Last week, some friends and I played our first game of Pandemic Legacy. If you're not familiar with the game, Shut Up & Sit Down has a good review. In short, it takes Pandemic, Matt Leacock's genre-defining disease-fighting co-operative game, and combines it with Risk Legacy, Rob Daviau's re-imagining of Risk that added an ongoing campaign, permanent changes to the board and rules between games and Christmas morning excitement to the old classic. What you get is Pandemic campaign, where each game carries over into the next, modifying some things, adding others and making the players' situation better or worse as the case may be.
I've decided to write up each of our sessions (months, in the game's fiction) as connected short stories. These will have spoilers, so if you're planning on playing the game, I'd recommend not reading after the jump.
This episode contains spoilers for January.
