Board Game Geek Rating: 7.09. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.36. Suitable for 2 to 5 players and published in 2014. This is the Retail Edition of Pandemic: The Cure Board Game. Pandemic: The Cure is a thrilling dice - based version of the well - known Pandemic board game. It takes less than a minute to set up and only 30 minutes to play. Four diseases are threatening the world, and your team's mission is to save humanity. You and your team must control the world's hotspots before they spiral out of control while researching cures for the four plagues. Each turn, players roll dice to decide their available actions. They can travel between the world's six major population centers by air or sea, treat diseases in their current area, collect samples for study, and share knowledge to find cures. Each player has a unique role with special dice and abilities. For example, the Dispatcher can spend dice to move others around the board, and the Medic is great at treating diseases. Players can roll the dice as many times as they want, but frequent re - rolls increase the chance of an epidemic. At the end of each turn, 'infection dice' are rolled to determine new infections. If a region has more than three dice of a certain color, an outbreak occurs, spreading the disease. Too many outbreaks or high infection rates mean a loss. But if the team discovers the cures for all four diseases, they win and save humanity. It's part of the Pandemic series.

How to use: First, set up the game in less than a minute. Each player takes on a role like the Dispatcher or the Medic. During your turn, roll the dice to see what actions you can take, such as traveling between major population centers, treating diseases, or collecting samples. Work with your team to research cures for the four diseases. At the end of each turn, roll the 'infection dice' to know where new infections happen. Things to note: Be careful when re - rolling the dice. The more you re - roll for a perfect turn, the higher the chance of an epidemic. If too many outbreaks occur, too many people get infected, or the infection rate gets too high, you all lose. Maintenance advice: Keep the game components in a dry and clean place to prevent damage. Make sure the dice don't get lost. If you have any problems with the game, contact The Game Steward for help.
