Disaster has struck! Cities around the world are in desperate need of food, water, vaccines, and other supplies. You and your team belong to the Crisis Response Unit (CRU), an elite team of doctors and specialists. With a specially equipped plane, you are uniquely capable of providing life-saving aid — anytime, anywhere.
Pandemic: Rapid Response is a race against time. Roll dice to create supplies, fly the plane, and make deliveries to cities in need. As the timer counts down, you must quickly coordinate and work together to react to new disasters. Will you and your team be able to respond in time?
The nations of the world have pooled their resources and assembled a diverse crew. Each of the seven unique role cards features its own ability. The Analyst, Adjoua Soro, is able to re-roll the dice up to two additional times. The Engineer, Soojin Sohn, can change any die result with a plane to a different symbol. Take turns as quickly as possible, using your role’s unique ability and strategically allocating your dice to be as efficient as possible when creating supplies.
When you’re ready for a new challenge, adjust the difficulty level or add crisis cards for a greater variety of obstacles to overcome. Now hurry — the timer is counting down and the world needs your help!

Enjoy this version of pandemic quite a bit! The real-time aspect makes sense thematically. The layout of the plane is super neat, the dice are lovely, and it plays much faster than regular Pandemic. Bonus: you could easily remove the real-time element and just walk through the turns to be able to teach a child how to play. And it feels like you're really doing something important in real life!

Wow. I wasn’t expecting such a good feeling from a real time Pandemic. Aside from the board a little too dark, the gameplay is just a blast : it is intense, fun, balanced, with a serious taste of “one more game”. Brilliant. The rules are easy to access and offer a nice learning curve to get the most efficient in this challenging (and somehow chaotic) environment. In final, a very nice surprise and a game that will often land on our tables.

Pandemic...but differently. The crew on an intervention plane tries to fend off the spread of calamities throughout the world on a real time clock that ends the turn every two minutes. This requires fast thinking and fast action! Do not expect a quiet gaming round, after a couple of minutes you will be pushing people to hurry up... Maybe not everyone's cup of tea.
