This seems to be a great game to play with friends; So far we just play me and my wife, so it can get really hard some times (played only 2 characters). If you feel it is difficult to win, just take more characters out of the box and use 2 of them for each player. It is really good game, really fun and the Skills from each Character is really fun to play, they can give you a nice advantage to win. It can snow ball you really hard, so just go with it and have fun.

Loved it. Turned out to be really fun for 2 people and Im sure its even more fun with more. Numerous dynamics and co-op aspect ensures it remains interesting after playing it tens of times.

I bought this game for my boyfriend after reading it described as a cooperative game since he is definitely that person that takes games way too seriously and makes everyone miserable when hes playing against you. The nature of this game is such that people like him are forced to work together with the other players to beat the game. And this game can be a tough nut to crack even after repeated plays. As Wil Wheaton says in his Tabletop video on this game: There are lots of ways to lose the game but only one way to win. This makes the game fun and challenging - even a bit frustrating at times! On one play we lost the game in two rounds! Those initial infection plays can really break you. Weve been playing this constantly since we got it and havent gotten bored of it yet. I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys board games, especially challenging board games where there might not be a way to win every time.

Its interesting but the instructions are pretty vague. Yes, I read them but I still had to figure out HOW some of the characters actions really worked. Example: one person can move people but it doesnt fully say when during the game. during their turn? any time? I had to google the specifics and ask a friend who played it. I gave it 4 because of this but its not getting 3 stars because it is a fun game.

Such a fun game to play with family & friends. Makes a great 2 player game! Takes a few times playing to really learn the rules & figure out how things work. Once you understand the rules, it is easy to play & teach others to play. Overall a great game & very fun to play. We like that you work together to win the game, instead of competing to win.

Every week we have a group of friends who gets together to play Board Games, and this game was a hit. The vast majority of the games we play pit the players against each other (Puerto Rica, Settlers of Catan, Risk, Ascension etc...) which is a blast. However, Pandemic puts all players on the same team. This makes it a blast to play and completely switches up the dynamics of the night. A great break from yelling and screaming at each other we now end up yelling and screaming at the game as we slowly lose the game and the world succumbs to diseases. This game is not only fun, but fast. An average game for us is between 30-45 minutes, which means that we can play multiple games in a single night to test our luck at different skill levels. If you are curious to how it plays check out Table Talk on YOUTUBE, great show which shows the actually gameplay.

I am NOT into board games, especially super complicated ones, so when my husbands friend pulled this one out during the holidays --I was dreading it. BUT to my surprise, it was really really fun! It DOES take a little bit of time to read all the instructions and learn how to play- but once you do, its totally worth it! I LOVE that the game is designed for everyone to play as a team against the pandemic; if you win-you all win, if you lose-you all lose. It was so much fun--We had to buy one for ourselves!

As soon as my relative decided on board game, this was a very good choice Fast and convenient delivery times! Thanks,

I am officially 100% obsessed with this game. At first, there’s a lot of nuances to grasp, but after the first play-through, we had them down. My boyfriend and I have introduced the game to some of our friends, and they all love it too! We are definitely planning on buying some expansion packs, but for now we’re content playing on the increased difficulty level that you can do with the original game. Definitely buy this if you’re considering it! I had it in my cart for a while, and I was so happy when I finally bought it.

This latest edition is great. Cooperative games are great for keeping folks united for a common goal. Its hard to beat the game. As for preventing someone from becoming a domineering leader, we implemented a communication troubles rule where the sat phones go down due to a variety of possible reasons determined at random and triggered by game conditions.
