"Intense Gameplay"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you don't own this game – why not- The 1st Legacy version of the original base game is quite simply, fantastic! The campaign is intense almost from the 1st month, but come February… Rules change, diseases mutate, characters abilities are enhanced or inhibited, cities become unstable and may eventually descend into utter chaos. Your team need to work and plan very carefully together otherwise the game will devour you. There are many ways to win and equally as many ways in which the game can trip you up. Tip: DON'T try to avoid permanently changing the game or the true experience of this game will be lost.

"Fantastic game that's easy to learn and play"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Pandemic in general is a super 5/5 great game, it's really easy to learn and play without to much hassle and it's an awesome co-op strategy game. The only reason that I haven't marked it as 4/5 instead of 5/5 is that, as marketed it comes with an awesome campaign (unlike the regular Pandemic), however this campaign is designed to only be played through ONCE. The rules call for permanently altering parts of the game (eg. putting stickers on the game board, ripping up/destroying characters and other cards, etc.). After this the game fundamentally changes for future use. It's a really cool concept, but I wish there was an option to play the campaign without making the permanent changes. The fix I came up with was to keep notes of how all each game of the campaign went as a reminder instead of using the stickers, so far it's working pretty well. Overall, it's a great game with a really cool campaign.

"The Infection is Spreading"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

We're half way through this and it's constantly changing, becoming more challenging and building a story. If you enjoy Pandemic, or campaign games, this is a must. I purchased this and season 2 from Mighty Ape for a little more than the cost of one of them from most retailers. I have bought a lot of games here and will continue to do do in the future.

Description

Actions have consequences from one game to the next as you strive to avert global disaster in this stand-alone epic twist on Pandemic. Red and Blue Editions have variant covers; game contents are the same.

An Epic Adventure
It starts simply. A virus tougher than the rest. Nothing your team can’t handle. But as January turns to February, things take a turn for the worse. This is no ordinary virus. What results is a year that will never be forgotten. Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 is a unique and epic cooperative game where your decisions in one game carry over into future games. Over the course of the campaign, you will open sealed packets, reveal hidden information, and unlock secrets that will change your world in unexpected ways. Characters will gain scars, cities will panic, and diseases will mutate. Adapt to each new challenge and save humanity before it’s too late. The world will never be the same again.

One Month at a Time
Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 begins like the original Pandemic, but soon morphs into something more. Pandemic Legacy has a story arc that occurs over the course of year. Each passing month brings new objectives, new challenges, and even new rules. Trigger certain events and you’ll unlock tools that reveal strategies for dealing with each new problem. Throughout, the clock is ticking. You have only two chances to win a game during a month before moving on to the next, so be careful. Your actions have a permanent impact on the world, for better or for worse.

Change the World
As your Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 campaign continues, the world you are fighting to protect becomes uniquely your own. Characters are affected by their experiences battling the global pandemic and cities feel the weight of the outbreaks and epidemics that sweep through them. Even the diseases themselves evolve as you play. These developments have a direct impact on the game itself. Cities panic and become harder to travel to as the infection spreads. Characters’ abilities are diminished as outbreaks take their mental toll. Your team is all that stands between global catastrophe, and you decide how it evolves. Enhance your characters’ abilities or add powerful new event cards to the player deck. Many options exist, each of which will shape the course of your campaign.

Strive to Save Humanity
The world is on the brink of collapse. The coming year in Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 will determine the fate of humanity. Gather your team and prepare for a campaign full of epic twists and evolving gameplay. There are many paths to follow. No two worlds will ever be alike!
