151119 Late in 2014 we started playing it again and what an excellent game. We also dug up the bioterrorist variant and its quite fun, even 2P. 130929 Some how the fear of an alpha player has gotten me scared to pull out this game. But its still a great design. But I rate games by desire to replay and Pandemic just hasn't been getting the itch for me to play. 100212 A little Easy in 2player, but wow...a lot harder and a lot more fun with 4. Played it with 5 and it was damn near impossible (finally won with only 3 epidemics...and even so with 3 cards left the deck).

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.
