Co-op pandemic with consequences that stick
Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 is a medium game (weight 4/10). Strategic depth is moderate (6/10) — pleasant to learn, but not infinitely deep. Decisions come at a steady pace (5/10) — engaged without being exhausting. Interaction is maxed (9/10) — every turn shapes what your opponents can do. Direct attacks are minimal (0/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression. Some negotiation matters (negotiation 7/10).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.
