals like the Bubonic Plague through Europe!
We continue to unlock Stretch Goals at a rapid pace. Here is a look at everything we've unlocked which will be added to the game so far:
We've unlocked all of these so far...
We’ve also reached another fantastic milestone of being 1,000% funded! It’s all due to you -the community here at Kickstarter. People have made suggestions, and we’ve implemented them and will continue to do so! It’s pretty amazing that people have shared this game with their friends. (Are you trying to get them to play the game, or actually infect them)?!
The podcast interview regarding INFECTED with Sweet Kicks with Bricks is live now. It was a really fun interview, and I really appreciate Barry having me on his show. You can grab it anytime with a smartphone or listen online here:
We still have a lot to look forward to during the campaign. I'm looking forward to getting this game to the table. And the Plague Doctor reminds you:

1,000 Backers and another Stretch Goal!

Hey everyone!
Lots of great things are happening for Infected!
1. We just hit 1,000 backers! That’s an amazing milestone, and something that can be celebrated. Tons of people are becoming Infected. Let’s just hope none with the actual Bubonic Plague.
2. I’ll be recording an interview with the Sweet Kicks with Bricks game podcast on Monday. Not sure when it will air yet, but I’ll keep you posted!
3. We’ve been rushing through Stretch Goals really fast - about as fast as the Plague hit everyone in the year 1347, which brings me to our NEXT Stretch Goal! In honor of that date in history, the next SG will be unlocked at $25,347.
Our next Stretch Goal is awesome because it helps everyone.
Players will each have a marker on the table in front of them to let others know whether they are Safe or Infected.
If you’ve ever played with someone who forgets who is Infected or not, this will help keep things organized and remind others so they don’t ask again and again who is Infected or not.
Individual markers for each player
These simple little discs show the Infected icon one side, and the Safe icon on the other. After a player has declared themselves “Infected”, they can simply turn their disc to the Infected side and get ready for the next game, which will be starting in just a couple of minutes.
It’s really an elegant solution to something that makes the game more streamlined, and keeps the game moving a bit faster so that you can get more games played in the same amount of time!
This is also really amazing because it was a suggestion from the Kickstarter community. We’ve already researched it and talked with the manufacturer, and here we are. So thank you!
Next, if anyone is great at creating Backer Avatars, please let me know. I have some in mind, but I'm sure you can come up with something fantastic. - Looking forward to seeing what else we can do!
