How to Play: Pandemic with All Expansions

[@jojophalphouvong721]

Hey! Thanks for putting this video up - I really appreciate it. It is helpful! You explained everything really well, and there were a couple times you misspoke like “2 players get 4 cards, 3 players get 3 cards, and 2 players get 2 cards”. But it wasn’t anything big and can be easily identified as actually “4 players get 2 cards”. All and all, very well thought out and explained, and I hope you beat all 3 expansions! I had the notion that I wanted to try and do that, but after your video - I don’t know if my group could handle that ! 🤣 we can barely handle 4 epidemics from the base game !

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I apologize for the mistakes. Hopefully they don't confuse anyone. Doing all three expansions is nearly impossible unless you have max player counts and you strategically choose the roles; even then, you have to be super efficient with the actions because one small mistake and spell disaster for the world!

Overall a good video on how to setup game with only minor errors. Not that this is an error but the Purple sticker also comes with On the Brink (you only mentioned State of Emergency which was the last expansion). At 12:05 when setting up the Mutation Challenge for On The Brink, you only use 12 purple cubes (it goes to 24 for In the Lab and State of Emergency). At 14:00 when setting up the Hinterlands Challenge you're supposed to add one disease cube of the matching color in each Hinterlands space. At 49:40 when showing how a purple cube can be removed from the lab, you moved two blue and two red from the sample to the centrifuge; you can't do that. Only cubes of one color can go there so you would have to also lose either the two red or two blue and the centrifuge dish would only have two cubes. I'm not sure if you mentioned it but when placing cubes to a Sequence card that has been Characterized in the lab, you can use cubes of any color for colors that have been eradicated. At 54:10 when showing how to Sequence a second research line, it should be noted this can't be done unless there are two research stations on the main board. A minor pet peeve I have on Pandemic "How to" videos is the pronunciation of Bogotà. It's bo-go-TA, not bo-GOT-a; the accent on the à is there for a reason. :-)

Thank you very much for the clarifications! The multi expanion How to Plays are very difficult because some expansions change how rules work in other expansions so the clarifications will help a lot. Pronunciation is hard, man! ;) I believe multiple people have corrected us with that specific country in my other Pandemic videos. XD

@@BoardGamesUnLocked Seen other channels call Sao Paulo "San" Paulo. Good job on the vid though, I'm guessing you need a perfect card draw to win all those challenges combined, if it's even possible.

@@danlewis1885 That would be my guess. I still have yet to come even close. Lol

at 47:18 you say that you can make 2 moves for one action because they cross, but I cant find any mention of that in the book.
