This week, make time to play Pandemic.
I have several copies of it in my office and it’s also a mobile game.
Write about how co-operative play changes the dynamics of play.
If you want to go deeper, also play Pandemic Legacy.
Watch this video of Matt Leacock talking about the making of Pandemic Legacy, then write about the evolution of Pandemic to a very different format, and how that changes the play.
800 words (more of less.) min 500/max 1200.
As ever, leave a link to your essay in the comments!
