Viral strategy title Pathogen launches for iOS Nov. 7

Pathogen, a board game-inspired strategy title from Birnam Wood Games, will launch for iOS Nov. 7, the developer announced.

According to the announcement, the game was inspired by "the way in which a virus spreads through the human body." In Pathogen, players compete against AI or human opponents to upgrade and place viruses on a game map. The goal is to control more territory than the opposing player.
