Pandemic the Board Game (Play-by-Forum)

Take a breath. We don't need to burn the station card. We do need to transfer my card to Marcher and yes Marcher needs to head down to Algiers, grab syns card, and cure the black. Then on Syns turn since the black will be cured he can eat all three black cubes at once, step to Cairo, burn a card flying wherever, and build a station there. It should be a city that either Syns or G1K has a card for, because the idea is for Marcher to fly there out of Cairo, take that card, and cure another disease.

We need to organize more around card play and getting cures and worry less about cubes. Marcher has to cure a disease every turn.

He can't cure without being at a research station.

Yes, emphasizing card play is a good part of winning. You have to get the right cards to the right people.

the issue is that you have to be at a research station to cure disease. The trade off is if we use the card, then we can cure the black death this cycle instead of next cycle. By doing it right now Syns and G1K are in prime position to potentially outright eliminate the black death soon. While I'll still be in Algiers so that doesn't matter super much, it does matter if we want G1K to hoover up the rest of the black cubes in South Asia. Of course, if we want to send G1K to like Lagos or Sydney anyways this is less relevant.

MJ cannot cure if there is no station at Algiers.

Two actions to get to Algiers. An action to get my card. An action to cure (if there's a station). Otherwise he'd need to spend his 4th action on going to Cairo, and waiting a full cycle to cure.
 
After MJ cures black, G1K is in the best position to cure red. But getting him the reds necessary will be tricky.
 
We don't need to eliminate it, just cure it.

I really don't see how this is possible. The card swapping is insanely restricted unless you're named Tim. :p

That's why we might need a station somewhere that you or G1K can provide a card. I ame on path to have a BUNCH of cards. Marcher flies in and picks up two cards. You give him yours and fly out. I fly in and give him all the cards he needs. He cures and again flies to where you are and gets your card. Repeat.

Usually just takes two swaps to get a cure. :)

TS told me you need to be in the city itself to swap its card. So for me to give G1K Osaka, we'd both need to be in Osaka.

You'll actually need to be in Osaka to do that. Remember, only Tim can just chuck cards. ;)

However, we can circumvent this some by using you as a conduit. If you, G1K, and I are in any city (so long as we're all together), you can take my Osaka card and then give it to G1K, using up two actions.

No it's literally just Tim giving up cards that doesn't require specific cities. He can't take them anywhere.
 
If it takes five G1k can burn his Baghdad card and fly to Osaka. Syns can fly to Osaka and give him that red. If he still needs another I can walk to Osaka and give it to him. Then he steps into Hong Kong and cures.
 
We got this. We have a ton of cards. Cure black, cure red, throw a station somewhere that someone has a yellow card for and marcher goes there and gets it...I fly in and feed him my yellow cards so he can cure that and move onto blue.

This will work, the risk is that we will leave all those 3 cubes cities unattended for a while
