Pandemic: Morgan Webb, Ed Brubaker, and Robert Gifford Join Wil on TableTop, episode 14

I miss Table Top. This was such a good series.

I can't get anybody to play Pandemic with me anymore.

30 seconds in, "Wash your hands and put on a face mask..." Oh for the days when that was a joke.

"Wash your hands, and put on a face mask" Oof. Hits a little close to home these days.

a little TOO close

[@JS-bh4ro]

Its hilarious to know people came back to this video during this actual pandemic.

[@pastelstars4372]

JS1697 i actually asked my brother who’s also a big fan of board games if it would be tone deaf to play this now since we own it lmao

[@rainbowdillard8581]

I really laughed at that line because I did wash my hands right before playing this game. I had been eating garlic knots and didn't want to get the cards greasy.

[@jnjuice1690]

The first epidemic in this game happened in Beijing. Boy, did this episode age well.

[@LorenzoWake]

Who else is watching this while the world is being ravaged bij COVID-19? Just ordered this game.

[@ronpetersen2317]

I have a game store ... I sold Legacy Season 1 several days ago and the regular copy today. I wasn't sure how to answer when someone called asking if we had Pandemic in. Of course we laughed and laughed about it as I handed his Lysoled copy in a bag on a 7 foot pole ... and we laughed some more ...

[@markcharcas2293]

Bought this game a week ago and going to play it today. Haha! 😅

Right, but only because the world in the game is actually better than the one we're stuck with.

[@SonOfMuta]

It aged perfectly

[@TyRafferty]

The more recent edition of pandemic's artwork is soooo much better looking. I really can't wait to get the expansions. I have become addicted to this game.

I can pretty much guarantee that, in all Pandemic games played post-2020, one of the diseases will end up being named coronavirus.

[@nathanpredmore7577]

Can confirm but we usually don’t call it coronavirus anymore we usually just say covid

[@gorkskoal9315]

LOL did you read what I named my last disease..and tried to cure it?

[@gorkskoal9315]

LOL. In plague inc. you can name your disease. Naming it Covid is so...fun in both plague inc, and plague inc: da cure.

[@eo7097]

We named the red disease COVID. The blue disease, we named Depression (should've gone with Monkeypox) The yellow disease, we named "Florida Man Disease" because somehow Miami is always the first yellow city to receive a cube.

[@anishraja9655]

And guess what? It's almost always the red disease, because COVID came up in China.

[@tvpartygames6074]

A few days after watching this video I bought Pandemic, then returned here today as I'm playing it and used this video as a guide. Absolutely love this game. I really feel for the people...I mean blocks....and I must now appologise to the East. I did my best.

[@intoxicary]

Pausing the video at 40 seconds to say I love Ed Brubaker. Had no idea that this episode had him in it. Amazing comics from this man. Excited for the episode now.

[@AlexanderTrapp]

Every time the outbreak music plays, it reminds me a bit of Mass Effect. I half expect a Reaper to float down, open it's glowing red eye and bellow out "*SHEPARD*." Looks like a fun game. A bit difficult, but fun!

[@scottnewsome5689]

Love that this show is coming back into focus with everyone quarantined. Why would you play legendary on your first round with people though. Even regular difficulty is tough

You don't actually need to eradicate diseases to win, you "just" need to find all the cures.

[@CatOxO]

Yeah you're right.

Who else feels like we are playing on 'Legendary' difficulty with Covid19??

[@jimdomino7020]

Playing with all the epidemic cards in the deck plus every city starts with 3 cubes on it.

[@redmondhenry398]

realistically, COVID 19 could have been a lot worse. There has been worse outbreaks in the past of other diseases. (to Clarify, I'm not saying to not do anything about COVID 19). I'm just saying that imagine if this was as bad as Spanish flu earlier in the 20th century which killed 50 million people. Hell even the flu kills 600 thousand people every year, and Covid has beaten that at 800k as of now( its gonna get worse). all I'm saying is that COVID 19 is not Legendary difficulty. Its medium mode at best and we are still getting pewned...

Seeing Morgan Webb makes me so very sad about this.. Esquire Network bullshit. G4 was one of my favorite stations when it was there. They had character despite all of their shows just being about games and gadgets. I never once got bored even after watching episodes multiple times. It's a real shame they replaced it with, in my opinion, horrendous reality shows.

My Room-mate picked up this game, with 2 expansions, today. We've played it 5 times already, about to start the 6th, but we've won every game so far.. Although all but one game really came down to a one turn win or loose scenario. Having only 1 card to draw, not having anymore counters to play on another, They have all been nail biter finishes. I can say is its is GREAT FUN.

[@MrBlackstar1992]

Just played this game yesterday with a friend and my brother. The game did NOT want us to win. We played 3 times total, 2 on introductory (easy) mode, and 1 on heroic mode. On easy mode, it was tough. On heroic, the hardest mode, we had no chance. Don't ever think you're winning, unless you actually already Won the game. It can change quickly :D Thanks Will and Crew, for putting some of these cool, untraditional boardgames in the spotlight.

I miss Wil and this show. He and TableTop have got me into tabletop gaming and I just want to say thanks and you left us too soon.

[@onetwo_zen]

yeah...I see people saying it's not that hard, but if you play by the rules it's brutal; like shuffling the epidemic cards correctly so their not at the bottom of the deck but evenly spread out; I've had friends just shuffle it all together and they NEVER got the epidemic card lol. using up all the disease cubes is commonly how people lose as well but I've seen people at local card shops play and they just don't put down those cubes when it's called for because they have no more and continue playing. Sharing knowledge is so hard to do in this game 'cause it requires the card of the place you or your friend is in and both of you have to be there, but again, friends just give whatever they want to others without considering the actual rules. fun game, definitely not impossible but it shouldn't be so easy to just breeze over with 10 straight wins.

[@iemakka]

Judging from the rate of pickup of Epidemic cards in this game, I can tell that the game was set up incorrectly. This looks like an old version of Pandemic but the rule that applies to the version I own is that if there are 6 Epidemic cards in the game, you need to make 6 piles of the cure cards, and shuffle the Epidemic cards separately within these piles after which you stack these shuffled decks with epidemic cards in them. This spreads Epidemics more evenly throughout the game which gives the game a bit more balance as it otherwise depends a bit too much on luck where epidemics are placed within the cure deck. Back to back Epidemics are still possible, but will then be followed by a longer opportunity for cure cards because of the separate stacks within the deck. Just had to point that out ;)

[@gorkskoal9315]

lol I wondered about that! I get the feeling who set up games, sometimes umm. ignores mechanics to make games more balanced.
