A Pandemic title with a historical setting. The train and water purification tolkens are a fantastic addition. [Cards sleeved; Solo play]

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.

I have a somewhat curious history with Pandemic. It's a title which left me unsatisfied when I played it the first times, but then I played Pandemic Legacy which forced me to play the game 16 times. This experience actually gave me a better appreciation for the base game (unless it's a gaming form of Stockholm syndrom), and I bought the base game and the On the brink expansion, which I play from time to time. Pandemic Iberia is a gorgeous variation of Pandemic which stays pretty close to the original, but offers interesting additions like the option to lay railroad tracks, and introducing a "water purification" mechanic in replacement of straight healing of the disease cubes. This enriched the game in a pleasant manner. The game also provides lots of professions and variants that make it probably the best option if you only want to buy the base box of the game.
