Pandemic is a good game that can be played with 2 to 6 people. You don't pay against each other but against the game itself or try to reduce infections. Somewhat difficult instructions but worth the effort. Lots of fun and Best Buy has the best price for this game.

Other reviews were spot on. A great game, fun interaction for all players. Complicated rules take time to review before starting; but game flows well once it gets going. Myself with my 21, 17, and 12 year old had no time picking it up. 21 year old said, "that was 1.5 hours?" after we finished - they were engaged and enjoyed. Read the rules aloud and as a team before you play the game as a team. Can play many times. Not easy to "beat the game", a nice challenge.

Once you play it and realize that it's everybody working together to stop the next zombie flu apocalypse then your addicted. Just wait until someone mentions the expansion packs which really add another level to the game. Most games with expansions get broken badly, this one does it well.
Best part of the game is that it can pull you in to save the human race.

Fun game to play with family or friends because you have to play together and work as a team. Even young kids can "play" because everyone works together.

This game is such a blast. Instead of competing with one another, the players play together to beat illnesses. I highly recommend this game!

I already owned Forbidden Island, which is by the same creator as Pandemic. I've always enjoyed it, but wanted something a little more complex.
Pandemic is exactly that. It's very similar to Forbidden Island, but with slightly more complexity. Both games are excellent, but now having played Pandemic, I prefer it.
The game can be extremely difficult, but as a certain celebrity geek said, this game is more fun to lose than a lot of games are to win. I have to agree with that statement.
Well worth buying.

This game is very fun. Good for two or more persons. It is a cooperative game, which all players need to work together to achieve goals. If you don't like competitive games, this is a good option for you. You can increase the level of difficulty, so it is not a one-time game. You would want to play again and again.

Personally I'm more of a fan of competitive board games, but if you're looking to work together with a few friends towards a goal, this is one of the classics for that genre. The only issue is sometimes one player takes over the game too much, but with the right group this is a fantastic experience.

Not a lot of co-op games pique my interest but this one certainly grabbed it and held on.
Very fun to coordinate and strategize with friends while the board mercilessly pushes to defeat your most well thought out and executed efforts.
Not a kid's game.

This is a great coop game that's easy to learn. It's very hard to beat and has multiple difficulty levels, plus the replay value is very high. There are expansions but you don't need them, the base game has everything you need and plays great.

Great coop game to play with friends who love to get stressed out together. Playing Pandemic with my daughter really helps her organizational skills. If only I can convince her humanity will perish if she doesn't clean her room.

My wife and I have been looking for this game for awhile. Best Buy actually had it in stock on the shelf. I am glad to see Best Buy stocking some gaming-related items (collectibles, board games, etc.) so it makes it a great place to check out if you need something. Otherwise you are resigned to ordering stuff online.
Basically the Pandemic game has you work as a team to defeat global infections. It even teaches you a little bit of geography. We find ourselves asking "Where is that again?" when we play.

I played this game 2 times before I bought it. It’s a really fun co-op game where you have to work as a team to contain a string of different outbreaks. Very cool game.
