Pandemic - Rapid Response

Fast-paced cooperative game.

Pandemic Rapid Response continues the unique, cooperative gameplay of the original Pandemic board game. But the dice and timer shave time from the game by urging fast-paced decision making rather than the long deliberation that often characterized our family when playing the original. It takes a couple practice runs to remember the mechanics of gameplay as the pressure applied by the timer discouraged us from wasting precious time to consult the rule book during our first couple attempts at the game. We ended each of those games with the realization that we actually hadn't successfully saved the world, because we had neglected this or that rule of gameplay. Sorry world for your plunge into the unchecked spread of disease caused by our ignorance, but we had fun all the same. And, we're looking forward to playing again, when we will not only have fun, but follow all the rules of the game and actually save the world from disaster.
