My 10 is to counter all these dicks putting 1's for no reason other than being morons. Even though you can only play through once it is a unique experience and most enjoyable if its anything like season 1. Really at the end of the game you could just use whatever you created to keep playing that scenario.

More random than season 1 and much more random than normal pandemic. Weak mechanics and balance. I miss the narrative structure from season 1.

Incredibly tense, and the "your fate depends on the shuffle" element of vanilla pandemic is everpresent and even magnified. The overall idea and narrative is great, but some of the details are problematic. Overall, I enjoyed the play and would possibly recommend it to others (but not blindly), but there were some real annoyances while playing that could be dealbreakers. There are definitely points in the game where the outcome is completely out of your hands, due to the game not having many ways to mitigate luck of the draw, and the steep death spiral starts (and ends) quickly. There are ways to mitigate the luck, but that depends on how well your group is doing and it's possible to exhaust those methods, leaving future months more random. Oddly enough, I'm not sure that "fun" is the word I would use to describe it, because it feels almost like push-your-luck in trying to rack up achievements before time runs out. That being said, there are lots of fun moments talking about how Washington is threatening to infect the whole country.
