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.

Thematically you can now build railroads to increase your speed of movement and instead of curing the diseases you are preventing them from spreading by providing an access to fresh water. Moreover, you have an option to have all four diseases behave in a different, more dangerous way. You can also opt to play the game in an alternative mode in which patients move on the board. I have to admit that I haven’t tried this game mode but reading from the rules it seemed to involve a more taxing upkeep phase. Despite the apparent changes in the rules this is the same old Pandemic, in my opinion. Decisions you make and the feeling you get are still the same. I think Pandemic Iberia might be a bit more versatile than the original but now that I have had my share of Pandemic due to playing through Legacy Seasons One and Two I have absolutely no will to play this any more than I have to.
