In case you missed it - there has been a devastating plague rampaging through kickstarter in the form of Plague Inc: The Board Game - now over 630% funded!

Plague Inc: The Board Game is a strategic game of Infection, Evolution and Extinction for 1-5 players. I've been working on it for almost 2 years and it is available on Kickstarter for a few more days. Backers get a first edition version of the game at a discounted price as well as a load of stretch goals and kickstarter exclusive content.

If you like Plague Inc. or board games in general - check the game out here and help us infect the world!

The Random Name Generator mutation
Separately, we just released a medium sized update for Plague Inc: Evolved which adds a random name generator to the game. With the help of our custom built PlagueBot, you will be able to flick through tens of thousands of potentially (but not guaranteed!) witty, dramatic, weird and wonderful names for your precious disease. It also contains a few fixes for benign mimic in multiplayer and some other bits.

Full change log below:

• New! Random Name Generator (press the button in 'name your plague' screen)
  
• Fixed: Benign Mimic being applied on dead countries
  
• Fixed: Cure number display in Vs mode on top bar
  
• Fixed: Naming bug if go from custom game to tutorial and quit and restart
  
• Fixed: Simian Country issue (list ordering & brief flash of text)
