-It is best if you (or someone you're playing with) have played enough rounds of Pandemic to be familiar with the rules before playing this game. It makes the game very easy to pick up and get quickly into.
-This is an incredibly well-produced legacy game. The legacy deck and top secret dossiers make the development of the game/story easy to follow. The only legacy game I had played before this one was Charterstone, and, though Charterstone was good, this one leaves it in the dust. There is a reason why this game is consistently #1 or 2 on Board Game Geek.
-You don't have to love Pandemic to enjoy this game. I like Pandemic, but it is not in my top 10. This game is easily amongst my favorites I have ever played.
-If you don't have a consistent crowd, it is easy to add or subtract players from round to round. Obviously, the experience is better if everyone can be there for each game, but if someone needs to drop out or an extra joins up late, it will be no problem.
-The game works really well with two players. The only drawback is that there are some roles that don't work as well with only two players, and some months where one of you may feel obligated to take a certain role.
-Very highly recommend for anyone who isn't turned off by the theme. My wife refuses to play it simply because it is about a pandemic. If this doesn't bother you, get a good group, and enjoy!
Works great for two players. I was a little worried at first that it might be more properly designed for four players, but no, it's eminently playable by two. And, frankly, a great game for couples, since you're working and collaborating together.
Be careful with the rules. One small downside is it's very easy to miss a rule here or there. The rulebook, to some extent, seems to assume some knowledge of the basic Pandemic game. We played a few practice games before beginning the "Legacy" rules, and it's definitely worth doing so. In fact, we lost our practice games, but had a nice string of wins once we started the legacy rules, so the practice was good for that reason too.
Avoid spoilers. Although I enjoyed reading other people's accounts of their play-through, I was careful to read the months that we had already completed, rather than looking at spoilers. It turned out to be well-worth it. The game has some twists that are pretty epic and you'll really get the full experience of it if you don't see them coming. Also, we enjoyed many conversations speculating as to what was coming and trying to prepare for it. We were sometimes right and sometimes wrong, and that's really part of the game.
Don't be turned off by the destructive "one play" aspect of Legacy rules. Really, it's worth it. It's a bit like watching a movie you love or tv-show you love. It's true, once you've seen it, you've seen it, and you can't recover that first experience of not knowing what's coming, but that doesn't lessen the experience.
Play Carefully! One of the things we noticed was that as the series of games went on, we were going slower and slower with each game. Part of that may have been increasing complexity of the rules, but mostly it was us taking more time to plan our moves carefully. The desire to win our final month kept growing as it approached, particularly with all the work preparing for it.
Anyway, if you take the plunge, I know you'll enjoy it. Unquestionably, one of the best game purchases I've ever made.
For those who don't know how Pandemic works, it's all the players "against the board". Each round a player performs actions, and then cards are flipped to "advance" the diseases you're attempting to prevent. The end game is simple, stop the diseases from getting out of control. However, the gameplay is way more fun than that sounds, as you typically discuss (and sometimes argue) next steps and calculated risks, determining if it's worth taking the time to do X or Y, and each players turn causes you to re-think strategy. A typicaly round of gameplay takes an hour, and it feels like 5 minutes.
Pandemic Legacy adds an additional twist. You play out "months" in the game. Win in January, and move on to the February story. Lose in January, you can retry it one, but the board is altered on each gameplay, meaning that you always have to live with your losses. As the story progresses, you open new boxes\cards to advance the story and the playstyle, and the end-game for each "month" is always different. One month, you may need to eradicate a disease, the next it may be to setup some structures. You don't stick to one play style to win, you constantly change who you are and what you do.
The hardest thing about the game is that you "destroy" things.. and believe me, it's hard! At some points in the game youre instructed to take certain play pieces and rip em up, since as the story evolves, certain opening game play pieces don't apply anymore.
It's a really well done game and totally worth the $60 (or whatever it is now). You play through at a minimum of 12 times, and each playthrough is unique. If you haven't played the original Pandemic, you may want to go online for a primer first, but Pandemic Legacy is an awesome party game and a great way to kill time with friends and family.
