Originally released in 2008, - designed by Matt Leacock - is a cooperative RPG board game that tasks players with finding cures to the four diseases that have broken out around the world before they wipe out the entire human population. Sound littl𒆙e too on the nose right now? Well, it’s about to get worse (or better, if you’re already a fan of the original game).
Asmodee - a publisher of board games, card games, role-playing games, and vi🍎deo game versions of all of the above - has released new content set within the world of the Pandemic u🐠niverse, but is narrowing the focus of the game to allow for a more streamlined version of the 🌟original game. Entitled, Pandemic: Hot Zone - North America, PDF files for the game right now.
Just like in the original game, Pandemic: Hot Zone - North America will require players to work together to discover the cures of three diseases that are threatening to wipe out North America (as if one wasn’t enough). Players will need to use their characters’ strengths as they travel across the country, preventing outbreaks and searching 𝕴for a cure, wit♉h cooperation and communications being the ultimate keys to success.
Although Pandemic: Hot Zone - North America is just a condensed one-shot, it’s incredibly generous of Asmodee to offer up some games that are free-to-play when most of the world is still stuck inside from the COVID-19 pandemic. It makes sense though, considering Asmodee’s mantra right now is, “Offers Free ‘Print & Play’ Downloadable Board Games For Fami🌳lies To Enjoy While Staying at Home.”
Regardless of the subject matꦯter,♑ at the very least, Pandemic: Hot Zone - North America will give people something else to do while sheltering in place, while possibly even introducing tabletop RPG gameplay to those who might not otherwise ever play suc⛦h a thing. While it would be ideal to play with someone who is at least a little familiar with the original Pandemic, for newbies, just take your time and read through the instruction♒s thoroughly. It’s a lot less complicated than it looks.
