The game is actually easier (i.e., it's actually possible to win) with *less* players because there's a limit on the total number of turns that you can take. With 2 players, each player's going to have something like 12 turns, and our win rate is about 30-40% (pretty high for a co-op!); with four, each player's going to have six or seven turns, and our win rate is two games out of forty. PANDEMIC's definitely just as much fun, and as addictive, with two players, and is well-suited for 2 or 3 players.

Ahhhhhh. Interesting... maybe it's just on there vaguely for cost reasons.

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, so many board games we want to play tho
