Pandemic Legacy. Season 1, October (2nd attempt)

Because we now have a weapon in hand to battle the COdA-virus, we were rather relaxed and very sure we would win this game.

Kobe played the Quarantine specialist, Hannes the Medic, Leander the Dispatcher and me the Immunologist (the new character who has some advantages concerning the vaccination of cities). Tarek was babysitting.

A new military base was build in Atlanta.

At the beginning of the game I managed to vaccinate 5 or 6 cities quickly, which prevented the Faded from popping up there. I did some in South Africa and in North America. The big hot spot of South America I couldn't begin to cure, because of other problems. As one of the mission objectives was to have 6 vaccinated cities (destroy after this is reached), we quickly reached this mission objective.

The other mission briefing to destroy 2 military bases was also reached quickly, because we had the right cards (Atlanta & Buenos Aires) to destroy them, so second mission objective reached.

This only left the one to build the third vaccine factory and the one to find a cure for the other 3 diseases. And this last one, was one we had to fulfill.

At the beginning of the game few yellow (COdA) cards were in the infect cities deck, which made my work a lot easier. On the downside, this meant that the other diseases were harder to get under control, and specifically the red disease.

After a few turns I had the most black cards, so the Dispatcher traveled me around the board so he could get me the last black card I needed to cure it, which I did.

Because of red disease that kept popping up all over the place, the others had a lot of work getting it under control. This meant that before we almost realized it the player deck was running out, and we still had to cure the blue en red disease. To make this happen we had to do some hard thinking to get the right cards into the right hands.

Leander switched everyone around the board so that I could get the final blue card I needed and Kobe got the final red card he needed to win this game. But very close, because only Hannes would have been able to play after him, emptying the player deck.
In doing so I had to take a scar (Monophobic : you may not do the search action unless someone else is in the same city), which will do not much harm, because the game is almost ended.

As there are not a lot of game end upgrades left, only character upgrades, we chose the following :
- Immunologist : Formidable (you may use a city card from an adjacent city when building any structure) can be handy because we still need to build a vaccine factory
- Dispatcher : Shady background (play any card matching the color of the city you are in to perform the sabotage action) Also handy because we still need to destroy 2 military bases.

So, we are curious what will happen in November en December, because there are no more closed packages, but still some cards in the mission briefing deck.
