Pandemic the Board Game (Play-by-Forum)

[topsecret]

Syn: I don't know if I'll get the hang of this.

Also Syn: Has every rule mastered before his first turn.

 

[topsecret]

No need, I'm already locking in my turn.

Action 1: I fly to Hong Kong. I discard my Milan card.
Action 2: I set up a Research Station in Hong Kong.
Action 3: I drive to Kolkata.
Action 4: I treat disease in Kolkata.

But already done with fixing post 1 & 2.

As opposed to Tim, who has thus far not even had a turn and had to be reminded of the rules...twice?

I'm over-compensating lol

I'm still dealing with the embarrassment of going to a board game night a couple years ago and needing my hand held from turn 1 to the very end of the game, leaving the room, and immediately forgetting every rule that was drilled into me at least a half dozen times.

That's a bad feeling for sure. I always try to help people when playing but not too much.

I became the complete nerd who bought dozens of board games and built a table exclusively for board games.

Anywho, update pending.

End of Turn Two​

For years, Synsensa had trained for this moment. His experience in organization and planning allowed him to rapidly deploy a new research station in the city of Hong Kong, where citizens who had not yet heard of Blood Flood were baffled by the urgency Synsensa displayed.

Synsensa also traveled west towards India. Reaching Kolkata, he found an outbreak of the Black Death, which he treated effectively. Rumors were spreading through the city, however, that many people were dying nearby in Delhi. Something needed to be done soon.

[Synsensa discarded his Milan card. He built a research station in Hong Kong.
One black cube has been removed from Kolkata. Synsensa is now in Kolkata.]


CARD DRAW

Synsensa has drawn two cards:

INFECTION DRAW

Fishing traffic from Beijing and Shanghai has resulted in the contraction of Blood Flood cases in Japan. The city of Osaka is suffering from the majority of cases, and without a cure, the disease is expected to worsen. [Osaka receives one red cube.]

Reports from the city of Karachi indicate new cases of the Black Death. A news reporter says that the Pakistani government is not prepared to stop the disease. [Karachi receives one black cube.]

Turn Three
Year 2033, January 29th​

State of the World:

@Timsup2nothin:
You are currently stationed at the CDC Research Station in Atlanta. You have 4 actions. Choose any in a mix and match fashion:

Drive/Ferry: Move to a connected city.
Direct Flight: Discard a card to fly to that city.
Charter Flight: Discard a card to fly from that city to anywhere.
Shuttle Flight: Move between research stations.

Treat Disease: Remove 1 Disease Cube from your city, or all of a cured color.
Discover a Cure: Spend 5 cards of the same color at a research station to cure a disease.
Share Knowledge: Take a card that matches your city with someone also in that city. Or, as the researcher, you may give one of your cards to another player in your city (it does not have to match.)
Build Research Station: Discard a card matching your current city to build a research station in your current city.

You are the Researcher.

You can do the Share Knowledge action and give any card without that card matching your current city. (i.e. if you are in the same city, you can pass any card to another player. Ignore the Lab Challenge text.)

Location: Atlanta

Current Cards

Infection Rate: 2 Cities per turn

Outbreaks: Zero.

Epidemic Possible?: Yes.

You are the Medic.

You have two special abilites:
1. You remove all cubes of one color when treating disease, even when the disease is not cured.
2. If a disease is cured, all cubes of that color are automatically removed when you are in a city (and therefore no more cubes can be placed there while you stay there).

Xenoforum only allows 30 images per post, so I have to split them.

You're gonna hate me, but the Infection Draw and Map are wrong.........

Hmm, what are you talking about?

I keep clicking the wrong one

 

[topsecret]

Alright information updated properly. Post 1 & 2 done.

 

[Synobun]

You need to remove Milan from my current deck.

I'm going to give you heartburn.

Always need somebody to keep me accountable.

I guess. Fixed.

 

[Golden1Knight]

Good thing that the black cube spawned in Karachi, I'll have it for lunch on my way to Baghdad next round

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Yeah this is working out so far.

1. Shuttle to Hong Kong
2 and 3. Travel two steps to Beijing.
4. Treat a red cube.

End of Turn Three​

Teamwork was a beautiful sight. Timsup2nothin flew to the new Research Station that Synsensa had built. He headed north to treat Blood Flood patients in Beijing, which was shaping up to be a dangerous area. Along the way, he researched as much as he could. The Blood Flood disease was a nasty disease, but if anyone could crack the codes, it would be Tim.

[One red cube has been removed from Beijing. Timsup2nothin is now in Beijing.]


CARD DRAW

Timsup2nothin has drawn two cards:

@Marcher Jovian
@Synsensa
@Timsup2nothin
@Golden1Knight

An epidemic has occurred!

Three things will happen.

1. The Infection Rate will increase:

2. The bottom Infection Card is drawn, and that city receives three cubes.

STOP!

@Marcher Jovian has an event that allows him to remove an infection card before they are shuffled and placed back on top. This will remove that infection card from the game. He needs to decide (with any relevant advice from the team) which infection card to remove if he wants to play this event.

Marcher Jovian, you may choose to:
1) Play the event, choosing one infection card to remove.
OR
2) Pass

If you choose (1), then please pick one of these cards:
Infection Discard Pile:

Here is the current game state:

 

[Marcher Jovian]

I'm thinking maybe remove Algiers to prevent an overflow? Because G1K can handle Delhi by going next and removing everything there.
