Pandemic: The Cure sets up in less than a minute and plays in 30
minutes. As in the board game, four diseases threaten the world and it's
up to your team to save humanity. You and your team must keep the
world's hotspots in check before they break out of control, while
researching cures to the four plagues.
Players roll dice each
turn to determine the actions available to them. They can fly and sail
between the six major population centers of the world, treat disease in
their current region, collect samples for further study, and exchange
knowledge to help them in their goal of discovering cures. Each player
takes on a different role that has its own unique set of dice and
abilities — and players must take advantage of their specializations if
they are to have any hope of winning the game. The Dispatcher, for
example, can spend dice to fly others around the board, while the Medic
is particularly adept at treating disease. Players can roll their dice
as often as they like, but the more times they re-roll for the perfect
turn, the more likely the next epidemic will occur.
At the end of
each turn, new "infection dice" are rolled to determine the type and
location of newly infected populations. If any region on the board is
infected with more than four dice of a given color, an outbreak occurs,
spreading disease into an adjacent region. If too many outbreaks take
place, too many people get infected, or the rate of infection gets too
high, all the players lose. If, however, the players can discover the
cures to the four diseases, they all win and humanity is saved!
Pandemic:
The Cure will be premiering at the BGG con from November 20th to the
24th. It will be available in stores in the second half of 2014.
