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.

Too often in this game, I felt like much of my progress was whistling in the wind compared to the flow of water which kept on falling off. The worst part of Pandemic is having a leftover action you don't know what to do with, and I felt like this happened all the time in Rising Tide: you can't take a cube out with it, because most of the time, it will just come back anyway.

Very good. An interesting take on the "disease" mechanic with the flooding. The pacing of the game is very good. Should only be played with the objective cards.

This is actually my favorite iteration of Pandemic, but the board is a huge problem. Trying to go the historic route sounds great, but the names are too long, and the regions are too clumsy for all the pieces. Stacking dikes in the small clustered regions is a super pain. Also, because the names are so long and take up most of the space in the smaller areas, you have to cover them with the pieces--it becomes a challenge locating them. Lastly, the regions themselves are overly complex making it hard to quickly see what flows where each turn.
