Pandemic

There are four diseases causing chaos around the world. It is up to the players to keep them under control and from reaching global catastrophe. In Pandemic, players will each assume the role of a specialist in their field, working together with the other players as a team to find cures for these four diseases. Each role has a special ability that they bring to the table. The players will lose if one disease gets too out of hand, too many outbreaks happen, or if the players take too long to cure the diseases. But if they can work together and find a cure for all four of the diseases, they will win the game.

Objective

Cure all four diseases from the board before they take over.
