Thread: Betrayal at House on the Hill:: Rules:: Haunt 28 ruling
Does dynamite count as a speed attack for the Demon Lord?
Our interpretation was that it didn't as the monkey and revolver both explicitly say they are speed attacks and are reusable, while the dynamite is a one-shot(but guaranteed stun on the Lord).

Well, that works, I guess.
I assume you're one of these legacy naysayers, or have some other reason for rejecting the option of buying Pandemic Legacy and playing it, then re-using the box once you're done? (-8

Nah I actually have the blue box I am about to start. Just thought it would be cool and then I have both colors.

Well, well, well. So, I finally played this game to completion, January to December during last weekend.
Bad decision. No need to say anymore.

Regarding whether the game should be number one in the ratings, keep in mind being number one simply represents that it is a game that people rate very highly on average and that a relatively high number of people have rated. It does not mean that everybody says it is their favorite game of all time - in fact it's likely that many of the people who rated the game have some other game they would put higher on their own personal best-of-all-time list. (Including me, I really like the game but I'm not sure I would put it at number one, there are some other games I like basically just as much.) But on average the game is very high on people's lists and relatively few people who have rated it dislike it.In other words a game doesn't have to be number one on most people's lists to be number one on the BGG list, it just has to be toward the top on average. And since normal Pandemic is already quite high on the list Pandemic Legacy only needs to be slightly more well received than that game to reasonably hit number one in the rankings (which is what happened.)
Also on a tangent I'll note that it's quite possible Through The Ages A New Story of Civilization will eventually hit number one, it just needs to roughly maintain it's current average rating and get more people rating it. (I finally got a chance to play a full game last weekend, very good game though a bit too long to be something I could play very often.)

Yes, I know. A lot of people rated it highly, myself included, but I'd prefer if the Nr. 1 was not a Legacy format game, that's all.↧

With the new design, most of the information is much less obvious.I wish they could have found a way to prettify it to modern standards while keeping the previous clarity and information density.

Final conclusion: PL delivers a great one time experience. Played in one go the theme and the story that slowly unfolds before your eyes shine through, improving the vanilla Pandemic play a hundred times.
But I'd prefer it wasn't the Nr. 1 game of the BGG.

You liked Pandemic Legacy a lot, but it's not your highest-rated game.

Same with lots of other people.
But I bet we each have different other games we prefer to Pandemic Legacy. Which is how Pandemic Legacy gets such a high ranking overall. A lot of fun for a lot of people, and no matter that we all also have our personal favourites.

Thread: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1:: Rules:: Just finished March SPOILER
by izajsek
If we have a quarantine marker on top of 3 disease cubes, and i play the unfunded event where i can remove a cube for each city card of that color i discard, can i discard a city card of the color of the disease that is under quarantine in a city, and then remove a disease cube from underneath the quarantine marker? So, remove a disease cube from a city even though that city is under quarantine?↧

Yes, quarantine markers prevent adding new cubes. They do not prevent removing cubes.↧
Thread: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1:: Rules:: 8 Research Station Stickers but only 6 (Plastic) Research Station Buildings?
by Leimbistyle
Can somebody clarify this? Thanks a lot!I finished February: Please let me know if the problem eventually solves itself after advancing the game.
Questions:
There are more Research Station Stickers (8) than (plastic) Research Station Buildings (6).
A) Let'say I managed to place all Research Station Stickers:
1. Can I use all cities with R.S. Stickers as Research Stations including Atlanta (Total of 9 Cities) from the start of a game/month, regardless that I only have 6 (plastic) Research Stations at my disposal?
2. OR do I have to choose at every start of a game 6 out of up to 9 of those Cities with a sticker and place my 6 (plastic) buildings there?
B) If I chose to put up a new Research Station during a game, I have to reuse one of the 6 plastic buildings that I already had placed potentially - Can I nevertheless still use the City where I took the Building away from as there is still a sticker, that I had placed before? I ask this question in regard of my question A)
C) What about having only 6 Stickers for destroyed Research Stations?
When I already have put all 8 R.S Stickers on board for example? In this case would only a max. of 6 out of 9 R.S (incl. Atlanta) be destroyed after reaching two Outbreaks?
Thank you for clarifying!

Hmm. Part of that is an interesting question I've not seen asked before!Firstly, some answers I'm confident of.
It is only the the little white plastic houses that are research stations. The stickers just mark where you put research stations at the start of the game.
Secondly, the main reason there are more starting research station stickers than research stations is that, hey, accidents happen. If there is ever a riot in a city where you have a research station, the research station is destroyed and, if it was also a starting research station location, you stick a research-centre-in-flames sticker over it. In such circumstances, you might want more starting research station stickers.
Thirdly, as you've probably already noticed, there are all sorts of lovely things you can do with game-end upgrades. In practice, the problem won't arise because you'll find other things you'd rather spend your upgrades on than max out starting research stations.
However, though I've not seen A asked before. I bet option 2 is the right answer.
Similarly with C, the burning research station sticker is mainly for dramatic effect, to make you sad. You cannot place a research station in a rioting city anyway, even during setup, even if you've run out of the burny stickers which remind you of this.
I normally steer clear of spoilers, and of giving strategic advice to people who are working through the season, but... don't spend all your upgrades on starting research stations. And if you do, don't let them all burn down. :-p

by TKoTT
It seems like the purple marker has been mostly useless outside of the first month (I think.) I have found some new uses for the purple marker when playing:1. Place it on the first 3 card draw marker on the Infection rate area so when you move up the infection rate marker it tells you when to draw 3 cards each time. This has saved me more than a couple times when playing solo (yes I play solo every now and then.)
2. Place it on a city where you are searching for something. I have a house rule where once you start searching in one city, you cannot search in any other cities that meet the criteria for searching (It just makes sense!)
3. Use it as a current player marker! Give it to the person who is currently moving so you don't forget if everyone leaves the board for a long time.

Fair enough, my comment above wasn't specifically directed at you but rather at complaints that the game doesn't "deserve" to be number one.
