The legacy aspect modifies the original Pandemic’s premise in interesting and increasingly complicated ways. It is used to tell a story across multiple play sessions. Now, instead of dealing with an individual global disease event that is resolved one way or another at game end, you and your fellow heroes are working across an in-game year to cure four diseases and get to the bottom of exactly what is going on.

The sense of exploration is what truly sets Season Two apart from its forebear. The main board begins almost entirely hidden, with only a handful of cities in four regions open for access. As players use the new recon skill, they uncover chunks of land that join the game, connecting to extra locations that can be searched using a second action to scratch off panels on their cards and trigger constantly surprising secrets, ranging from extra atmospheric dressing to major twists and gameplay additions. Unlike Pandemic’s fixed map, players here can create their own structure of routes, resulting in a world that – even more so than in the first game – feels dynamically shaped by the actions of each group. Gameplay is straightforward, with each unique investigator – a number of familiar faces from Arkham Horror and Eldritch Horror make an appearance – moving around, interacting with objects and, when it comes to it, fighting off otherworldly creatures. Pandemic: Hot Zone - Europe (July 2021) [48] features “Mutation” challenge cards, each of which apply special rules to one of the diseases. [49]In base Pandemic, the diseases are represented by simple, colored cubes. Because Season 0 is all about stopping the Soviets, they’ve replaced those cubes with red secret agent miniatures, which make it all feel much more thematic than other iterations. But the cherry on top are the new character cards that each player gets.

Once you get to the end of Season 0 is there post-campaign content or the ability to keep playing? Or does it come to a full stop? Best Legacy Board Games of 2019 (Updated Mar. 19) - Top 10 Review".

Over the course of a year-long campaign, you'll be tasked with missions that fling you to the far corners of the globe from the familiar hallways of Washington D.C. to the desolate tundra of Siberia. Each success or failure will bring you closer to the truth—about the Soviets, MEDUSA, and even your fellow agents.After Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 it felt like there was a burst of “legacy” games. And now there seems to be a new trend of legacy-adjacent games - games such as Oath where there are repercussions into future playthroughs, but no destructible components or permanent changes. On the other hand, you have experiences such as the Exit: The Game series, which are similar to legacy games because you're tearing things up, but they’re designed for a single play rather than a campaign. How do you feel about where legacy gaming has come in the last five years as you've designed these three games and looked at - or at least been surrounded by - other legacy games? We had to push ourselves to find new and interesting mechanisms and storytelling structure so that this felt different than the other two games. That you weren't sitting down and just having the exact same thing a third time. Knowing this was the last one made that easier. If this was three out of eight I don't know where we'd be right now. Also remember that Share Knowledge works for giving or taking a card. So on my turn, I can use an action to give the Sydney card to my friend who is also in Sydney; or, on their turn, they can use an action to take the Sydney card from me.

Looking from the outside in, it seems that Matt is more of a mechanism-focused designer while Rob comes more from the storytelling side. Since you've started collaborating, have you found yourselves exploring the other side more - with the added knowledge or insight into how the other does something? Does that include the fact that it was going to be a prequel? You knew that it was going to be 1, 2, 0?
