Interesting - Haven't heard of the Legacy series of board games before. We had a group that used to play Risk 2210 every few weeks, it was a great game and took around 3 hours on average - unlike the original game which could last days.
The concept of evolving rules is cool.
I take it the game makers don't sell restart packs to allow you to replay the game with a new campaign? Perhaps the cost is to high, so it's worth just buying another whole game (from their perspective).
You'd need a new board along with all the cards. I don't know if it would be worth it. About the only thing that is reusable is the pieces. It would be more economical from a number of perspectives to just buy the game again. That being said, I'll never play Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 again. So much of what made it good was the unfolding story/evolving crisis. Knowing ahead of time... I might play it again when my kids are old enough to appreciate it.

They are planning on making a Season 2 right? I thought I was reading that somewhere.

As far as I know. It would be kind of silly not to given how successful Season 1 was.

Oh, you don't think they can be different in season 1 again? OK yeah, that kills replayability.

I thought the point was that each story can evolve different. Obviously within bounds, but still different.

Yes, and no. PL is much more railroaded than either RL or Seafall because there is a timeline that advances regardless whether you succeed or fail. There is some variability, but not sufficient to warrant another playthrough imo.

Ah, so the core Pandemic mechanic is what causes it to lose new legacy replayability? I can get that.

It's an isometric shooter, but the fun part is the 50s B-movie conceit along with narration by the "director" of the movie that you're playing.

Cool, hopefully the kids will like it.

Daughter was playing Day of the Tentacle and Secret Society of Monsters and then both girls played Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing for a bit.

Was playing Steep Closed Alpha last night...it has the potential to be a REALLY good and huge game...
