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.

A co-op game that is fun and relatively easy to learn and plays in a short amount of time. Each game tends to be very different and they are usually tense to the end. It's fun to give each disease a name and then watch it spread or try to cure it. The city spots are way too small for all the stuff that can go on them, though; a single pawn is larger than a city space!

I need to play this more to properly evaluate it, but so far it looks like the best co-op game ever made, and second place isn't even close. Great theme, good components, tough game system, smooth gameplay, and looks like some interesting expansions in the pipeline. I should add that I'm not really into co-op games, so maybe giving it only a 7.5 doesn't do it justice.
