Holy crap, this game.
I can’t talk about the moments in this game that make it one of the most overwhelmingly insane experiences I’ve ever had. I can’t talk about the moment that my wife and I literally were left speechless by a revelation in the gameplay. I can’t tell you about 90% of the details of this game, because Pandemic Legacy is a game that can be spoiled, and should never be spoiled.
I can tell you that buying this game will be one of the best experiences you’ll have this year, or any other.
Pandemic Legacy is a game that rejects the concept of a game being an isolated event. Every time you play chess, it begins exactly the same way. Every time you begin nearly every game, it begins essentially the same way. Every single game of Pandemic Legacy changes the game in fundamental ways, and every single game of Pandemic Legacy is different than any other.
The original game of Pandemic is a terrific game in its own right. Players work together as representatives of the CDC (Center for Disease Control), trying to stop the spread of four deadly pathogens exploding in cities around the world. The rules are tremendously simple, and the game wonderfully challenging. It’s a great game, and I’d recommend it to anyone. It’s also a pale and empty shadow compared to Rob Daviau and Matt Leacock’s newest evolution of this game. Pandemic Legacy tells the story of “the worst year in the history of the CDC”. While it begins as a standard game of Pandemic, by the end of the first game, the rules will have changed in a very shocking and fundamental way.
The game takes place over twelve months. If the players are victorious, the story progresses to the next month. If they fail, they get one chance to attempt that month again, with a second failure moving them to the next month. The game has an outstanding mechanic to constantly adjust the difficulty, making sure that it never becomes too simple or too difficult, and the constant evolutions to the rules and mechanics are flawlessly executed. Pandemic Legacy is a unique, dizzying, and thrilling experience that is unlike anything you’ve experienced. If I could, it would be my holiday gift to everyone I know, because I can’t think of anyone that wouldn’t be blown away by this game.
