Pandemic the board game

I was one of the last people to pick my board game for project 2 not knowing that the library had very interesting board games. As the person at the desk brought the games out for me to see I instantly saw Pandemic stand out with its yellow and red lettering. The visuals also stood out to me with 4 characters you had looks of urgency on their faces. It was so cool to play a game about something that the whole world is going through. Pandemic is described as a cooperative game because you can lose as a team or win as a team. Each player (there are 7 to chose from) has a certain job that they have to complete throughout the game. 

There are 4 different diseases that the elite team of disease-fighters has to find a cure for. The board game is a map of the whole world so you never know which part of the world can be affected by deadly diseases. One thing that I found that was interesting about Pandemic was it was created by Matt Leacock in 2008 years before the actual Pandemic happened, I looked at an interview that Matt had done recently and he describes the reasoning behind why he made the game “It was to give a perspective of if the world was to have a real Pandemic”. I think this game does a good job of portraying that.
