The game is on the way. This is the longest Pandemic game we've ever played, approx 120 minutes.

The game end in a bad situation.

We are try to put all cubes into the outbreak areas even there is not enough cubes to do so. We use others color cubes to make the end game scene and just wanted to see how bad is it.

And here is the final board. Pretty bad is it?

Description: This time, the 7th game, we decided not to use the ultimate role combo to play with this "Mutation Challenge" and we still win against the game due to the normal level we play with.

Description: The 6th game of the night. A 4P game. With "On the Brink" expansion, play "Virulent Strain Challenge". 5 Epidemic Cards in play. Easy enough for us to win against the game when we got the best roles combo in play.

Containment Specialist + Dispatcher + Field Operative + Researcher.

Trust me, try this combo and with as many Epidemic Cards in play, you will still win the game easily. This is the weakness of Pandemic.

Arthur and Phang making their moves.

Virulent Strain Challenge.

One of the most powerful role from base game if match with any role from "On the Brink" expansion.

Containment Specialist, the second most powerful role from "On the Brink" expansion. Field Operative is still the best.

Just the blue cure to be discover and the board is just fine even the cubes are everywhere.

Description:

1. First game - Played a 2 players game with Phang, using 5 Epidemic cards. Me as the Medic and Phang as the Archivist (On the Brink expansion's role). No purple disease in play. We succeed to cure 2 diseases but lose to the Outbreaks within 20 minutes.

2. Second game - Adam came and join us as the 3rd player with the role of Generalist (On the Brink expansion's role), still again with no purple disease in play. Me and Phang used our previous roles, everything else unchanged. This time, we plan ahead and take every action carefully. We won! But play it wrongly 'cos we thought everyone has the power of the Researcher (You may give a player cards from your hand for 1 action per card / Both of your pawns must be in the same city, but it doesn't matter which city you are in). That's why we could win this easily. Shame on us didn't check out the rules earlier. We will definately play it right next time.

End game scores:

1. First game - The game defeated the players.

2. Second game - The players defeated the game (cheated unintended).

Succeeded cure the 1st disease (red / H1N1?).

Game end! All 4 diseases cured! We won!

The board at game end.
