Things seem pretty stable board-wise. So I'm back!

Yellow cards discarded. The Yellow Doom spreads in Miami, and Zombies break containment in Mumbai putting the city on the edge.

I guess it's my turn. I could treat Algiers once, burn Chennai, move to Mumbai, and treat it once to give us some insurance against an epidemic.

Or.... I could treat Algiers once, burn Seoul, move to Hong Kong and let the QS take Chennai on her turn.

Given that no one else has ANY Black cards, I'm inclined to say save Chennai and get it to QS. Note that I can burn Bangkok or Airlift and clear Mumbai on my turn, which is next.

I think that makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, I say get to the QS, especially given that there is nothing currently around Mumbai. Then we have lots of options for the Medic and Ops Ex. On my turn I can build a station anywhere we need and still treat something once.

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

I'd be happy for the company. Sounds like a plan.

Alternatively, you could burn Madrid for your move rather than Seoul, which given we have the Blue cure ready to go and a research station right next door, might be a good choice.

Oooh. I like that idea. Little setback as my computer died, but hopefully I will be able to fix it soon.

Yes, I really like the idea of burning Madrid. You could either treat both Algiers and Mumbai once by doing that. Or, treat Algiers once and head straight to Hong Kong and hand off the Chennai card. Then, if you draw black, we'd be at a cure on the QS's turn.
