Embark on an epic adventure to bring humanity back from the brink of extinction in this standalone follow-up to the acclaimed Pandemic Legacy: Season 1. Black and Yellow Editions have variant covers game contents are the same.

Season 2 introduces a significant number of random elements that makes it impossible to devise longterm strategic plans around. Each month feels more like an atypical game of standard Pandemic with some novel but chaotic obstacle thrown in the way. This was so unsatisfying that after month six we decided as a group to forfeit and throw the game away rather than bother to finish.

The story is pretty thin and you just find yourself completing the same objectives month after month. Although I really enjoyed the objective in the final month a lot. I realized after playing this game, legacy games are just not for me. There's a lot of new rule changes that feels like a hassle trying to remember and keep up with. I was a bit disappointed that some actions you are given are rarely useful. Instead of being fun, I felt like it was a lot of work. Due to some of the changes, the game went by really fast and you either win or lose right away. I barely drafted half the player deck or got past more than 2 or 3 epidemic cards before the game was over. The designers seemed to stuff a lot of ideas into this game with some hidden objectives that are helpful, but not mandatory to succeed or progress in the campaign. The unraveling of different cities was pretty neat to see unfold, but a bit predictable from the beginning. Overall, I appreciate the creativity and efforts the designers made to make this game challenging and different from Season 1, but just felt the story was ok and playing the game felt like it was more work than fun.

Another excellent Pandemic legacy game. I preferred Season 1 but this was also very good. Pick your teammates wisely as you can only play this once and it will probably take a couple of days to finish.
