My wife and I just finished playing the last month of Pandemic Legacy Season 0. OMG, that was a great ride.
We’d played Season 1 with our son at the start of COVID, which gave us a sense of agency. This version is a prequel that takes place in 1962. You’re playing doctors recruited to the CIA. Instead of disease cubes, you’re trying to fight off Soviet agents. However, since an outbreak would send disease to neighboring cities, and Soviet agents don’t work that way (that we know of), there’s a new mechanic for bad stuff that happens instead. Each player has a passport for their character. Each passport has pages for 3 different aliases you can take (Allied, Neutral, and Soviet). You’ll need to create and direct teams to complete objectives.
Highly recommended. If you’re interested, here’s the Shut Up & Sit Down review.
We haven’t played Season 2 yet, but have the box ready. Technically its a present for my wife (shhh! it’s a secret). Yes, I know that it won’t be as good, and have adjusted expectations accordingly.
