Slight improvement to regular Pandemic. A bit more restrictive since the ability to travel isn't as convenient as in regular Pandemic due to the time period this game takes place in, which creates a new challenge. The designers came up with some variants that add many hours to this game. I do find Iberia more challenging than the base version, even on the easiest level, which is a bit infuriating. However, it's an excellent game, just have to handle losing quite a bit more than I prefer.

Iberia is a decent cooperative game that comes with some mechanics that encourage long term planning, giving it a slight edge over the original. It can be quite tense, and victories do not come easily. Very pretty board, but it can be tricky finding city locations if you are not familiar with Spanish geography. Like the original Pandemic, if played with the official rules, the game is way too easy to quarterback and turns into a multi-hand solitaire game. I would suggest playing with your hand hidden to force players to communicate.

This game is very cool. We saw it in Avalon Roma Games near the Vatican and had to pick it up for Christmas. For Pandemic lovers it is familiar and intuitive but pretty different than the original: -the theme is strong and semi-historical -the map is well-crafted and beautiful -the new rules (railroads, ports, purified water, etc.) add interesting depth to the game-play -the roles are sufficiently different than the ones for the original game -two historical scenarios that are basically mini-expansions come with the game
