Pandemic

When my school announced that classes will be postponed for 10 days due to the confirmed case of H1N1, I drove my car to my favorite board game store, Hobbes and Lands located at Promenade, Greenhills. I had extra allowance to buy myself an addition to my board game collection. I figured that I need something to do during my ten days of vacation.

The salesperson was able to "sales-talk" me into buying this expensive board game called, Pandemic. He told me that Pandemic was a new release and that they only had one last piece. I bought it at once and headed home for me and my family to try out. Here is how the game goes. First you are given a role, you can either be a scientist who can cure diseases or an operations specialists who can construct research stations. The goal of the players is to eradicate four diseases and prevent a pandemic. Players must travel around the world to contain infections and at the same time develop the cures. If they don't create the cures for the for diseases in the nick of time, the players will lose. That's the concept of the game. That's pandemic in a nutshell. It's really fun and addictive. Try it out. *thumbs up*
