Pandemic the Board Game (Play-by-Forum)

I'm experiencing exotic cuisine right now with a Stouffer's Bistro turkey bacon club. (Bistro is the Canadian version of a Hot Pocket.)

Walk to London, treat 1 cube of Blue Lip Choke

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Good job Dr Marcher!

So now there are cards to draw? Is that the deal?

There is something amusing with the 'one cube of blue lip choke' phrase

Bogotá looks like a great place for a lab in the future

Agreed. And Cairo maybe.

End of Turn One​

Marcher Jovian arrived in London after several days of travelling. The city was strangely quiet. Blue Lip Choke had done a number on the city, with countless people suffering from the mysterious illness. Marcher was pretty sure "Blue Lip Choke" was the name of a drink at Sonic, or something, but being the dutiful scientist he was, he treated the disease carefully.

[One blue cube has been removed from London. Marcher Jovian is now in London.]


CARD DRAW

Marcher Jovian has drawn two cards:

Resilient Population allows you to remove any card in the infection discard pile from the game. You can play it between steps 2/3 of an epidemic (and that's when you should play it.) This prevents that city from ever being drawn again (although an outbreak in an adjacent city could spill over into it.)

INFECTION DRAW

Despite Marcher Jovian's best efforts, one citizen infected with Blue Lip Choke took a plane from London to St. Petersburg. Someone needs to stop this air travel! [St. Petersburg receives one blue cube.]

Blood Flood is spreading from Beijing, probably due to the repulsiveness of the disease. It has arrived in Shangai. [Shanghai receives one red cube.]

Gimme a sec.

 

[Synobun]

Do you guys still want me to clear Kolkata or now Shanghai?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

That was fine. I can get Beijing down from three and pick up Shanghai on my way out turn 2.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Kolkata. More central location in case things go bad out of Delhi I think.
