Lead the Netherlands into the Industrial Age in the latest version of the cooperative classic! It is the dawn of the Industrial Age in the Netherlands. For centuries, the country has relied upon a series of dikes and wind-powered pumps to keep it safe from the constant threat of flooding from the North Sea. But this system is no longer enough.

I enjoyed this version of Pandemic: Rising Tide and would like to try it out some more. There were some issues with map readability, but the new puzzle is definitely intriguing to me.

Decent variation on the classic pandemic game. Worth playing a few times to understand the dynamics at play. Less luck based than the normal pandemic but relatively easy in comparison.
