Description

Pandemic Legacy Season Two is the highly anticipated follow-up to the popular cooperative game, Pandemic. In this sequel, players continue the story 71 years after the events of the first game. As a legacy game, the campaign unfolds over multiple play sessions, featuring destructive elements that allow for only a single playthrough. Despite this limitation, the experience of discovering the story together more than compensates for it.

Season Two takes place in the near future, allowing for more creative gameplay and rule modifications. As the story progresses, rules evolve, and players can keep track of these changes with a rule book and stickers placed in the correct locations.

Pandemic Legacy is an experience that everyone should try. While it is not necessary to have played Season One before diving into Season Two, it is highly recommended to commit to playing through the entire campaign of each season with the same group, if possible.

There are two versions of Pandemic Legacy Season Two available, with the only difference being the box cover – one in yellow and the other in black. The contents inside the box remain the same, regardless of the cover you choose.

Pandemic Legacy Season Two invites players to work together to save the world from devastating viruses, providing an engaging and immersive cooperative gaming experience that evolves over time.

How to Play

How to Play Pandemic Legacy: Season 2

Introduction

Pandemic Legacy: Season 2 is a cooperative board game set in a post-apocalyptic world where players work together to save humanity from deadly diseases and rebuild civilization. As a campaign-style game, it evolves over 12-24 sessions, with each session lasting approximately 60-90 minutes. Players' decisions have lasting consequences, changing the game world and their options in future sessions.

Setup

  1. Assemble the game board, which represents a map of the world with interconnected cities.
  2. Place infection cubes on the starting cities as indicated in the prologue or scenario instructions.
  3. Each player chooses a character with unique abilities and takes the corresponding player card, pawn, and action tokens.
  4. Shuffle the infection cards, player cards, and create the player deck with a number of epidemic cards based on the desired difficulty level.
  5. Draw the starting hand of player cards for each player, based on the number of players in the game.
  6. Place objective cards, supply centers, and other game components nearby.

Gameplay

Players take turns performing the following steps:

  1. Action Phase: Perform up to 4 actions from the following options:
  2. Draw Phase: Draw two player cards and resolve any epidemic cards drawn.
  3. Infection Phase: Draw a number of infection cards based on the infection rate, placing or removing cubes as indicated on the cards.

Players must work together to complete objectives, which typically involve delivering supplies, building supply centers, or discovering cures. The game ends in victory if all objectives are completed, or in defeat if any of the following conditions are met:

  • The player deck runs out of cards.
  • Too many cities are infected or out of supplies.
  • The maximum number of epidemics has occurred.

Legacy Elements

As players progress through the campaign, they'll make decisions that have lasting consequences. These may include:

  • Adding stickers to the board, representing new cities, routes, or other changes to the game world.
  • Opening sealed compartments, revealing new rules, components, or objectives.
  • Marking characters with scars or upgrades, altering their abilities for future games.

These legacy elements ensure that each playthrough of Pandemic Legacy: Season 2 is unique and engaging, providing an immersive experience for all players.

Character Development

Throughout the campaign, players have the opportunity to improve their characters with upgrades and new abilities. These may be awarded at the end of each game, based on the objectives completed or other factors. Some examples of character upgrades include:

  • Additional Actions: Gain an extra action, allowing the character to perform more tasks during their turn.
  • Improved Abilities: Enhance a character's special ability, making it more powerful or efficient.
  • Special Skills: Unlock unique skills that can help the team in specific situations, such as removing more infection cubes or moving between cities more quickly.

Scoring and Progression

At the end of each game, players score their performance based on objectives completed, cities saved, and other factors. These scores are recorded on a campaign log, which tracks the team's progress over the entire campaign. Higher scores unlock new content and rewards, such as:

  • New Objectives: Discover additional goals that can be pursued in future games, offering new challenges and strategic options.
  • Unexplored Regions: Reveal hidden areas of the game board, with new cities, resources, and threats to contend with.
  • Story Events: Uncover narrative elements that deepen the game's world and provide context for the players' actions.

Replayability

While Pandemic Legacy: Season 2 is designed as a campaign experience, it offers a high level of replayability. Players can choose different strategies, explore alternate routes, and make different decisions that will shape the game world and their experience. Additionally, after completing the campaign, players can continue to play in a "free play" mode that allows them to tackle standalone scenarios or devise their own challenges.

Conclusion

Pandemic Legacy: Season 2 provides a thrilling cooperative experience that combines strategy, teamwork, and storytelling. As players navigate the post-apocalyptic world, they'll face tough decisions, develop their characters, and leave a lasting impact on the game board. With its evolving gameplay and rich narrative, Pandemic Legacy: Season 2 offers a unique and engaging experience for all types of board game enthusiasts.
