About Pandemic
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
91% appreciated the perfect difficulty level
I find the game to have a high level of difficulty and replay-ability, with rules to make it harder once you've mastered the basics.
92% praised the gentle learning curve, while 8% found it too steep
The game is reasonably easy to learn for someone who plays role-playing games like D&D, Munchkin, Pathfinder, etc.
The game is relatively easy to learn and not difficult to teach or pick up.
It took my parents 10-20 games to fully understand the logic and possible moves of the game, indicating a learning curve that may not be easy for everyone.
95% praised the engaging gameplay experience
The gameplay experience is always unique as players draw roles with special abilities and the setup mechanic produces randomized locales of infection, epidemics, and near-outbreak. The occurrence of Epidemic cards is also randomized by shuffling, resulting in significant infection events happening at different stages each game.
92% liked the high-quality components, but 8% found them flimsy
The card quality is very nice with air cushioning, which should hold up well.
The quality of the materials is not good. I have faced the problem of cards peeling back and several others were starting to peel apart at the edges and others looked like they were about ready to go.
I am disappointed with the build quality of the board game. The plastic pieces are cheap and one of the connections on the board is missing.
I received a poor-quality plastic version of the game with cheap plastic tokens and half-visible printings, indicating a negative experience with the material quality of the board game.
