Yeah, ending on NYC so I can pass the card on my way to London sounds good.

Ok, presuming this plan is okay with the Researcher...

Double move to the Great White North
Grab Montréal from the Medic
Head to NY to get a real bagel (That's right, I said it.) and await the Medic

The Researcher approves this plan.

The Ops Expert takes a bus to Chicago and then boards a train for Montreal. He stops at the bar in a Mariott next to the airport to meet up with the Medic and get the lowdown on the public health situation in the city. Then he hops on a Jazz flight to New York on a Bombardier CRJ900 and gets a real bagel.

The Ops Expert then draws Manila (Red) and an event One Quiet Night.

I feel I should ask if we want to use On Quiet Night even though I'm pretty sure the answer will be no.

I advise against it.

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

PANDEMIC

Agreed. Better to save it for a possible future crisis.

Okay, let's do some infecting. The Red Death spreads in Shanghai putting the city on the brink, and also in Manila.

I'm thinking the Researcher should follow the suggestion about burning LA and taking Algiers off the brink. I figure Shanghai isn't an immediate threat, and we're working on curing the Blue Fever.

Yes, and the QS can get to the Shanghai zone easily on the next turn to hold off any damage. Or, since I hold Manila, I could build a station there if no one else draws a blue for me before that. I'll need to discard something soon anyway so it might as well be on my turn.
