Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
**Pandemic Legacy: Season 1** gave me one of the most thrilling board game experiences of my life. I played through the entire campaign, and each session left us eager to uncover the next twist in the story. The game starts out familiar – it’s classic Pandemic at its core – but then it evolves, introducing new rules and surprises that had us gasping at times. We grew attached to our characters – it was genuinely devastating when bad things happened – because the game makes every decision feel meaningful. The legacy format (ripping up cards, adding stickers to the board) made the world feel truly changed by our actions. By the final months of the campaign, we were emotionally invested and working together like a well-oiled, disease-fighting machine. The only downside? You can only play it fresh once. After 18 or so games, our campaign was finished, and while it was unforgettable, we can’t reset our memories to do it again. It’s also a commitment; you need a consistent group and time to play a dozen-plus sessions. And yes, the usual Pandemic issue with quarterbacking can still pop up. I even consulted an AI for others’ views, and it echoed my sentiment: Pandemic Legacy Season 1 is a masterpiece of cooperative gaming.
