“This is an experience rather than just a game, over 12 games representing the 12 months of the year, you and your fellow players will be tasked with keeping the world alive. Easy right? This is a legacy game and as such the story will develop and new rules will change the way that you play, you will add stickers to the board, rip up cards, gain new cards, all creating your own personalised experience dependent on how the games unfold and whether you win or lose. This is a game designed for the same game group to come together again and again to dive into a world of their own creation and work together to ideally save the world from a pandemic. Holds a bit more gravitas now given recent events...”

“One of the best legacy games on the market. The real in-game impact of your decisions makes each round a race for survival. With the perks and modifications each round is different from the last and you can really make the board your own.”

“**SPOILER FREE** Okay...granted I am writing this before completing the entire game but based on my experience of the first few months of Pandemic Season 1, this may be the best game I've ever played. I'm hardly a seasoned board gamer but enough of one to say that it's my biggest hobby and pastime and thanks to lockdowns, I massively invested in story driven games with single player options. This naturally led to me trying some great games and at some point I picked up the standard version of Pandemic. I played it a few times solo and a few times with my 11 year old son and to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed as to why it was so popular. It's good but certainly not up there in my list of 'Best of board games'. I quickly moved it on to someone else but given the enjoyment I've had from story driven campaign games (Seventh Continent springs to mind immediately) I started to look into more campaign style games and this one kept on cropping up at the top of almost every list I looked at. I debated long and hard about buying it - I loved the idea but something inside me kept on arguing about the concept of destroying game components and writing all over them - I like to donate or sell games once I've played them and I realised that this would not be an option should I invest in it. What convinced me was a great gaming group I joined on Facebook after I asked the question about what to get next, the feedback was almost unanimous so I decided to take the plunge. I was almost hesitant about even opening the packaging when it came so I asked my son if he would want to join me for the campaign or if I'd be doing it alone. He agreed and we played (and won - January). I don't think I need to offer any sort of explanation on Pandemic, it's existed forever. The legacy version of the game offers a narrative that spans a year. Successes and failures lead to permanent game changes in future months, cities can fall, viruses can mutate and characters can die. The key thing for me was that the legacy deck is so well executed that I don't care if I'm ripping cards up or writing on the board, I want to continue and see what the next months have in store. We are excited about future months and we are invested in the game so much that we know we'll see it through to the end. Yes, there's the argument about replayability but honestly, it doesn't matter when the experience is so good. And that's what it boils down to - an experience. We will remember playing this for a long time. The decisions we made in one month when we failed directly led to us changing our approach the second time we tried and succeeded. The contradiction fact that the game always feels winnable but always feels as though you're on the brink of a massive failure is consistently impressive. Key decisions on whether not to treat the virus in one place and risk the city falling and impacting future games in order to treat it elsewhere are played expertly and I can honestly say that some turns led to real chin-scratching moments. I think it must be pretty obvious that I recommend this game so highly that if you're even only thinking of getting this a little bit that you should just buy it. Yes, it's more expensive than the base game and yes, you have to rip things up and permanently change the board but I compare it to the price of buying a video game, playing it and letting it then sit on the shelf. If you accept it for what it is then the legacy elements will only enhance the love of the game and the love of the hobby in general. I already know I'll be buying seasons 2 and 0 and I'm researching other legacy style games to buy. You know what? I can't wait!”
