Pandemic Legacy: Season 1

About this board game

Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 is a highly immersive and dynamic board game that takes you on a thrilling adventure around the globe. It’s inspired by the classic game of Pandemic, but takes it to a whole new level with an engaging storyline and evolving game mechanics.

The game is set in a world gripped by a series of devastating diseases. As members of a skilled response team, your mission is to prevent a global pandemic, treat hotspots of infection, and find the cure to save humanity.

What makes Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 truly unique is its ‘legacy’ mechanic. Unlike traditional board games, the decisions you make, the victories and losses, have lasting impact. This is reflected in the game through the use of stickers, permanent modifications to the game board, and even the destruction of certain components. These changes are irreversible, making each game an exciting, high-stakes experience.

The core mechanics of the game remain true to the original Pandemic. You and your team must work cooperatively, using your unique abilities strategically to combat the diseases. Each player gets a specific role like the Scientist, the Medic, or the Quarantine Specialist, each with different strengths.

• Turns: On your turn, you can perform up to four actions, such as traveling to cities, treating infected populations, and sharing information with your team.
• Disease Spread: After each player’s turn, new cities are infected based on cards drawn from the infection deck, which can lead to outbreaks and escalate the diseases’ spread.
• Curing Diseases: To cure a disease, players must collect and discard five cards of the same color while at a research station.
• Winning the Game: You win the game by discovering the cure for all four diseases. But be aware – there are multiple ways to lose, adding to the game’s suspense.

What sets Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 apart is the unfolding narrative that takes place over a ‘year’ of gameplay. Each game represents a month, and consequences from one game carry over to the next. This gripping narrative, combined with the tense, cooperative gameplay, makes Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 a truly memorable board game experience.
