2nd play of Pandemic - beaten again!!

Four of us, Anita, Roshni, Maya and I played played this again - again a fun, fast, furious 40 minutes and again we were sounded defeated! We ran out of Player Cards, which is one of the game-over triggers...we even managed to cure 3 of the 4 diseases and eradicate one of them!! The challenge of winning as a team is what makes this game great for us.

Second play of Pandemic - we almost won!!!

A day after our disastrous attempt at saving the world from the 4 diseases of Pandemic, we played again, again with 4 of us with Maya playing with Anita (although she wasn't feeling too well so she mostly observed). This time we were more on the ball - Anita was the Engineer again and she undertook the task of establishing Science Stations throughout the World, firstly in South America where the Yellow disease had exploded and was on its way to North America, then Europe and then Asia. Roshni was the Scientist and she became our key because she only needed 4 instead of the normal 5 disease cards to produce a cure. Kavita was the Medic and flew from city to city stamping on major out breaks to buy the rest of us time. Meanwhile I tried to get together with Roshni to pass her on vital city/disease cards because I had the ability to pass on one city card per action any where in the world as long as we were together.

We got a few epidemics, but luckily there was no major spreads of any diseases and Kavita was able to keep a lid on them. Then a breakthrough with a cure for firstly the blue, then yellow then black diseases! All we needed was to team up in Manilla to share disease cards to get a cure sorted at the Research Station in Japan - except we ran out of player cards! Which meant Game over man! Game over! So close, so close - we could see the inevitable about to happen and we tried all we could to think our way through to beating the game, but to no avail - the red virus runs unchecked through Asia!!

A brilliant game allround - so much tension! A must play again!
