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.

A different take on the Pandemic system. My wife an I enjoy it. I prefer it to most of the other pandemic variants except maybe Iberia.

Pandemic with flood water replacing diseases, building four major hydraulic installations replacing the cures and storm cards replacing pandemic ones. The game does add pumps to suck up flood water and dikes that protect from flooding while they last. Like the original Pandemic, Rising Tide's (multi-player, pretty variable) puzzle nature is too much to the fore for my taste. Production quality and artwork are both pretty good.

I have really enjoyed this game. The game is a bit fiddly with the placement of dikes, as well as a bit hard to read with seeing the map connections and water flow. However, the payoff is certainly worth it. In my eyes the game brings 3 really unique and great additions to the Pandemic model. The “water flow” idea is so thematic and really escalates the game quickly. Also, the dikes in combination with this mechanic add a nice defensive and strategic element to the game. Lastly, the water pumps are an awesome passive approach to dealing with the issue. Couple all of that with the very thematic setting, beautiful color pallet and this is something I really have enjoyed. I can certainly recommend it, and my guess is that this version of Pandemic might appeal most to euro gamers that don’t mind a little bit of fiddlyness in their game.
