Pandemic
In Pandemic, you and your friends become the leading specialists responsible for stopping the rampant spread of viruses. Team up with your fellow doctors and researchers to combat the pandemic before time runs out or before you all succumb to the illness yourselves. Pandemic is a board game that features a world map and a series of “specialist” players.
The game is collaborative, and each member of the team has to utilize a strategy to assist in curing the spread of disease; i.e. the operations specialist can travel the board to create research stations and try to find a cure. Players draw cards every turn that either assist in their search or accelerate the spread of infection. If the players can work together and cure the disease before the time runs out, they all win.
