About

Pandemic is a board game for two to four players to cooperate and contain four diseases spreading throughout different regions across the world. Each player assumes the role of one of five specialists, including a dispatcher, doctor, medic, scientist, researcher and operations expert. The game later inspired the strategy video games Pandemic 2 and Plague Inc., in which the player attempts to destroy all life on Earth with a deadly pathogen.

History

Pandemic was created by game designer Matt Leacock and released by Z-Man Games in 2008. In 2009, the "On the Brink" expansion was released which added new roles, an optional fifth player variant and "special event" cards. In the summer of 2013, a second expansion "In the Lab" was released, allowing players to discover cures for disease in a laboratory.

On July 21st, 2008, the game Pandemic 2[1] was released by Dark Realm Studios, in which the player attempts to infect the entire Earth with a virus, bacteria or parasite by avoiding detection and evolving new abilities. The game features a world map view allowing the player to monitor the spread of a disease across the globe, which is shown through animated airplanes and boats. If a country becomes suspicious of an epidemic, they can close off all ports making it difficult or impossible to infect the area.
