Pandemic: Fall of Rome Review

[@steamvent]

Thanks for the review. This looks really good. A minor note: I really love the way they illustrated water on the map, very pleasing and cool.

[@DriveThruReview]

Indeed. I really appreciate a lot of the illustration in this game!

I’m not understanding how more than one cube is added to a city. I know I’m missing something but as I understand after a card is drawn you add to the next forward space, correct?

[@JhoffDJ.]

And thanks for the review! :)

[@DriveThruReview]

Justin Hoffee Sure thing. Let’s say you draw the card for the furthermost city... or even the Rome card... the cube goes on the closest legal spot.... which could be right next to the barbarians spawn point. Then you draw another card for that same color... or even the exact city itself... you’d place another cube there. It happens more often than you might think.... like all the time at the worst times :)

[@JhoffDJ.]

Drive Thru Games haha makes sense. Thanks for clarifying :)

First time I have seen you really excited, and I share your opinions. Can't wait to open this on Christmas, as a gift to myself 😄 I really would recommend you trying out Rising tide, I think that one is also awesome and is on a class, if not above the also great Iberia. Pandemic fever 😉 Thanks for the review, you are great 👍

[@DriveThruReview]

Thanks. Ya I should track down Rising Tide one of these days :)

[@Tombonzo]

Nice review, Thank you!

Question: When "eradicating" a barbarian tribe, i.e. no tribe cubes on the map, do you need to continue to block them from invading, or are they "eradicated" as in original Pandemic?

[@DriveThruReview]

You still have to deal with them, but you can effectively recruit them to your side. I thought I covered that in the rules portion, but I may have glossed over it. I don't remember :)

[@gazoo3596]

@@DriveThruReview Understood that when you ally with them they keep coming... you did cover that... but was wondering as the rules say two ways to win, ally and or eliminate from the board... was wondering that if they are eliminated from the board are they eradicated... good review.

[@Orochi_001]

Did you find it easier or harder to win using the official solo variant, compared to the usual method of playing two or three hands? Thanks!

[@DriveThruReview]

I honestly can't remember. It's been so long since I last played this :)

[@Orochi_001]

@@DriveThruReview I enjoy but also stink at Pandemic. I hate the idea of house-ruling a game, but I sometimes consider modifying the same city/same card exchange rule. I appreciate the reply!

[@mazmo_]

What do you think of Pandemic Iberia :)?

[@DriveThruReview]

Been forever since I played it, but I had a good time with it. Think I just played it once.

[@narutosan1377]

Do you like this better than Pandemic Cthuluhu?

[@DriveThruReview]

Definitely. :)
