Z-Man Games Teases Pandemic Legacy Still More

Z-Man Games Teases Pandemic Legacy Still More
Board Game: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
In March 2015, I posted a long preview of Pandemic Legacy, a design by Matt Leacock and Rob Daviau that Z-Man Games and licensing publishers will release in ten languages around the world on October 8, 2015. That preview conveys some of the details of the game and how it differs from the original Pandemic.

Z-Man Games has now released a bunch of teaser images — and one video trailer — for Pandemic Legacy, and things don't look exactly as I remember! Details of gameplay are still under wraps until that debut date, but here's a taste of what's coming:

Board Game: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
One of the game's characters, with space to record what happens during play


Board Game: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
Upgrades represent training or experience for your character


Board Game: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
Civilians? I don't recall seeing civilians before. What do they do?


Board Game: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
Part of the world you must patrol, with room for stickers that record...what?


Board Game: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
Your nemeses; they don't look unhealthy, but cubes are stealthy that way


Board Game: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
Things change over the course of a year, with multiple objectives confronting your team


Board Game: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
The game itself changes over time, with new rules coming into play


Board Game: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
Virus tokens and tokens for other things


Board Game: Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
The viruses get their own space on the board; why?
