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.

When are these games going to get bad??? Unbelievable! The puzzle here is just lovely - might be the toughest to optimize in a Pandemic game yet. And included variants? Be still my beating heart.

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.

Yet another quality game in the Pandemic line. This one can create a different and more severe feeling of panic near the end of the game where the build up of the water becomes more and more significant to a point where it feels like it can't be stopped. I think that works for a game about flooding... I've never been in a real flood, but the game sure seems to feel like what it would if you're overwhelmed by water... in an abstract, board game kind of way.
