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.

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

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.

Sounds good to me. I really think Red Cure should be our next priority, given the cards we have.

I think that sounds good. On my next turn I'm planning to cure Osaka and head towards Bangkok; if you're headed that way too, you can slip me some Red cards if there's the opportunity.

I made my moves. Treat Tehran, double move to Mumbai and treat Mumbai. I then drew Miami(Yellow) and Osaka(Red). Plague spreads in Taipei and Essen.

Where are those event cards?

We are doing ridiculously poorly for event cards, which is particularly damaging given we have a Contingency Planner. (Speaking of, I figure our CP should use their turn to take either Istanbul or Bogota off the boil. Maybe Bogota? There's no one else around there and we have the cure for that one.)

Getting ahead of things a little, but Research person, I'm thinking on my turn I move to Chennai, curing Bangkok on the way. On your turn, if you come to Chennai, build a research station and pass me Red cards, on my turn after that I can take whatever remaining Red I need and make the cure. How's that sound?

I endorse the Chennai plan. In the meantime, my orders are:

Triple move to Bogota

Treat Bogota, clearing it with the cure.
