Infection is an abstract strategy board game played on a 7x7 grid. Designed for quick sessions with deep tactical depth, it offers a pure competitive experience with simple rules. **Core Gameplay Features** - **Basic Rules**: Players take turns placing pieces of their color (Red or Blue) on the board. Aligning four of your pieces in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) infects all opponent pieces in that line, converting them to your color. - **Victory Condition**: The game ends when one player controls the majority of the board (25 or more spaces). - **Strategic Depth**: Beyond simple alignment, the infection mechanic creates dynamic turn value. Balancing aggression, defense, and board control is key to victory. **Target Audience** - Casual players looking for quick, satisfying matches - Gamers seeking local multiplayer experiences with friends or family - Fans of simple-yet-deep abstract strategy games - Those wanting to play from the couch with full controller support **Practical Notes** - The game interface and rules are in English only. The minimalistic design makes it accessible even for non-native speakers. - There is no dedicated Japanese store page; purchase is through the global English Steam page. - Features full controller support and shared/split-screen PvP, perfect for couch play. - Includes Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud save support. - Priced at an accessible $5.99, making it an easy addition to any library.
