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.

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.

I like the water spreading mechanism, it works very well, and I love that the board has character. Not in terms of art (although that's fine), but in terms of gameplay. Every region has a different feel which gives the game personality and makes me want to play it repeatedly to learn how to play best on it. As opposed to generic Pandemic which doesn't have much appreciable difference between all the different regions. The only advantage of the original, to me, is ease of teaching (but I'd prefer Forbidden Island for that, anyway), and the setup is a lot easier and quicker.

Pandemic with a Benelux twist. Still very solid, but perhaps a little soggy. One of the best parts of Pandemic is seeing the pot's about to boil over and scrambling to Africa before dinner's ruined. But here the pot can randomly explode and wash the entire kitchen away downstream.
