PANDEMIC
The One Quiet Night was just on my/our turn. Those are the infection cards for the Researcher's turn.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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

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.

The CP moved to St. Petersburg and build a research station. After that Khartoum was drawn and then all hell broke loose. An epidemic was drawn, placing three yellow cubes in Kinshasa.
Then came three infections. The first hit Istanbul which was an outbreak. The next hit Lagos, putting it on the brink. And then, came Kinshasa, which was an outbreak and caused Lagos to outbreak.
It's bad.

I think the medic has to clear Cairo and Baghdad. If we somehow make it to the Researcher's turn I can defuse New York. At that point, the CP can get One Quiet Night and defuse Paris. Maybe we'll have gotten another event card by then and we might still have a chance.

Yeah, we're doomed. Ah well. I agree, we need to put out fires as far as possible. The Red cure will have to wait.
Move to Cairo
Cure Cairo
Move to Baghdad

The Medic visits Cairo and Baghdad, curing all. Then Manila(Red) and Algiers(Black) are drawn. A couple of cards will need to be discarded.

Discard Lima and Manila. I wouldn't mind being able to bounce to Yellow in a hurry, but we already have that cure and South America is the least of our worries right now.

The world didn't end!
Infection spread in Osaka, putting it on the brink. Also in Santiago, putting it on the brink. And finally in Madrid, putting it on the brink.

The Researcher needs to do some thinking.
The infection discard pile has Madrid, Kinshasa, Lagos, Santiago, Istanbul, and Osaka.
There's still an epidemic left, but if we draw that it's all over anyhow so we might as well assume it won't come up.

I can reach any city on the board with one action left (by burning Washington). I'm thinking about moving to New York and defusing it since I don't have to burn Washington to do that. Maybe someone can come up with something more clever, so I'll just put that idea on simmer for now.
