Ah, pity. I'd hoped you'd build a research station before passing cards. That would've let me cure Taipei on my next turn at least.

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

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So I found I'm enjoying AC Odyssey a lot more after turning the difficulty down to Easy. I don't normally like to do that, but I really don't care for the combat in this game, so fights ending quicker so I can spend more time exploring and following the story has increased my ability to enjoy the game a lot.

Ah shoot, I did that real quick to squeeze in a turn while working. Didn't look over my options very well.

Maybe if we (finally) get an event card we'll find another option. Failing that, you'll still be able to cure both Taipei and Osaka on your next turn.

All right then. I will:
Double Move to Madrid
Double Cure Madrid.
I support having Contingency Orders for event cards.

After moving and curing, you have drawn Moscow(Black) and Kolkata(Black). You'll need to discard one card before the infecting takes place.

I believe we're unlikely to need Johannesburg so I'll go ahead and dump them.

Oh, and if you jump to Milan and we converge on St Petersburg, I think a Black cure may be closer than we anticipated.

Johannesburg has been discarded. Then plague spread in Istanbul which resulted in an outbreak, leaving central Asia... suboptimal.
Plague also spread in Mexico City which, well it isn't good, but doesn't pose any particular problem.
I think the top priority needs to be killing zombies in central Asia. If Algiers comes up, it's the end of the world.

Ugh. OK, how about this:
Medic: Grab two Red, teleport to Osaka, cure Osaka
Researcher: Teleport to Milan, move to Istabul, treat Constantinople
CP: Move to Algiers and treat Algiers
As useful as the Medic would be in Asia Minor, they have no cards to get there and Osaka-Taipei is also pretty dangerous.
