Shut Up and Sit Down: Pandemic, Expansions & Penicillin | |
Pandemic, Expansions & Penicillin Matt Lees takes a closer look at the disease-ridden cooperative board game Pandemic and its expansions.

Too bad I have no friends, so the game is out. However, Laphroaig (a Scott would murder you for calling the "the frog") is my favourite scotch! I might have to try that concoction... and suffer the ensuing headache :) | |
Although I enjoyed it, it mostly fell flat with a couple casual groups I tried to play it with. I think of Pandemic as a "losing is fun" type game, but many people simply hate losing. However, playing the easier version is kind of boring. | |
Although I enjoyed it somewhat, I found that it committed the cardinal sin of cooperative games: All players have all the information and all the same goals, so if one or two of the four players are more experienced with the game or just generally take-charge types, they can orchestrate everything else while the other players basically just watch them play the game. | |
Great appraisal of Pandemic, Matt. Really matches up with my experience of the game. :) | |
