About the game

What is Covidbuster

Covidbuster – A simulation about comprehensive Crisis Management of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Austria

Covidbuster is a cooperative serious board game for 1-4 players and was also designed for educational gaming by professionals. In the classroom Covidbuster is best suited for four player teams with 4 participants each and one gamemaster.

The game is based on AFTERSHOCK: A Humanitarian Crisis Game, and so those familiar with that game will recognize many of the mechanics. It is also inspired by core mechanics of virus spread used in the successful Pandemic game series.

Covidbuster has been developed 2020/2021 under real life restrictions caused by Covid-19 involving various professionals from public authorities and science. The project itself started as cooperation between the Austrian Military Academy and the game design label Tablewood Studios.
