Only in March so far, but things are going well. Almost too well... It's a good twist on the classic. Anyone else played it?

Oh hey I'm also playing this now with my family! It's very good! O think also just finished March. I'm loving it, and yeah we're waiting for the game to get truly mean. My wife and I have played the other seasons but the other two in our group haven't.

We played Season 1 a few years ago. Our last game led to us winning with only 1 card left in the player deck. Nail-biting. May get 2 later on.

Season 0 has some stress to it but overall I felt like it was a great and smooth send off for the Pandemic Legacies. Season 1 was excellent as the first if you've played the standard or expansions of the standard game, it starts from that base familiarity and does a great job introducing the legacy concepts. Season 2... It just starts weird and gets fucking crazy from there. I enjoyed it probably the most of the three. It was pretty white knuckle in many of the months. We started logging both the hero deck and the infection deck and plotting our odds of when we would be pulling cards. It was deeply satisfying in a stressful way that most other board games don't scratch. I've seen some people on the board games subreddit talk about how it was a push over and wasn't difficult and I'm like did we play the same game? I didn't feel like we are poor gamers and if anything those kinds of comments make me think of the Rimworld communities where people are saying the game just isn't satisfying or challenging unless they're playing naked brutality ice sheet with Randy random as the story teller.

Basically this is my long winded, unnecessary reply to you just to say yes, Season 2 is crazy!
