My family has played this 3 times so far and had a blast every time. No play through is the same. One of the biggest things we like is that is all about teamwork, if you dont work together, you will fail. Highly recommend.

I was a bit hesitatant to purchase this game because I didnt know if my husband would like a co-op game and the price was a bit higher than other board games. Im so glad we did because this quickly became one of our favorites! Its easy to play with just 2 people and has great replayability. The quality is also definitely worth the price. We recommend it to all of our friends and many of them have bought it and liked it so much they bought the expansion packs. If youre still not sure you can go to YouTube and look up people playing it (Will Wheaton has a series and they explain some rules etc).

A friend of mine introduced me to cooperative style games and I was instantly hooked when my daughters and I started playing Pandemic. We LOVED it! I was borrowing his game so I had to return it and buy my own. They were sold out and I had to wait until the 2nd edition arrived. What a MAJOR disappointment when it comes to the build quality. Cheap plastic pieces for the disease and one of the connections on the board was missing (Lagos to Sao Paulo I believe). I was able to draw in the connection using my wifes silver marker from her scrapbooking supplies. We still love the game and play it a lot which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 3. I would have given it 5 except for the lack of quality in the pieces. Disappointing.

Fun but takes a few turns to understand the point of the game. Second round went faster and felt like it had fluidity to it. Definitely takes talking to strategize a game plan to win.

Besides the irony of playing this game during a real pandemic, I and my wife fell in love with this game. We play this game almost everyday before going to bed. There is a slight learning curve as the game has some complexity, but once you play one or two games you will start to enjoy what it has to offer.

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!

This game is awesome. My husband and I tend to have a lot of game nights with close friends and often times they get a little bit heated so it’s really nice to find a game that was more collaborative. Our first time ever playing we were kind of cruising through it and we know we thought we had it in the bag and then all of a sudden we just lost! Which was actually kind of nice because being avid gamer is it’s really easy to kind of get tired of games but our second round we won and it was such a great feeling. I loved it so much that I went home and download the mobile app so that I can keep playing because we gave the original board game as a gift to our friend! Highly recommend!

WOW! This has been our summer go to game despite a closet of games. And if two people plan to play, you can bet anyone who is home will come running to get in on the action. Its easy and its fun! Best of all I love that I can see the leaders in my boys come out. I like to play, but now I sit back and watch them take over directing the game play. They work together and work out disagreements. Its great for learning problem solving and team building skills. I think this is one of the games that relates to real life more than anyone is realizing. As a homeschooling mom I highly recommend.

We all love this game, my one complaint is not enough cards for a 4 player game. 2 and 3 player games we win most of the time, but the couple 4 player games we tried all were loses because we ran out of cards (you do not reshuffle discards). That means theres only enough cards for 7 turns each. Just 6 turns for a 5 player game as the expansion doesnt give more cards either. Other than that minor complaint, this is an excellent game. I really love the cooperative aspect. Everyone wins or everyone loses. Another reviewer mentioned Forbidden Island so I bought that too. Its created by the same guy who created Pandemic so gameplay is nearly identical, though its a tad simpler. Weve never lost a game with FI. That one is great fun too but for me, Id pick Pandemic over Forbidden Island.

Im a huge fan of pandemic the game so I love everything about it. This particular copy of the game came scuffed on the corners.
