Date Night Game: Pandemic

With two small children at home, the majority of mine and my husband’s dates end up being at-home date nights. We’ve discovered lots of ways to have fun at home, one of our favorites being game night! We have found several 2-player games that we enjoy and so I decided to share one of them with you.

The game I want to introduce to you today is called Pandemic. We’ve owned this game for almost two years and we still love it. It’s a 2-4 player game that can be found in most Target stores and on Amazon priced between $30-$40.

One of the best things about Pandemic is the fact that it’s a cooperative game. This means that, instead of competing against each other, you will actually be teamed up together to beat the game. At first, I was skeptical about how a game like that could still be fun after a few times playing it but I’ve been pleasantly surprised! The game is a little bit different every time we play, and it is always a challenge!

Game Play: At the start of the game each player is assigned a unique role (examples: research specialist, medic, scientist etc). The roles all have different strengths and characteristics that can help the team when used correctly. Players then travel around the world (the board) interacting with each other and trying to cure the 4+ diseases that have broken out worldwide. You do this all while trying to avoid disease outbreaks and hoping to completely eradicate the viruses.

I have been thoroughly impressed by the re-playability of this game. It is always a challenge and requires a lot of strategic thinking and teamwork. The difficulty level is easily adjusted so the game can get harder as you become more experienced with it.

Pandemic is a perfect date-night game that will have you and your spouse working together to save humanity!
