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.

Superb cooperative game, I really enjoy Pandemic: Rising Tide. Players will be under pressure to build pumps and ports and secure dikes to manage the flow of water. This intense planning is essential to give time to build the four hydraulic structures and win the game. Storms can hit without warning and dikes can fail at the worst time, ending a game you felt almost certain to win. Intelligent game with beautiful artwork. Excellent!

Good game, more challenging than standard Pandemic (including Iberia). Managing dikes and water seems fiddly. My feeling on this may change with more plays.

Excellent reimplementation of Pandemic that is much more than a reskin. For example, via the operable pumps, incentives are shifted in a way that the players walk along a line that's close to both success and disaster. There's a trade-off between quickly building one of the game's four systems that are needed to win the game, and getting the most out of its bonus. Further, we aren't simply here to eradicate water--water can't be destroyed. Instead, we need to shape how it flows through the low lands so we can manage its increasing presence. So, the puzzle is engaging, there are thematic touches throughout, and those thematic touches provide a logical connection to solving the engaging puzzle. Finally, the game comes with a couple modules to mix up the puzzle more, so there's plenty of game inside the box.
