Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu (2016)

“Reign of Cthulhu is an excellent addition to the Pandemic brand. For a game slightly more welcoming for groups new to the genre this is a fantastic title.”

“I like Pandemic [Reign of Cthulhu], and I'll say it right away: I like it even better than the original Pandemic. I do, I like the fact that the board is so much tighter; you don't spend many actions going from point A to point B.”(14:15)

“So bottom line we are crazy about pandemic R of cthulu pandemic R of cthulu is not just a simple reskin regular pandemic it offers interesting new mechanics and new decisions to be made that really make it feel like a different game”(10:49)

“As a re-implementation of Pandemic, this is a very solid game. Personally I like Pandemic Reign of Cthulhu more than the original Pandemic.”

“So, uh, anyway, definitely take a look at this one. Again, the production is really well done. The art's great. Art on all the old ones is really nice. You can paint the minis if you really want. The minis are are decent, especially for uh this style of game. Uh, so, I definitely recommend this game. Thanks.”(18:44)

“It is different from the original Pandemic, but it very much feels like you're playing Pandemic when you're doing it. If you prefer the Cthulhu theme, you definitely want to go for this one.”(3:16)

“This is this is a delightful game. It's a lot of fun and I'm very very impressed by all the new features it adds to the game.”(0:29)

“I think that the uh the base game of uh Reign of [Cthulhu] is much more appealing to me than the base game of Pandemic, expansions be damned, like I would be more willing to hold on to this one.”(9:12)

“In conclusion, Reign of Cthulhu has pleasantly surprised me. Pandemic was the inspiration, so this was always going to be a great game. But this wasn't just the pasting on of a popular theme: this is a well-designed tribute to Lovecraft.”

“We had a lot of fun playing this. I say "playing," though "losing" might be a better word. But in spite of our repeated failure to save the world, we enjoyed the time we spent doing so, as it's a very well-thought-out package and not simply the same game in a different skin.”

“Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu is a much simpler and better version of the original. The simplicity makes it smoother to play especially as I'm currently near the end of a Pandemic Legacy game and the extra rules are hard to follow right now.”

“Somewhat surprisingly, given its increasingly tired theme, Reign of Cthulhu is actually a good game!”

“I really love the lovecraftian theme that this game evokes and the nice tweaks, the mechanisms uh that they've made to the original Pandemic to make it seem fresh for seasoned players and new players alike”(14:52)

“However, if you've yet to discover the unique joys of Pandemic, then this retains most of the original brilliance and mixes it with a fun theme that may very well hold a much wider appeal than trying to cure horrible diseases.”

“Overall everything is good. If you've never played Pandemic, this would be a great place to start. This is a fun game, it's really good, it's tight, I like it, there's a lot to do.”(3:32)
