Which Pandemic game is the most fun?
We answered this question in our post on the best Pandemic games and expansions.
Which Pandemic is the most difficult?
You can make the original Pandemic more difficult by adding the expansions. Legacy is slightly more difficult than the original, because you have to take into account future games as well as the current game.
Can you play Pandemic Legacy more than once?
Pandemic Legacy is a campaign game that takes 12 to 24 sessions to finish. So you can play the game 12 to 24 times. You cannot replay the campaign however. (You could replay the last session of the campaign as many times as you like, but that’s not recommended.)
Which Pandemic expansion is the best?
We answered this question in our post on the best Pandemic games and expansions.
Should I buy Pandemic or Pandemic Legacy?
Definitely Pandemic Legacy, as we explain in our ranking of the Pandemic games.
Should I play Pandemic before Pandemic Legacy?
No, not necessarily. Pandemic Legacy is simple and intuitive enough to begin with. If you are a first time player, you will find Pandemic slightly easier to get into. But this is not worth buying Pandemic rather than Legacy, as Legacy is a better game.
Is Pandemic easier with more players?
No, it’s actually harder. With fewer players it’s easier to predict what will happen in between a player’s turns so planning becomes easier.

Is Pandemic fun with two players?
Definitely! My most enjoyable sessions have been with 2 players.
Is there a difference between Pandemic Legacy Red edition and Blue edition?
No, other than the cover there is no difference between these editions.
