Designer: Matt Leacock

Players take on different roles (scientist, medic, researcher, dispatcher, operations expert) to discover the cures for 4 deadly diseases spreading the earth. If disease spreads uncontrolled, the players all lose. If they find the cures, they win.

The board shows earth with some big population centres. On each turn a player can use 4 actions to travel, cure, discover and build. Cards are used for this, but the deck also contains Epidemics...

Released February '08

This one looks really interesting and I'm definitely (at the least) going to be continuously checking this one out.

This is my #1 Most Wanted game. I was looking forward to having it for Christmas but I have learned to be patient. (Not) :)

I didn't get to play it at the Geek Con, but I saw it in play a lot. It caught my eye and I'm quite interested in it. Yeah! :)

I too have been looking forward to this one. My wife also is intrigued by the co-op play.

Yes, Pandemic looks stellar. I'd buy it right now in a heart beat if it were available.

Saving the Human Race from diseases or die trying sounds like a wicked theme to me.Count me in for a copy of this Zev!

Same here
Just got it on Friday. Read the rules Sunday. The rules were very clearly written with well-thoughtout examples of some of the more "complex" issues of play. Great example of what all rule sets should look like. If this is the level of rules writting we can expect from Z-man, I'll definitely be buying more of their products in the future.

After a few plays, this shot to #1 on my play list. In my opinion, the best "everyone wins or everyone loses" game out there.

I'm still waiting for the second printing of this so I can get a copy that isn't smelly, moldy, wet, warped, or otherwise damaged.:(
