Normally, Pandemic is a four player game, but we had the expansion, On The Brink, which allows for a fifth player. Pandemic is quite possibly my most favoritest game ever. If you are not familiar with Pandemic, there is an *excellent* youtube video you should watch:
In fact, all the TableTop videos are awesome, you should watch them all, like them all, and subscribe to Geek and Sundry.
The expansion really should be called "New and More Interesting Ways to Die"
On The Brink is neat because it's kind of like three expansions in one. You can choose to play with a virulent strain, bioterrorist, or mutation. So far the only one we've tried is virulent strain, in which one of the diseases becomes virulent, meaning that each epidemic card introduces a new effect related to one color. Last night, this was the yellow fever. So there we were, with one disease left to cure, when the final epidemic of the game hit, produced multiple outbreaks, and everyone died a horrible death. Fin.
After a short break, we recovered our wits, and played Tsuro.
Roar! I'm a dragon!
In Tsuro, you are a dragon flying along a path. You build your path tile by tile, but watch out! If your path leads you to another dragon or off the board, you're out of the game. Last man standing, or last dragon afloat, wins the game. It's short, it's straightforward, and can have up to eight players. It's also a good way to mentally recover from Pandemic.
Whee! Flying dragons!
