Viking Squad is a lane-based brawler where you and your friends fight your way out from under the maniacal rule of the village Jarl.

 

Along the way you will encounter strange new foes, gather powerful weapons and liberate strange new gods in an ever-expanding pantheon of plunder!

 

Each play session consists of a new run through a procedurally generated game world. Players are given a command to take all the treasures of neighbouring civilizations. Upon sailing to each location players fight the locals for their wealth. Players control one of 4 different Vikings, each with their own move set and personality. The Vikings and their trusty longship can be equipped with items along their journey, drastically affecting their voyage.

In Infection: Humanity's Last Gasp, by designer John Gibson, you are the director of the Department of Plague Control (DPC) field office in New York City. You make the decisions about what parts of the virus to study, which personnel to hire, and what equipment to purchase. You'll soon discover you are working with an eccentric group of scientists who don't always work well together—and one very resourceful lab rat named Marvin. As the casualties increase, so does the stress and mistakes made, as you try to complete your vaccine before time runs out for all of mankind!

 

This strategy game uses simple mechanics in a multitude of combinations to create engaging, deep gameplay as you try to eliminate an evolving virus that could spell the end of the human race. While random events from the Status Report cards might throw a wrench in your plans (or occasionally help you out), you'll use the Lab Personnel and Equipment cards you've hired to piece together randomly generated proteins into the different parts of a vaccine, all while managing dwindling funding resources as the Death Toll Track climbs. Each time that your Containment roll fails you come one step closer to losing this battle, so make sure that you push everyone to their limits before the infection reaches critical levels.
