Pandemic review

Was it fun

Somewhat but yes

What were the players’ interactions?

it was a 100% collaborative game we were definitely working together to win the game

Would you play it again?
yes and I would go in a strategy this time.

How long did it take to learn?
it took us a fair bit of time give or take 20-30 minutes and even then we got stumped while playing and had to refer to the rules and prof. Ames for help

What is the collaborative and or competitive aspects of the game?

the game is all collaborative and there isn’t any competitive aspect because all players need to work together to win.

What is the game’s metaphor and which of the game’s mechanics standout?

the game’s mechanic of roles and different attributes each character possesses was important as it helped us progress through the game. Pandemic teaches us that teamwork makes the dream work at the end of the day.
