The first two will be drawn immediately.

Lagos is the only one about to outbreak.

 

[Synobun]

 

[Timsup2nothin]

The two extra actions is a winner...life is good...don't fret about all the dead plebes.

The extra actions should be saved to make the final cure faster. That's the one that wins the game...stay the course.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Marcher push the black and red cards to the top there since they are about to be cured.

 

[Marcher Jovian]

1. Osaka
2. Shanghai
3. Beijing
4. Kolkata
5. Karachi
6. Lagos

does this ordering work for y'all?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

That's fine.

 

[topsecret]

I doubt anyone will object, so...

Update Pending.

INFECTION DRAW

Forecasters successfully predicted that Shanghai and Osaka would suffer new cases of Blood Flood this month. Tim and Synsensa are working frantically to find a cure for the disease and help as many people as possible [Shanghai and Osaka receive one red cube.]

State of the World:

@Timsup2nothin:
You are in Shanghai. 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 a disease cube from your city, or 3 of a cured disease.
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 give one city card to another player in your city. (If you give, it does not have to match your current city.)
Build Research Station: Discard a card matching your current city to build a research station there.

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.)

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).

[Timsup2nothin]

I'll just hoover these three cubes and wander into Hong Kong.

Plan is progressing fine lads, steady on.

 

[topsecret]

I see a reasonably powerful turn for Tim.

 

[topsecret]

I'll do the update for Tim in a bit. I have to go do something, but I'll do it before bed.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

If I draw two yellow cards that would be pretty bomb.

 

[topsecret]

I see a reasonably powerful turn for Tim.

I do have some advice for an alternate idea, but I'll only give it if you ask.

I'll listen, but my main thing is meeting in Hong Kong with cards, so...

Only treat disease once, move to Cairo via shuttle flight and just hand Marcher the black card.

 

[topsecret]

Then on his turn, he could cure TWICE.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Only treat disease once, move to Cairo via shuttle flight and just hand Marcher the black card.

Then on his turn, he could cure TWICE.

But if G1K doesn't draw his own red card it's actually more critical for Marcher to go to HK and hand that card off. Getting blue and black cures faster at the expense of delaying the red cure doesn't really gain anything I don't think...

Of course if G1K draws a red card of his own that changes the perspective but that's a dangerous thing to count on.
