It's hard, with a game you only play through once, to know whether it was just a bad play or if the game itself is to blame. In my case, I think I was a bit turned off by how not-really-Pandemic S2 is (with S1, a large part of my fun was seeing how they twisted the formula away from it, which I didn't get here). That being said, I didn't get into S2 as much because of how swingy the difficulty was: we lost multiple games without having a snowman's chance, and won others without ever feeling threatened. Is it the game fault, the way the card felt, or something we did? I don't know. It was still fun, but nowhere near as good as S1 was (which I rate a 10).

Really enjoyed it solo. Although i did not enjoy as much as Season 1, i REALLY liked that they changed up the mechanics enough to make it fresh - highly recommend

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.
