We just finished the game. We won the second game in December.
Thanks for the review. Agreed with a lot you said. The middle months we’re a bit of rinse and repeat, but we really enjoyed them. The end however was a disappointment and to us. We understood what we had to do, but weren’t interested in doing it. The end game win condition was a boring painful slow slog. The game should end on a high note, but it didn’t. These aren’t sour grapes. We won.
December wasn’t fun. It wasn’t designed to be fun. I’d be interested to hear someone argue that December was fun for them.

Sure I can see how it was not "fun", not sure self-sacrifice ever could be right? In the end Pandemic Legacy S1 & 2 are about the story and I thought the story was pretty good (for a board game), we did not see the twist about us being Faded coming at all (even though there were so many hints).
So in short, did I think December was fun, nope I guess not. It was tense, exciting & sad though, and it was very satisfying playing it! Pretty sure all stories don't need to be fun.
