Uh, Gud? Is there some reason he can't build a station in Kinshasa and cure Yellow there?

Building the station will use the Kinshasa card, so he'll just have four at that point.

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

We can only burn 6 cards of any color and still have enough for a cure.

By my count we can burn seven cards, not that that's much better. I think we have to take the risk; the longer it takes for me to get to a research station by other means, the longer I'm burning discards. You have three Red cards in your hand, which will be relatively easy to pass off to anyone who gets just two Red cards in their hand. We should be able to avoid discarding much more Red, is my thinking.

Anyway, I believe I need to make a discard at this point, and regardless of what I do on my turn, I think the obvious choice is to burn Tokyo.

Yep, you're right. I was thinking it was 11 cards of each color, but it's 12.

Gud, you there? I think we're waiting on the cards at the end of my turn?

Yep, yep, somehow overlooked that you gave me your instructions.

You drew Khartoum(Yellow) and San Francisco(Blue). Meanwhile, plague spread in Mumbai (now on the brink) and New York (also now on the brink).

Where the heck are the event cards? We have to get one at some point.

I think if bt goes through with the Taipei plan you should probably start heading his way - you can do a little stopgap in Mumbai aong the way to getting him your red cards. I'll probably head to Istanbul and hold the zombies back as best I can while we work out the next plan.

The Medic has cured the yellow disease! The new cards are Buenos Aires(Yellow) and Seoul(Red). Meanwhile plague spreads in Bangkok (outbreak!) and Lagos.

Here's the situation.

I'm not seeing a lot I can do on this turn. I could treat Tehran, move to Mumbai, and treat once at Mumbai. That will take Mumbai off the brink and bring our black plague supply back up to 12.
