Smosh Solves the Pandemic (Board AF)

[@pangolin9580]

You know the game is fun and interesting when shayne actually follows the rules and plays the game

[@angelowilliams5239]

I thought the same thing.

[@makotushi2234]

Yeah seriously! He is actually playing it seriously lol

[@RaeofLight13]

I feel like I’ve never seen Shayne so into a game and deep thinking prior to this. Former Calamity Jane is a new person!

[@Simon_Simone]

I love these games that have everyone on the same team

[@ehsaanaminuddin4885]

Well said

[@vanessa3550]

I especially love the strategy this involves. I have pandemic at home and will play it every once in a while and it's always this collaborative effort "Oh so in your turn you'll do xy because you have that ability, and I'll do this instead and then next round we can try and meet to share this card" etc.

[@WardNightstone]

they can weirdly be more stressful then competitive ESP THIS ONE

[@sh11death]

Yes! This. I hate picking sides.

[@warlorddk2070]

I recommend Pandemic, Hanabi, Magic Maze and Similo :) All great cooperative games :)

I feel so much for Shayne at the end. I know that face of "We've lost, and none of these fools even see it" all too well.

[@timlong4791]

@@rodentfairy I'm certain you're not alone. If you revisit 0:55 after watching a lot of the video the game should start to make more sense.

[@vanessa3550]

@@rodentfairy Na from experience anytime I do play the game with people that are new to this it takes a round to get into the dynamics and that's with people actively playing. I'm sure when you are just watching people play it can be even harder to grasp.

Why did they lowkey ignore Shayne about how little cards were left, and Sarah could have possibly won the game

[@winfield1775]

Yeah that was annoying

[@Grayfox541]

Well, Ian was aware too.

[@Triairius]

They really did. Then Sarah was taking all the discussion time acting like the game is unwinnable, seemingly because they called her Typhoid Sarah. They could barely talk to each other without her injecting before someone could respond with something helpful. Like, it's a PvE game, so you don't have to play it with your guard up like it's a PvP game.

[@Nothanksimtired]

To be fair... Didn't Sarah literally read that card out loud around 4:12? That feels like it's on everyone a bit because it's cooperative and she really did read it at the very beginning.

This game is awesome. It is so balanced that saving the world usually comes down to just a couple of moves. I've lost more then won but it is a great game and should be played if you like board games.

[@vanessa3550]

I find that if I play just with one other person I tend to win more often then loose, even with the maximum epidemic cards. But with more players I start loosing a lot more but it also is more fun. Also I have yet to win a game where no medic is present, their ability tends to just be to valuable to go without.
