	* Treat 3-cube cities as an urgent priority to prevent outbreaks.		* Pandemic's primary strategem is efficiency.
	* Pandemic is ~~all about~~ efficiency ~~of action~~.		* Cities with three cubes should be considered a priority to prevent Outbreaks.
	** ~~Learn to use Direct flight~~ and Charter ~~flight~~ to get ~~to where you need to~~ quickly.		* Use Shuttle Flights and Charter Flights to get places quickly.
	* Don't discard too many ~~city~~ cards of the same ~~colour~~ if that ~~colour~~ disease has not been cured yet.		* Don't discard too many City cards of the same color if that disease has not been cured yet. Generally, more than five is too many.
	** ''As a rule, more than 5 is too many.''		* If you are the Operations Expert, concentrate on building Research Stations. These are important for both transportation and disease curing.
	* ~~Build research stations whenever~~ you ~~can as~~ the Operations ~~expert~~, ~~since research stations can be~~ important for transportation ~~as well as~~ curing ~~diseases~~.		* The chances of drawing any given card out of the City deck are:
	* The Dispatcher and ~~the~~ Medic make a great ~~combo once you've cured a~~ disease.		** City (48 total): 81% - 84%
	* ~~Make sure you can prevent~~ the first ~~outbreak~~ as long as you can~~, which may seem obvious, but the~~ game ~~is a lot~~ harder ~~past it~~.		** Epidemic: 7% - 10%
	* Save the One ~~quiet night event~~ card for ~~when you most need it, it~~'s ~~your~~ most important ~~event~~ and can only be used once, unless ~~you have~~ the ~~contingency planner~~.		** Event (5 total): 8%
	* The Quarantine ~~specialist is important for preventing outbreaks, so if you are them, try to~~ be in a ~~good blocking~~ location over treating low ~~disease locations~~.		* After a disease is cured, the Dispatcher and Medic make a great combation to remove disease cubes.
	* ~~Don't forget to keep~~ an eye on ~~your player~~ deck.		* Prevent the first Outbreak for as long as you can. The game gets harder once one has occurred.
	** Once all the ~~cards are drawn it's~~ game over.		* Save the "One Quiet Night" Event card for emergencies. It's the most important Event and can only be used once (unless the Contingency Planner is on the team).
	*~~A good 4-player team is the~~ Medic, Researcher, Scientist and Dispatcher		* The Quarantine Specialist should be placed in a location where they can prevent outbreaks and block disease cube placement. Prioritize this over treating cities with low numbers of cubes.
	**Medic and Dispatcher ~~are effective~~ at treating ~~the outbreaks~~		* Keep an eye on the City deck. If it runs out, the game is over. You can't win Pandemic by "waiting it out".
	**Scientist ~~and Researcher are effective at finding cures~~		*The Medic, Researcher, Scientist, and Dispatcher make an excellent combination of players.
			**The Medic and Dispatcher can work together at treating Outbreaks
			**The Researcher can easily give cards to the Scientist, who can cure diseases easily.
