PANDEMIC

The Medic is airlifted to Santiago to cleanse disease to the masses.

It all comes down to this turn. If the world doesn't end during my turn, we win.

PANDEMIC

The Researcher moves to St. Petersburg, cures the blue plague, and then travels to Atlanta. Then the Researcher draws Sydney and... an Epidemic.

Three blue cubes are added to Milan, then the first infection drawn is Madrid which outbreaks. And so the world ends...

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

PANDEMIC

Missed by one turn! Aw, man.

If the card had been just one turn away, we would've won with at least 13 cities on three cubes.

Thanks very much for running the game, Gud! (Ryan says thanks too.) That was great fun.

Thanks, Gud. Maybe play again when I'm done sulking.

Thanks for playing. I really enjoyed it. If that epidemic card had just been one card deeper...

I'd be happy to run another game if 2-4 people are interested in playing.

I'd be up for it. Although I have never played before, I am currently sheltering-in-place with someone who doesn't like to play games unless ND is proposing them (@@ forever) and am a bit game-deprived.

We'd be happy to play again. Which I think means we now have on board everyone who's run a game in this thread.

OMG, that was so long ago! I was still at my old publishing job, killing time while waiting for a sales-based bonus that I knew would be huge before decamping for greener pastures. Good times.
