My wife had been researching games and this was high on her list. We went with another game originally, but shortly after purchased this one anyway. This game won me over the first time we played it. You play cooperatively as a team, working together to beat the game. This unique feature really appeals to me, because my friends and I can be on the same team, instead of always trying to beat each other [we get competitive]. I also really like that you have to problem solve on the fly, because as the game progresses challenges arise that you may not be prepared for, so as a whole team you need to figure out how to deal with them. Another positive aspect to Pandemic is that it is difficult, and can be made even more so. You will not win every game. You may not even win most games. This type of challenge is honestly addicting. Every time we don't win, I can't wait to play again and try a different strategy. This game is both entertaining and challenging. I would highly recommend Pandemic to anyone looking for a fun, team oriented board game. Rating: 5 / 5 I was not really interested in purchasing this game at first.

Several game modes are provied to introduce the game for begginers and can get harder as you get used to the game. The game actualy gets harder a big the more people you add. But thats to keep you on your toes and not just make it one sided. It's little more complex and can take a little bit of getting used to then a traditional game but it is deffinitly a great buy. It can be a great leason in team work since you don't compeat with the other players. Do yourself a favor and get the On The Brink expansion to add even more challagnes to the game. It's not required but can be added to the game with more advanced players. Rating: 5 / 5 A very fun game were you work together to beat the game instead of each other.

Thank to the meetup, I get to play many games I wanted to play. <br /> <br />This game is such a hype in my opinion. This is a cooperative game and yet that is the problem of the game. People just won't play and start arguing and decide how other should play so we can win the game. Come me, give me a break, I am here to have fun, if winning kills the fun then I don't want to play at all. <br /> <br />Basically, playing this game cannot involve people that are opinionated otherwise the game will stall and endless/meaningless fighting will breakout among the players and you will regret why you join the game at the first place. <br /> <br />I thought this is a cooperative game after all...... <br /> <br />A great Team Building exercise will be to play this game silently...hehe ~ <br /> Rating: 2 / 5 I finally played this game after such a waiting time.

I thought this is a cooperative game after all……

A great Team Building exercise will be to play this game silently…hehe ~
