Pandemic Legacy is a cooperative campaign game with an overarching storyline that lasts 12-24 sessions, depending on how well your group does in the game. At the start, the game plays just like the base game Pandemic, in which your team of medical specialists races against the clock to travel around the world, treat disease hotspots and research cures for each of the four plagues before they get out of hand.
On a player's turn, he has four actions available, which he can use to travel across the world in various ways (sometimes he has to discard a card), build structures such as research stations, treat diseases (remove one cube from the board; when all cubes of a colour have been removed, the disease is eradicated), trade cards with other players or find a cure for a disease (which requires discarding five cards of the same colour while at a research station). Each player has a unique role with special abilities to help them with these actions.
After a player has taken his actions, he draws two cards. These cards may include epidemic cards, which place new disease cubes on the board and can lead to an outbreak, spreading disease cubes even further. Outbreaks also raise a city's panic level, which makes travelling to that city more expensive.
Each month in the game you get two chances to complete that month's objectives. If you succeed, you win and move straight on to the next month. If you fail, you get a second chance, with more funding for helpful event cards.
During the campaign, new rules and components are introduced. These sometimes require you to change the game's components permanently; this includes writing on cards, tearing up cards and placing permanent stickers on components. Your characters can gain new abilities or harmful effects. A character can even be lost completely, at which point it is no longer available to play.
Can you withstand the pandemic and save the world from destruction? Pandemic Legacy Season 1 is available in both a blue and a red version of the game box. The contents of both versions are the same. This is the red edition.
