"The best game"
I love this game, and everyone I know who I play it with does as well
(Unless you have an ultra brainy person who takes over).
There is nothing like when the adrenaline takes over and you race against the
game to save the world.
"Cooperative game with an adrenaline rush!"
If you like cooperative games and ones that involve some nailbiting tension, this is the game for you. Played this for the first time with 4 players at the easiest level and although we did win, it was down to the wire. One more move and we would have lost. Absolutely addictive and everyone in the group agreed that we would be back for more.
This game probably isn't for those who are A-type personalities and find it difficult to play nicely with others, but other than that, I would say that it suits most gamers. And with relatively easy rules and gameplay, it may even suit non-gamers as well.
"A Gateway Game"
Ever wanted to get your family or friends playing a game that is a little
more interesting than the tired old classic monopoly then this is the game for
you.
Pandemic is a game in which the player work together co-operatively, which is
quite a unique gaming experience, in an attempt to rid the world of four
diseases, you win together or lose together.
The game is built up on a few easy to understand mechanics that combine to
make a rich strategic game, because the game is easy to understand you can get
people to play it without giving up before the game has began, also because its
co-op you get to their first game without advantaging yourself or disadvantaging
them as you do in other game when you see other player's hands etc.
The strategic element is something usually not found in a game with such easy to
understand rules hence the description of this as a gateway game, after this
game people may give more complex games a chance.
Overall Pandemic is a really intelligent game that deserves a place in any boardgame collection

An excellent game for 2–4 people in which everyone must work together, communicate and plan ahead if they want to win! The game is easy to setup, the mechanics are fairly simple and the game duration is typically 10–45mins so I would recommend it to both experienced and inexperienced board gamers. The different player abilities (roles), randomised epidemic/infected locations and the ability to vary the difficulty level make every game different (and challenging) and ensures the game will still be coming out its box for some time!
