This game is quite intense. (We actually played it about a week before the REAL pandemic of 2020 started!!!!!) It takes team work and smart thinking, but is also fun and engaging and clever.

This game is a family favorite (13 year old boy and 11 year old girl) because you work together to win the game! This is an extra perk for my daughter who is a perfectionist and has the tendency to shut down on a game if she is losing (we are working on that but it’s easier said than done). It also promotes creative thinking and problem solving skills. Not to mention the need to have clear communication between players, and negotiating/compromising between plans of attack.

My family loves this game! It’s unique because it’s a cooperative game, meaning we all have to work as a team to win, but it’s still very interesting and challenging. I’d say it’s best for ages 10 and up, and kids will most likely need more guidance to participate- but that works, since each player’s turn involves the whole team collaborating anyway. I’d recommend this game to friends!

We love this game because it is a great game for only two players. Our kids are too little to play (5, 4, and 2), but it is our go to game for a little date night at home after the kids go to bed!!

This is a favorite co-operative game of our teen! It’s his choice every time. It is fast paced, full of suspense and challenge too! We usually win about 75% of the time. It’s for a good amount of people, so families can play. It’s a bit much for my almost 7 year old, but she teams up with someone else usually (doesn’t keep her attention fully), but my 10 year old can play on his own. Each game is different depending on what character you get, how the epidemic cards are pulled and you can increase the difficulty by adding more epidemic cards. Always fun and we recommend!

I bought this game primarily for us adults, but my kids ages 7 and 10 enjoy playing it with us. We love that it is a cooperative game where we all work together to prevent disease outbreaks and end the pandemics. What makes it fun each time you play is that you end up with a different combination of player roles, which are the special powers each player has to help cure diseases. It works as a two player game, but it is easier to win with more players. Would definitely recommend this game!
