This game is easy to teach, and easy to learn, and has very satisfying game play. Even the learning version of the game is challenging, and you will lose often. (Posted on 9/25/11)

Pandemic is definitely one of the best co-op games currently available. The rules are simple and easy to learn as well as explain allowing even non-gamers to easily get into a game without in-game frustrations (ex. "no one said you could do that!"). The fact that everyone is working together also helps guide newcomers into what actions are advisable to perform at given times. This being said, it's very important that players work as a team, because this game is punishing and an un-cooperative player will ultimately lead to a loss. However, players are able to adjust difficulty by changing the number of epidemic cards in the deck, so if a group finds themselves losing/winning repeatedly, simply change the number of epidemics. And as each player is assigned a random roll to play and virus locations are card based and therefore shuffled, no two games are ever the same making replayability of Pandemic very high.

I like games that are hard to beat, this one fits that description perfectly.
Pandemic is easy to learn, only takes an hour, and is scalable in difficulty. On easy you will face a 70% mortality rate!
The object of the game is to eradicate all the viruses around the world, sounds easy!
Well they multiply fast, so fast that you will face infection every turn, two cities at least! and when you pull the epidemic card it really picks up speed.
You win by curing all four viruses. You lose if you run out of any color of viruses, running out of cards, to many out breaks and so on.
THe easy level you will have 4 epidemics, you add more of these cards to make it harder!
Your role card is the key to winning, the special traits on the card help off set the over whelming advance of sickness.
The instructions are clear and simple, the price here is the best in Utah. (Posted on 2/18/11)
