Alternatively, it's a bit of a hike, but on his next turn the CP could make it over to St Petersburg and build a station there. I can then do the Red cure on my next turn and clear out Istanbul on the way. That'd put all of us in research stations at that point, so it'd be relatively easy to get together and swap cards.
PANDEMIC
Ugh, I was looking at an image one turn back. Yeah, I should just head to Osaka. Normally, I would say save One Quiet Night, but since we have a CP who can reuse it, it might be worth it to play now. If we get a double outbreak, we've only got two outbreaks left. OTOH, there are plenty of red cubes even with a double outbreak so maybe we should wait for a more dire situation. It neither Taipei or Osaka come up at the end of this turn we'll be in great shape.
Really would like to get to a point where Mr. Medic can cure red on his next turn. The CP could build a research station in Khartoum though that will take 4 actions.
PANDEMIC
The CP could build a research station in Khartoum though that will take 4 actions.
I think St Petersburg might be a better location. It's closer to the Black hotspot, and I can cure Istanbul on my way there. But it'd still take him four actions.
PANDEMIC
That would burn a blue card instead of a yellow, but it is pretty unlikely the CP could hold onto both blue cards and still build up the cards to cure black.
PANDEMIC
I assume One Quiet Night means no new infections this turn? I'd say go ahead and use it, we're still kind of precarious.
PANDEMIC
Yeah, let's do it.
Play One Quiet Night

PANDEMIC
The night is quiet.
I flew to Osaka, treated, then took a boat to Taipei and treated there as well. Then I drew Montreal and Washington, and plague spread in Madrid and Paris.
The CP may now use an action to retrieve the One Quiet Night card from the discard pile until it has been retrieved.
I really like the idea of a research station in St. Petersburg now that the Researcher has three blue cards. A blue cure feels a lot closer.
PANDEMIC
plague spread in Madrid and Paris
I beg your pardon?
PANDEMIC
The One Quiet Night was just on my/our turn. Those are the infection cards for the Researcher's turn.
PANDEMIC
Oh, I misread the turn, NVM. I'm going to leave the Event Card in the discards for now, I can't spare an action from:
Triple move to St Petersburg
Build Research Center in St Petersburg.
