Pandemic Legacy is a co-operative campaign game with an overarching story arc played through 12-24 sessions depending on how well your group does at the game. At the beginning the game starts in a very similar fashion as basic Pandemic in which your team of disease-fighting specialists races against the clock to travel around the world treating disease hot spots while researching cures for each of four plagues before they get out of hand.During a player's turn they have four actions available with which they may travel around in the world in various ways (sometimes needing to discard a card) build structures like research stations treat diseases (removing one cube from the board; if all cubes of a color have been removed the disease has been eradicated) trade cards with other players or find a cure for a disease (requiring five cards of the same color to be discarded while at a research station). Each player has a unique role with special abilities to help them at these actions.After a player has taken their actions they draw two cards. These cards can include epidemic cards which will place new disease cubes on the board and can lead to an outbreak spreading disease cubes even further. Outbreaks additionally increase the panic level of a city making that city more expensive to travel to.Each month in the game you have two chances to achieve that month's objectives. If you succeed you win and immediately move on to the next month. If you fail you have a second chance with more funding for beneficial event cards.During the campaign new rules and components will be introduced. These will sometimes require you to permanently alter the components of the game; this includes writing on cards ripping up cards and placing permanent stickers on components. Your characters can gain new skills or detrimental effects. A character can even be lost entirely at which point it's no longer available for play.Part of the Pandemic series

The Dispatcher for example can spend dice to fly others around the board while the Medic is particularly adept at treating disease. Players can roll their dice as often as they like but the more times they re-roll for the perfect turn the more likely the next epidemic will occur.At the end of each turn new infection dice are rolled to determine the type and location of newly infected populations. If any region on the board is infected with more than three dice of a given color an outbreak occurs spreading disease into an adjacent region. If too many outbreaks take place too many people get infected or the rate of infection gets too high all the players lose.

As you work through surface-level Manifest dreams into deep-seated Latent dreams these Insights will help your clients reach catharsis. This is represented by lifting transparent layers from the client cards—unlocking their ongoing special abilities and end-game scoring opportunities.Once the group has solidified its reputation the end of the game is signaled and the member with the most points wins.—description from the publisher

Raxxon is a 1-4 player cooperative card game set in the Dead of Winter universe at the start of the zombie apocalypse. Players each choose one of six different specialists assisting Raxxon with the evacuation of healthy citizens from among the sick. Citizens take the form of face-down square cards in a grid. Through game actions these can be flipped to reveal whether they are sick or healthy. There are various types of sick and healthy cards each triggering different effects when flipped or killed. Flip too many Chaotic sick and you'll add more citizens to the crowd or even end the round prematurely. Killing off the healthy can have similar negative effects.Each round begins by creating a crowd - a grid of citizens from the citizen deck. Players take turns performing one action at a time after resolving any consequences marked on their character sheet. Character actions are powerful effects (kill quarantine evacuate etc) that interact spatially with the crowd (killing a row or column evacuating one card and adjacent cards of your choice) and have stacking consequences. At the start of each turn a player must resolve all their consequences from previous turns (flip citizens add citizens infect citizens lose evacuated citizens etc) before performing another action - and adding another consequence. Some consequences require players to draw Raxxon cards. Much like Crossroads cards from Dead of Winter Raxxon cards feature stories relating to characters in play. Many have multiple parts with different outcomes depending on the choices players make. Often the choices that make the game easier also grants power to the Raxxon corporation which can lead to defeat. Consequences don't clear until that player passes for the round.Once all players have passed the citizen deck is rebuilt using remaining cards in the deck the discard new sick citizens loosely quarantined citizens and any cards still in the grid. The deck is shuffled and used to create a new crowd at the start of the next round. Players win when all healthy citizens are evacuated. Players lose if the infection deck runs out (the deck of only sick people added to the citizen deck each round) or Raxxon maxes out on power and takes over the city.Part of the Dead of Winter series.Two promos for Dead of Winter are included in the box: KD James and Meryl Wolfe.

Each citizen can have one of two potion types played onto it and you play each token face down so you know the personality of the citizen but none of the other players do. Once all citizens on two of the scene cards are covered with potions all potions are resolved in the following order:Place winning potions on the corresponding scene in the kingdom.. If a melancholic token sneaks away place the potion on an adjacent scene connected by a path or bridge. After all potions have been placed see whether you've completed any of the four randomized goals on display such as having a potion on each of the six map tiles or occupying two pairs of locations that are connected by bridges. Then reveal four new scene cards and begin another round.When a player completes an objective the first party tile is resolved. Party tiles are similar to scenes with citizens but they are available to play onto on your turn at any point in the game.

Your day job fiercely competes for every bit of free time and patience with the demands of family life and the lure of hobbies. The consequences of wild nightlife sloth and other sins are barely balanced by the occasional burst of sport activity and more-or-less random jabs at a healthy lifestyle.Sound familiar? No we are not talking about your life but about what you are up against in Infarkt (Heart Attack) a party game in which you want to be the last one left at the party – literally.Each player has an individual player board on which she'll track her blood pressure depression lung health weight and so on. Everyone starts out as healthy as possible with some money ($1) in the pocket too. Each round a number of event cards equal to one more than the number of players is revealed. In turn each player will choose an event card and suffer the effects of that card moving her health indicators as needed. Did you run out of gas? Or have a bout of diarrhea? Man life sucks.Players then simultaneously deploy three action markers to indicate where they plan to go that day: the supermarket the office a pharmacy a flea market the gym and so on. In turn order players then execute all three of their actions in whatever order they desire. Maybe you'll hit the office to earn money but at the cost of having your depression grow more intense. A trip to the supermarket will let you buy food which you can then eat later at home or give to your neighbors who come to the party you throw. Force them to eat cake and get fat! If you have extra money on hand you might want to visit the pharmacy to buy drugs; you never know what the pharmacist will give you but if you don't like it (or the food you've acquired) you can hit the flea market to swap food and drugs – and maybe pick up some change in the bargain.At the end of the round you check your health levels to see whether your body is deteriorating without you even knowing. Get too depressed for example and the depression only gets worse; high blood pressure can affect your blood cholesterol level and vice versa. If a health indicator rises to the tombstone at the top of the column you've partied your last and are now out of the game. (Everyone else has to chip in for the funeral suffering depression if they can't afford to pony up for a decent burial for a good friend like you.) The last player alive in the game wins and dances on the graves of everyone else!
