Four diseases have broken out in the world and it is up to a team of specialists in various fields to find cures for these diseases before mankind is wiped out. Players must work together playing to their characters' strengths and planning their strategy of eradication before the diseases overwhelm the world with ever-increasing outbreaks. For example the Operation Specialist can build research stations which are needed to find cures for the diseases. The Scientist needs only 4 cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal 5. But the diseases are out breaking fast and time is running out: the team must try to stem the tide of infection in diseased areas while also towards cures. A truly cooperative game where you all win or you all lose.
Players: 2-4
Age Range: 10+

Intense game, cooperative style submitted by mowjac on April 16, 2021, 5:28pm This game is cooperative, which means the gamers vs. the cards. It's a tough game to win, because there a lot of random elements and it can get a bit stressful. I played this game often before the coronavirus pandemic; not sure how much fun is to be had after. Also, people's personalities really show up when you play.

topical and fun submitted by Aimless on July 5, 2021, 8:21am this is a cooperative board game, which means it is all the players versus the game, not player versus player. In the time before Corona this was one of my favorite group board games. however Corona virus hit, and pandemic became a little too real. I look forward to playing this game once the pandemic is over

Pandemic submitted by SBNB on July 27, 2021, 7:59pm This is a fun, cooperative game. Either you all win or you all lose. My family had fun playing it, but one of the rules was a bit vague, so I'm not sure if we were doing that part right. And I think we lost. Oh well, at least it was fun.

5/5 submitted by Morgsush on June 16, 2022, 2:29am one of my favorite cooperative games where you play against the game to save the world. what better stakes are those

A little on the nose, but a classic submitted by severian on July 14, 2022, 7:29pm This is a really fantastic cooperative game that involves lots of talking through your choices with the other players. You know, the kind of good communicating that in an actual pandemic feels kind of non-existent. What's really exciting about this game is that it always feels extremely close at the end, and it's very hard to tell if you're going to be successful or not. Give it a try!

Super fun and in great condition submitted by srygl1sl on July 22, 2022, 9:58am This game is really fun and I was impressed with how well kept the game and pieces are by the library. Everything is nearly organized and in great shape.

Really fun game submitted by berger_d on August 28, 2022, 11:23am My whole family loves to play Pandemic! This is a really fun cooperative game, great for the kids because we all win or lose together. It's easy enough to understand, but challenging to win if you play everything on hard mode.
