Definitely the best twist in the series. Also much more of a challenge. I wish the wood pieces were plastic to match everything else in the series. It’s much more difficult to move around until you set up infrastructure. The water tokens that prevent cubes is a good added change from the original. Needing to build all 4 hospitals is another nice touch. In the other games you have dice or water flow as the twist but there are several in succession that mix really well to make it feel quite different while using the same system. We won our first introductory game on the very last turn we could with about 3-4 cards coming up that could have destroyed us. I thought it was over so many turns before that. I’m sure as you get better you’ll add more epidemics but for now it’s a challenge and a different type of puzzle that I’ve come to enjoy. I haven’t played all the expansions to the base yet but I’d rank this pretty high in the series for the added mechanisms. I’d probably rank chuthulu as the theme and maybe base for expansions as most variety.

Gorgeous and tense. After 1 play I abstain myself from calling it the best version of Pandemic, because I know that the novelty factor will wear off after a couple of games.

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.
