playing pandemic during the corona virus lockdown, that's really something!

I've played through the whole campaign of Pandemic: Legacy. I've never in my life been so stressed over a board game. 10/10.

1:34 those pawns should be six feet apart!

ok i will say it now:

as of this comment this board game has unfortunately become real life.

Really cool to see this here. My family is obsessed with this game! Keep up the Good Work.

One rule that your overview missed is that players can only create a cure at a headquarters. Looking forward to your game later this week!

I love this game! Been playing it for years! Working through Pandemic Legacy Season 2

There is one big thing to note, on the 10th Anniversary edition there's a misprint. A connection is supposed to exist from Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok.

Minor detail: one of the research stations needs to be put on Atlanta. The video shows the research station already there when the pawns are put there, but this fact is never explicitly stated. Like I said, minor.

My wife and I love playing this game. We often play it in restaurants when we go out to eat. We have the edition you show on your right. The 10th anniversary edition has some nice things (e.g. the character pawns, the petri dishes for the disease cubes, and the "picture" of the disease on the markers), but I'm not a fan of the muted colors they use (especially for the city cards).

Haven't played a Legacy game yet.

Love pandemic, easily my favourite board game ever.

[renardmigrant]

This game has become obsolete as we're all playing it in real life now.

Yeah... I miss Wil. Watching him, and his friends play is extremely entertaining, and makes you wanna play. What did happen to him? Does anyone know?

[Dante-tiii]

Could these games be updated with new coronavariants, out of stock vaccines, and crazy President Evil? New DLC coming soon... if you are alive to play it.

[lestat]

Playing it now. So odd, especially that Melbourne is in lockdown... again.

[Mar_Kat]

The step-by-step instructions are super useful!

[sjcobra]

Lovely. 2020: this board game has come to life. 😟

[SpAzArDoUs]

Can you only move 1 space per turn? We played this a few times and it seems way to easy. Also does trading multiple cards count as 1 turn? An as for research the cure: Does that stop new cubes from coming out?

[stonks]

little did she know this game would become a lot more realistic just a year later

[ChristopherWalrath]

This a great game. 10 years. Fantastic.
