I just cannot fathom why anyone would even *want* to change the game by including an unplanned expansion before even playing it!↧

Does the idea of using permanent ink instead bother you? If your answer is "yes," there is clearly a difference.

Thread: Pandemic Legacy:: Rules:: SPOILERS -- Mid-Year Character Questions
by zokvicds
In February when you first get relationships, we were lucky enough to have not played the researcher in Game 1, so we brought her in an combed them with the Scientist with a Co-Worker relationship.A few months later, you can access to more copies of the relationships. My question is this: are all people that have the same relationship considered to interact with it? We were thinking about brining in another character and having them be easily able to ship off cards--would they be considered coworkers with the original Researcher and Scientist? There's no way to specify a particular *set* of relationships on the cards.

[o]So am I right that it only applies when there are 3 tokens/figures ? And if it targets a city with a quarantine marker (and no tokens/figures) the marker is removed?[/o]↧

There is a spot to write in names. So each relationship slot applies to one and only one other character.↧

I played a 2 player regular Pandemic yesterday with 5 Epidemic cards and it was... easy. We got to 4 outbreaks and on the turn we won there was nothing on the map that could threaten us at all. Maybe it will change over time but so far I've only lost 2 games - my first solo learning game and one game in Legacy. I may be wrong but it looks like this game is all about the random distribution of cubes. If it's really nasty you'll probably lose, if it isn't, you have to try really hard not to win.↧

You know, caring about it emotionally is not the only reason someone might choose to use something less permanent. When I write on an index card, obviously there isn't any emotional attachment, but I choose pen or ink depending on whether or not I think I'm going to want to change some of the information.
Personally, I'm planning to use a permanent pen on my first runthrough of PL simply because it's a heck of lot less trouble. If I decide I want to do the campaign again, at this point I'm perfectly willing to throw money at the problem.

Because most who play with In the Lab prefer that method and are used to the way it plays. Tbh, I wasn't the biggest fan of Pandemic before In the Lab. Now it's one of my favorite games. I've played enough base Pandemic to where I feel Legacy will be enjoyable, but mostly because of the theme, story and added gameplay elements.
The other issue for me is I will be playing 2 player, so the ability to trade cards isn't as easy since there is only 1 other player to trade with, and I don't want to use extra roles.

Yes, there is a difference. One is permanent, the other is not. What's your point? Any other tautology you want to share with us?

Sure. I concede there are other circumstances in life where we have a choice whether to use permanent ink and in which emotions may not play a factor. :)

Heh. People get so touchy about this stuff. Just take a deep breath and relax. :)
My point is you can't say "Non-permanent effects are exactly the same as permanent effects" if you also say "Permanent effects really bother me, but non-permanent effects don't." The very fact that the permanent effects are bothersome to you is proof that they are not exactly the same.
Kell asked how the gameplay experience was any different, and I tried to answer.

Game is definitely easier than regular pandemic.
Regular Pandemic without any expansions and without throwing in extra Epidemic cards is pretty damn easy....

We've played and I think I've seen it verified (but don't have time to search the forum at this moment) that this only blocks the Treat Disease action. Remote Treatment is allowed during the February events. If no one else chimes in, I'll try to search and link tonight.
Yes, this was confirmed by either Matt or Rob in another thread.

And yet nowhere did Kell say that the idea of writing on the board bothered him at all... he simply said he wanted to be able to experience the game again.

Which is why I asked, "Does it bother you?" To see what Kell would say.
This really isn't as difficult or adversarial as you're trying to make it out to be.

Thread: Pandemic Legacy:: Rules:: Number of players per game?
by babaali
Hi,Can the number of players per month change? For example, can our initial game be played with 3 friends and then play the next game with one less or one more player (due to friend's availability)?
Thanks in advance

Fair enough.
I do feel like the group advocating permanent changes as the only "proper" way to experience the game have hijacked the thread from its intended topic, so I can see that I'm bringing my own emotional baggage into the discussion.
