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.
I am running through Season 1 with my wife currently going into March. We won the first to games and I keep expecting the game to ruin us with package 8 sitting there like an omen. I’d eventually like to do the other seasons with her as well.
It is so worth it. The best times I’ve had gaming were with Pandemic Legacy. Have fun!
