It's been a bit quiet around here lately. Anyone done anything interesting? Had a sweet holiday?
I'm heading back to work on Tuesday, so still a couple more days in holiday mode. Have been hanging out with family who have been down visiting.
Last night we played a 4 player game of the board game Pandemic, and got smashed in the novice difficulty. My wife and I are used to two player and it got a bit trickier in 4 player (or we probably didn't think it through enough and just went for a two player strategy).
Playing Pandemic 2 player but with 2 characters each is our go to. It really turns into a coop 4 turn round as you start thinking about what all the agents can do.
Ah, interesting! So you play it with two pawns but with two roles (special abilities) each? Or play as if it's a four player game with four pawns, but you play two different people and do the full turn sequence for each?
Play it like a 4 player game, so 4 full turn sequences. To me it seems like having 4 special abilities is where the game is at it's best.
Ah OK, we will have to try that some time! Definitely before we try to rope in new players and mess up the strategy again 😆
