Surviving Pandemic 3 – A Tough ClimbJuneTeam: Quarantine Specialist (Ann Court) and Medic (Dr Jones)
We were lulled into a false sense of security. With four funding and a fantastic early draw (only one C0dA piece on the board) surely this will be a walkover? No, it was not.
Three times we had C0dA cities protected by a quarantine marker and we assumed they would be safe. Three times we drew a C0dA card from the player deck, removing the quarantine and then drew the same card from the infection deck causing an outbreak.
Somehow, despite all the problems, we escaped this game with a win. It came at great cost though, several cities now have a panic level of 3 and C0dA spread to Delhi, Chennai and San Francisco. Poor Ann was left scarred as well.
Upgrades: Shadow Sickness got its third mutation and Southern Fever got its third mutation

Roadblocks were used to good effect, preventing outbreaks and stopping any further C0dA spread. No outbreaks occurred thanks to calm, diligent work. We were able to complete the search goal within two turns. Starting with a lot of C0dA cards in our starting hands which helped things along.
We have so many faded cities that it was an easy to reach quarantine goal.
Upgrades: Paramilitary Escort added for Ann Court and Roadblocks made permanent

I went into this game wanting a change. That, it transpires was a bit of a mistake as Ann Court’s quarantining and paramilitary escort abilities would have been extremely helpful. Joanne was generally useless.
We succeeded in our search objective almost immediately because of course we did.
That’s were our progress stalled. We just couldn’t get the right combination of cards to cure diseases and North Asia turned into a C0dA disaster with Tokyo being the epicentre.
Joanne had a rough first outing receiving two scars.
Upgrades: Equipment upgraded and Roadblocks made permanent
