Pandemic
A challenging game of working together to provide a strategy to cure diseases and prevent a worldwide pandemic. The game has varying levels of difficulty and can be replayed many times over. A cooperative boardgame, where the 2-5 players work together rather than compete against each other, to prevent a pandemic from happening. This is part of the Z-Man Games series, and after producing their first hit game called "Shadowfist," they set out to continue making fun, innovative games. 2 to 5 players work together to talk, share information and strategize to beat the game board rather than each other. This is a challenging game that can be replayed over and over again. Best for older children (suggested ages are 8 and up). This game encourages critical thinking and cooperation. Not well suited for young children.
Grades: Some of the series is for Ages 8+, others are ages 14+
Cost: From $19.99 to $99.99 with multiple expansions and stand-alone titles.
