Pandemic Legacy: Season 0

Product Information

You’re not imaging it: Pandemic is hard! And it gets harder the more players you have. Sure, you have more characters and so more special abilities, but you also start with fewer cards each and draw fewer cards per player over the course of a game, making it harder to collect sets for cures. Plus there are more turns — and thus more things that can go wrong — before a specific player gets to act again. This is to balance against the extra brain power available at the table, but of course you will also have more people trying to decide what to do. Embrace losing! The story will progress even so, and the budget rules mean that you will hopefully get a bit of a break in your next game by getting extra Events (and, since you’ll be playing more games overall, more upgrades too). It all becomes part of your unique Legacy story, and hopefully you can turn things around later in the year. Staff, Ars (2017-11-18).

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2022), designed by Alexandar Ortloff, is set during the Clone Wars of the Star Wars prequel era. Players take on the role of Jedi and fight the Separatist battledroid armies on a map representing the planets of the Star Wars galaxy. It includes quests and dice-based combat similar to Wrath of the Lich King. Gameplay is straightforward, with each unique investigator – a number of familiar faces from Arkham Horror and Eldritch Horror make an appearance – moving around, interacting with objects and, when it comes to it, fighting off otherworldly creatures. Season 0's agents feel closer to the original Pandemic Legacy than Season 2’s subversive take on the core gameplay, but there's enough variety to make it reinvention rather than rehash.

You say there's an element of trying to seek out this bioweapon because you don't know where it is. Does that mean there are returning gameplay elements from Season 2? Revealing the map as you explored was a big part of that game. Pandemic Legacy Season Zero also adds just a little more light-heartedness to its gameplay. Unlike in the other Legacies, you aren’t burdened with the worry that cities could be wiped from the map. And you don’t have to worry that your character could just die. Don’t get me wrong, this game is steeped with tension, but there is just so much more room for fun. There is also a huge sense of world-building throughout. As in every legacy game every action has its consequence, which ripples throughout the game. Now you have even more autonomy. From better personalisation on your character passports to cards of questions from your ‘senior officer’, Season 0 is all the best bits of previous games brought into one.

For all its boxes stuffed with secrets, card-ripping permanence and what-comes-next story about humanity sliding toward apocalypse, perhaps the biggest surprise the Pandemic Legacy series has pulled off is getting us to care about its world. While co-op games come in every shape and size, the very best co-op board games all have one thing in common: they allow the players around the table to come together and share in defeat or victory. Many cooperative titles offer more difficult challenges for players to overcome as a group, while others are a more relaxed way to enjoy an entertaining story together.
