Three games in one evening. Bruce sat out the first, then Alex and then Mike. Phil and Darryl also played.
We concentrated on the hunt for the Patient Zero.
First game was lost quickly due to lots of bad runs of events with unfortunate epidemic cards and general awful luck. Players were one action away from capturing Patient Zero on Mike’s turn which was next when the game ended abruptly with horrible chain outbreaks.
Second game: “This time we are going to get him” said Mike’s soldier armed with binoculars. This time we did, but it was tough. With one action point left required for victory on Phil’s turn and Darryl’s Dispatcher’s turn to draw infection cards it was so close yet so far as Khartoum suffered the final outbreak and it was all over. Sadly Darryl could not risk a scar. But at least we had patient zero and the new Immunologist character going in to the final game. With two fails in a row it was off to November and lots of new stuff.
November went smoothly enough thanks to the combination of Immunologist, Scientist, Quarantine and Operations Specialists and with 2 vaccine stations and three vaccinated cities already on the map hopefully we are ready to go for December. Phil’s turn to sit out next again and hopefully a good result for December lies ahead.
