Description
Description from the publisher:
The world almost ended 71 years ago...
The plague came out of nowhere and ravaged the world. Most died within a week. Nothing could stop it. The world did its best. It wasn't good enough.
For three generations, we, the last fragments of humanity have lived on the seas, on floating stations called "havens." Far from the plague, we are able to provide supplies to the mainland to keep them (and us) from succumbing completely.
We've managed to keep a network of the largest known cities in the world alive. Things have been tough the past few years. Cities far away from the havens have fallen off our grid...
Tomorrow, a small group of us head out into what's left of the world. We don't know what we'll find.
Pandemic Legacy: Season 2 is an epic cooperative game for 2 to 4 players. Unlike most other games, this one is working against you. What's more, some of the actions you take in Pandemic Legacy will carry over to future games. No two worlds will ever be alike!
Part of the Pandemic series.

Quotes (from this video)
- it's probably my least favorite out of the trilogy but I still like it
- it does some really cool stuff with like turn order and order of operations and kind of roll selection similar to like a Puerto Rico kind of thing and it kind of marries that with some traditional sort of area control jocking you know kinds of stuff
- it's another one I played I think only only once I might have played it twice I didn't really care for it
- the rule book was probably the main problem with it
- it felt like a big dud when it actually did come out
- we just got bored of and that's not that's all I can only say about it like there was nothing really terrible about it
- it just was like mediocre I think it's the right word for it
- season two I like better
- it's definitely the weirder quirkier sort of sister of the first one
- pandemic Legacy season one was the number one game
- mark my words or some other arrogant comment I said this will be the number one game on Board Game Geek by the end of the year
