Pretty much the same as pandemic, wish it had just a bit more uniqueness but what small bits it had works. Cool minis too.

I think the beginner level is too easy relative to the other pandemics with the exception of base pandemic. I have owned and played them all now and the theme is fun on this one but it does lack the spark the others have. I think removing the outbreaks and cultists make it a bit more predictable. The slaggoths move in a predictable way as well. The only unknown factors are dice rolls and which order the old ones will come out in. It feels like the cultist deck doesn’t have a lot of duplicates so there is always just 1 cultist in each spot. It just feels off because you are just concerned with the overall amount left and not them actually summoning anything. I think we had a bad dice roll once that added some and one old one but it rarely happened. It did get more intense towards the end so maybe we had a good string of relics, dice rolls, and order of the old ones but it just didn’t feel the same towards the end. I definitely enjoyed it though and I’ll play it again on max difficulty but the other newer pandemics were hard at the easy level and had more intense moments. Still going to have a place in my pandemic collection but it’s the first one that left me doing some research if we played it right.

Unlike prior Pandemics -- which were exercises in evaluating probabilities and pressing your luck -- this game is simply a luck-fest. Yes, it has nice/decent components, and yes it has thematic art and gameplay, but these simply can't offset the enormous swingy-ness of the player card draws and bosses. Bleh. I won't turn down a game if someone else suggests it, but I won't be the one suggesting to play it. And I LOVE Pandemic.
