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.

Rising Tide is another installment in the series of the world championships editions: each year Asmodee releases a version tied to the location of the last WC, designed by Matt Leacock together with an author from that country. This one has a very interesting new mechanic: floods originate in the sea, and spread to neighboring locations in a way that is at the same time Pandemic-like and very novel. There are also many ways to customize the difficulty of the each single game, both with the number of Rising Tide cards, and with custom objective cards. Rising Tide is definitely the most gamer’s version of Pandemic, and one of the best!

My wife and I really like this one. It adds interesting new elements (water pumps, dikes), has a beautiful design, and is perhaps more challenging than the original one or Iberia.

Another solid entry in the Pandemic family of games and probably my favorite twist on the genre. Instead of fighting diseases, players must achieve a number of goals that vary from game to game (at least in the more advanced variant) while keeping water out of the Netherlands. The dyke system is really interesting and creates a fresh puzzle for fans of Pandemic. The map could be improved and the Dutch names make it a bit more difficult to find things but it's still definitely worth a try even for people, like you, who don't necessarily love base Pandemic.
