From designer Matt Leacock, Pandemic is a cooperative game of teamwork where an elite team must work together to keep four deadly diseases at bay. Assemble your team to discover the cure, stop the spreading diseases, and avert a global disaster. Celebrate a decade of curing diseases with the game that started it all. This beautifully-rendered anniversary edition of Pandemic includes a custom metal box, all-new art with a vintage aesthetic, large ID cards, plastic figures, and plenty of wooden pieces. Can you save humanity?

I really dig into the theme, but the QB issue has finally sucked some of my enjoyment out of the game. The second problem I have with it is that the setup and mechanics of the game, while complimenting the theme, ultimately are more tedious to the game than what I'd prefer. That said, I'll totally play this over Forbidden Desert (again, technically sound, but less interesting) or Forbidden Island. Like many coops, the problem space is limited once a solution is found. Pandemic sort of, but not entirely, avoids this with the multitude of variants at your disposal in the expansions (and I think both On The Brink and, less so, In The Lab are sort of required for that reason). Oddly enough, the Legacy game does avoid this as the basic premise changes in subtle ways so you don't see the entire problem space each game.

An excellent game, and I am always wanting to play it. Every card you turn makes you cringe,,,I love it! It plays just as well with 2 players as it does with 4.

a cooperative game that is huge fun and very difficult. great play mechanics and player roles means no two games are going to be the same.
