Yep, that was hard to watch. ;-) But still gave me a good impression how the game works. I think i'll buy it, beacause of the really cool railroadsystem.
It's a staple of Matt Lecock's games that misinterpreting a single rule can vastly simplify the game. I had a friend who considered himself an unbeatable expert in the game until I pointed that after the Epidemic hits you shuffle the infected cities and put on top, not shuffle IN the infected cities. Tiny difference, huge impact. His expert status promptly declined :P
Rah, happy greasy turkey from the U.S. man.... looking forward to all the year-end wrap-up and review from you and all the other cool tabletop reviewers. Peace
the arrows are just indicating where the towns and cities are in real life, since the 'dots' tha represent them aren't in the exactly correct spots to make the layout work better :)
At 0:23 when you return Jen's hand to her, you included the red card that she used to purify water. She should have only gotten the two black cards back.
Is this version of Pandemic easier than the previous versions? Having these rail way stations all over makes it much easier to move around and get to places faster. Is this version easier?
Dude... at 31:15 you could have easily prevented the black overrun by only building one railroad instead of two and treating disease as your last action. By leaving out the railroad closest to the hospital, you can go ahead and build it at the start of your next turn.
It's amazing how much easier the game is when you consistently skip the infect cities step. Who knew? 🙄

Rahdo, you need to get your act together :P
0:15 When Jen gets her starting hand which she accidentally had put into the discard, she also picks up Santander, which she had used to purify water.

I think he forgot to infect for atleast 3 turns lol
Thanks Rahdo, enjoyed the run through and your thoughts. I've just bought the game.
0:17 Rahdo takes the red card he used to purify water during Jen's Turn.
27:25... Did you just "Jesus Louise"? LOL! That's classic.
What do the arrorws from some cities mean on the board? For example, there is an arrow coming out of Toledo - does this mean something?

When you were moving yellow cubes to the hospital you kept taking two steps rather than one step via the railroad. Was that correct?
timestamp please
2:59 you forgot to Infect on Jen her turn ;)

5:06 Richard moves his own marker instead of Jen's
he realized that at 6:46 and swapped the pawns

you can always adjust the difficulty up or down if you find it too easy :)
It makes moving around easier, but also gives a route for the patients to overrun the hospitals easier. So there's a trade off.

23:33 purifying water with black instead of blue
there's a black city there so he can use a black card
Sorry my bad. I thought it should match the color of the city where your pawn is.
