Great cooperative game to introduce this style to people. We played with our parents (50+) and they got into it just as much as a 20 something gamer. Exciting at first but I can see how it may get a little less exciting when played more often. This game accommodates 2-4 players and 3 levels of difficulty. Cons: - For a colorblind person, the colors in this game are difficult. The black cubes are not exactly fully black. The pawns are also wierdly colored. -Some of the pieces and board are not super well made. -As someone mentioned, we only have 5 epidemic cards... - Game mechanics could be explained better in the manual. Pros: - Cards are great quality. - Pieces are manageable and come with baggies. - Fun and fairly eaay to get into.

Its a co-op game - you fight the board, not each other, and I love that, especially in a family that is full of competitive people. The more people you have playing it can be a really long game. Although its co-op you dont have to share your cards with everybody and let them know what you have. Before you start the game, you may want to make it clear to everybody else that the game consists of teamwork, but nobody is leader. I know there can be some forceful personalities; it sucks the fun out of the game when people are telling you what to do, and you feel like its not even really your turn, but their turn nonstop with your character. Theres three ways to die, so that makes it fun! Youre in a hurry to figure out how to survive. Some rules are unclear and confusing. Look online, and theres a lot of people there to clarify the rules. The first time I played it was with two friends. We misunderstood a lot of the rules and went all over the place, and even changed rules in the middle of turns, to try to sort it out better. It wasnt a proper game at all, but it was loads of fun, and we won right before there were no cards left to draw. My friends also have this obsession with the asian character guy, so they always hope and pray they get him when we mystery pull character roles. And no, theyve never pulled him. I did once. They hated me. :)

Family loved the game. But understand it is a cooperative game so theres no 1 winner. The more you play the better you get at it requires a lot of teamwork and strategy. The first couple times you play it youre not sure if youre doing everything right but then it gets very interesting when you figure out all the rules our family of five loves it this includes me and my husband in our forties are younger children in their twenties and are much younger children in their teens

I got this for my brother for Christmas. He was so excited about it. It’s a little difficult to learn, and we did watch some YouTube videos to figure a few things out, but overall we enjoyed it.

This game is super fun and pretty easy to learn! A little awkward to recommend to people considering the ~unprecedented times~ but I definitely would!

Great to play with friends

Great game learned fast to work together to gain control of the pandemic

We bought a second one for our son and his wife.

Do you board Game nights get a little competitive? Try a cooperative game then. This one is great to get everyone working together rather than against each other.

Was a replacement for my old version (was one of the older ones with the missing connection on the yellow). The updated look is nice. Probably one of the absolute best games out there for co-op play and great gateway board game to introduce the alternate types of board games to some one
