During Setup, each player also receives: 4 additional Virus tokens, a 6th Starting Mutation (Versatile), the Hive tile, and the 4 Upgrade cards for their faction.
Place your Upgrade cards in front of you with the normal side facing up in a 2×2 grid.
Zone tiles are placed BEFORE the initial infection.
After placing the initial infections, starting with the first player and proceeding clockwise, each player will connect their Hive tile to a single organ that does not belong to zone 2 (heart) and that does not already have a Hive tile.
Place ONLY 5 Event cards instead of the normal 6 (the game lasts 5 rounds).
Hives are considered organs adjacent to a single organ, and the viruses in them are immune to cures and crisis tokens. There is no limit to the number of viruses in a Hive.
Hives do not count as part of the zone they are in. Any viruses can move in and out of the Hive to its connected organ (or be pulled/pushed in and out).
Each Upgrade virus card shows how many viruses you must discard to be allowed to flip the card to the super virus side.
