The fact that one of the winning outcomes is just getting a patient to hospice is… a bit too real 😅

Edit: oof, reading the patient bios was also rough. I’m assuming this is a game “based” in the US, because repeatedly ending up in the ER for asthma is unreasonable! Poor Marley!

My copy arrived today. Very nice components!

Drawing cards to determine available treatments explains a lot about the medical system.

Thanks for this play through it helped tremendously!

Glad I backed this one! It actually looks ..real..but fun.

There are no Klingon subtitles any more. They appear to have been removed by YouTube as an option.

Awesome playthough, you made the game quite easy to understand. 🙂 Can't wait for this KS to fufill this year!

[tomoshiro]

I understand the game but it is strange to hear you say “ let’s remove a brain”
“That will be good “

[chandramohan]

Love it- such an amazing game. Poor Allison with cardiac myopathy- but you stabilized her. Good part with this game is that you can contribute to treat each others patient.

This game looks really interesting! Great playthrough!

32:59 I'm sorry, but I burst into laughter when Naveen said "Wish me inflammation" 😅

[Lykaon]

"you're going to sacrifice the intern?"... "yeah!..well..." 😆

[truelifetales]

Great play through! And really, could you have had a more perfect combo of content creators/game players??? Highly doubt it! Just hearing the medical terminology tripping off your tongues with ease made for a very engaging watch. I just may have to break my "no new games for 2024" self-imposed ban! 🤩

Thanks for the teach :) Looks like a really well-done and thematic version of Pandemic. Any idea when this will be hitting retail? Thank you.

Can you do a video on the game Blast Tactics next?

At the start of Wednesday, Allie no longer had the conditions for her TIA - does it still trigger or should that card have been "cured" because she didn't have the blood or brain issues?

[mariuszkania]

I like this one. I need to say that I miss heavy crunchy euro with medical/healthcare theme. Is there any?

[LifeUntilLove]

I will say, for so much accuracy, the times on these are quite off. 9 hours for a lumbar puncture is very funny (our unit did it in 45 minutes to an hour) . I did enjoy it, even if it might be too real to bring to the table (Marley is going to be drowning in medical debt for the rest of her life with no/poor insurance during an ICU stay)

It looks like I am so early there are no klingon subs.

Would love to see a game where things go badly.
