PANDEMIC
My plan is to steal a blue card from the researcher, cure blue (which should also clear Atlanta because of Medic superpowers), then move to New York which will clear it. I could also clear Beijing instead of New York which would leave me closer to a station for quick travel. Though with the Dispatcher, that may not be a big deal. If I draw a black card, then it would probably be up the Dispatcher to put me in the right spot.
PANDEMIC
I vote New York. NYC could reappear after the next epidemic, Beijing will only do so if it is the next epidemic.
Plus, after this, I think Zombieland is the game, and from New York you could walk there.
PANDEMIC
Good point. I keep forgetting the Beijing situation is purely a product of outbreaks.
PANDEMIC
I vote New York. NYC could reappear after the next epidemic, Beijing will only do so if it is the next epidemic.
I agree. Plus, New York, New York is a helluva town.

Prince Noctis of Dispatchistan endorses the Manhattan Project.
PANDEMIC
The Medic consults with the Researcher about COVID in St. Petersburg and makes a critical deduction resulting in the cure for COVID. The cure is quickly distributed in Atlanta, being the home of the CDC and all. The Medic then rents a car and drives to New York. There he explains the cure so well that it literally takes no time to rid the city of disease.
Then he draws Milan (Blue) and Montreal (Blue). Meanwhile, the red death reappears in Tokyo and the yellow plague emerges in Santiago.
The Situation:
PANDEMIC
Well, that wasn't very dramatic.
PANDEMIC
Hmm. It looks like I can either:
Double Move to Mumbai, treat Mumbai once, Dispatch myself to Cairo, then the scientist can grab my card on her turn,
OR
Dispatch to Cairo, pass card, move to Algiers, treat once.
Any opinion on which of those cities is in more danger?
PANDEMIC
I think they are equally dangerous.
PANDEMIC
Another option would be to dispatch to Cairo, share the card, then go to Baghdad and dispatch the Researcher to Cairo. That doesn't take another city off the brink, but that puts you in Baghdad on a research station if you draw Baghdad (which I don't think has been drawn yet) which is a 12% chance. The researcher can then share a card, move to Algiers, treat once, move back to Cairo. Then if the Researcher gets any black cards the scientist and pick it up, move to Baghdad, and win the game.
