You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I think we stick to the plan too. We might get a hit in the short term, but ultimately we need cures to end the game.

All right then. My actions are:

Move to Miami

Move to Bogota

Pass Bogota card to Medic

Move to Sao Paulo

bt, depending on the consequences of this, you might consider treating in Bogota before you move.

Hit it, Gud.

Okay. Our Medic now has 3 yellow cards and you are in San Paulo. You drew St. Petersburg(Blue) and Kinshasa(Yellow).

So then, Istanbul and Tehran had infections and Asia is getting overrun by Zombies. Istanbul was an outbreak, and now Tehran is on the brink.

So here's the situation...

Bingo! Medic, grab the card from me and head to Kinshasa. We should be able to have our first cure on your next turn.

It has been done. Medic Gestalt has nine cards now, so you'll need to discard two.

The Gestalt says, we'll always have Paris. Only not really because we discard it. And Madrid. I figure with two red cards in the hands of the astonishingly muggable Researcher, I should think about the red cure after having done with Yellow.

The Medic Gestalt has discarded Paris and Madrid. After that infections spread in Lima and Mexico City.

Things are looking like this now:

My thought is that I need to clear black cubes because things are on the brink in three cities in central Asia and we're down to 9 black cubes.

I could triple treat Mumbai and move to Karachi get closer to everybody. I could also treat Mumbai then hop over to Tehran and treat there to take two cities off the brink.

I feel like treating two cities is probably a good idea at this point.
