This is the first co-op game I ever played and it really sold me! It did sit, unplayed, on my shelf for a time but brought it back out in 2020, like I’m sure many did.

Very cool mechanics! The processes of an "outbreak" feels as it should: stressful and in need of co-op strategy all the while keeping the fun in it. Solid with 4 players. Played a few sessions in solo mode and it seems to work as well. Co-Op is heavy leaning. In my sessions, I found that it typically comes to a point where a "leader" is set and it can sway to some players just moving through the motions to accomplish the overall goal. Of course, this is all based off the group and how each individual prefers play. Highly suggest individuals that simply enjoy puzzle mechanics (problem solving systems) and like working together through the process.

Pandemic, Forbidden Island, Forbidden Desert... etc. are re-themes of the same game. Holy shit its mostly the exact same mechanics. I was so disappointed when i found that out. Milk that cow dry, Matt. Anyway i found Pandemic inferior to F. Island. It is fiddlier just for the sake of it and drags on a bit longer.
