Four diseases have broken out in the world and it is up to a team of specialists in various fields to find cures for these diseases before mankind is wiped out.
Players must work together, playing to their characters' strengths and planning their strategy of eradication before the diseases overwhelm the world with ever-increasing outbreaks. For example, the Operation Specialist can build research stations, which are needed to find cures for the diseases. The Scientist needs only 4 cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal 5.
But the diseases are outbreaking fast and time is running out: the team must try to stem the tide of infection in diseased areas while also towards cures.
A truly cooperative game where you all win or you all lose.
Pandemic is also in these languages: French, German, Chinese, Korean, Polish, Czech, Slovakian. Dutch, Finnish, Swedish, Japanese"
We played over the Beer Bike weekend since Beer Bike was rained out (again).
Dolecki2000, Matttheowl, Anita, Kevin, Elisau, Sean, The treats, Saad, and I enjoyed the cooperative element to the game. I think that anyone interested in strategy - not just strategy games - should check this one out. In fact, I'm using it in my PhD class on community leadership and strategic planning coming up this Thursday. I'll let you know how it goes.
