For the rules of pandemic, see GameHelpPandemic
General
- Treat 3-cube cities as an urgent priority to prevent outbreaks.
- Pandemic is all about efficiency of action.
- Learn to use Direct flight and Charter flight to get to where you need to quickly.
- Don't discard too many city cards of the same colour if that colour disease has not been cured yet.
- As a rule, more than 5 is too many.
- Build research stations whenever you can as the Operations expert, since research stations can be important for transportation as well as curing diseases.
- The Dispatcher and the Medic make a great combo once you've cured a disease.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Don't forget to keep an eye on your player deck.
- Once all the cards are drawn it's game over.
