Play starts off like normal Pandemic, with players trying to treat diseases across the world, but gameplay quickly evolves into a wholly new experience. Now, I won't spoil any of the contents of the packets that can be opened, but it does feature stickers and a persistent campaign world just like Risk Legacy. Player roles can be upgraded with new powers and possibly scars, and the role cards have spots for "Relationships", which I did not get to see. One thing that you do see from the get-go is that each city has circles around it that get filled in whenever an outbreak occurs; have too many filled in and the city riots, preventing you from traveling directly there. Even more and the city can be completely devastated.
If you like Pandemic even a little, this game is going to appeal to you. If you don't like Pandemic, the Legacy elements of this game may change your mind. Very excited for this one.
Since this design is a prototype, don't expect it to appear in this form in print or possibly ever appear in print. Still, I thought I'd share.If you like Pandemic even a little, this game is going to appeal to you. If you don't like Pandemic, the Legacy elements of this game may change your mind.

• Two other prototypes that Fraasch tried out are Temple of Feng Shui, a building game of "vertical area control" from Bézier and Overflow, a Bejewled-inspired set creation game with special actions and player elimination from new designer Phong Tram and his Thumbtack Games.
• On Opinionated Gamers, Larry Levy describes a number of forthcoming games, including Scott Almes' Loop Inc. (which I previewed on BGGN in mid-April 2014) and Martin Wallace's Mythotopia, coming in 2014 from his Treefrog Games.
