February 20, 2016: Pandemic: It's Not Just For Gamers Any More

Whenever I'm in my Friendly Local Game Store, anyone who is not playing a Steve Jackson game is likely to be playing Pandemic. It has long been a favorite among board gamers, partly because its cooperative nature makes it particularly easy to teach. Not surprisingly, a game that popular is producing sequels and expansions. The latest is Pandemic Legacy. It has become so popular that even TV news reporters are discussing it! But what is really fun is when non-gamers try actually playing a game.

Check out this report where four real-life epidemiologists try out Pandemic Legacy!
