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.

I treated Mumbai, used 2 actions to move to Tehran, and then treated Tehran. I then drew Chennai(Black) and Hong Kong(Red). Infection spread in Paris and Bogota.

So two cities came off the brink and one went on the brink (Bogota).

Here's the situation...

Hmm...

This is tricky...

If the CP gives the Medic Kinshasa, then we still need to get the Medic to a research station for a cure. The Medic could burn his Shanghai card to fly there, move to Taipei, create a research station, and cure yellow. But that means he'll have burned 3 red cards (Tokyo would have to be discarded on getting Kinshasa). We can only burn 6 cards of any color and still have enough for a cure.

We'll have to be really careful with red cards, but it cleans up the medics hand and he won't have to discard two cards at the end of his turn.

Course, that depends on what happens during the CPs turn. He could have a crisis pop up.

Any other ideas?
