Why would I buy this when we have been playing the real thing since Feb?

Is this a standalone game? How is it compared to the original?

This is a standalone game. It is meant to have a quicker pace than the original game but not necessarely a quicker game duration. There are more realtime events and special actions meant to create a more engaging (or stressful) gameplay.

Back to the thread, I liked the first pandemic. This one looks to be a faster and shorter version. I'm in and hopefully this Covid wave will be similar.

It's rated a 6.7 on BGG. With all the amazing games available nowadays, it would be better to get a better game event if it means paying more.

One thing to note on BGG is these are typically diehards.
Casual board game players (<1 month) tend to like simpler games like this one, ticket to ride, sushi go and other card games.. etc..

I think a good rule of thumb is if you have more than 10 board games and play them regularly, this game probably isn't for you.
I used to play a lot of board games but then I had 3 kids. These time sensitive board games can actually fit in my schedule now..

Agreed. People on there drive me nuts and will shit on anything sold in a toy store by MB or Hasbro.

BGG is a good resource to see if something might interest you you've never heard of while browsing the store: Do the gameplay mechanics look interesting/fun? Length? Flaws? etc. I would certainly take their reviews with a grain of salt - Both this and the regular Pandemic are great games.

They'll remove the bioterrorist from the "On the brink" expansion and replace it with an angry Facebook Karen conspiracy theorist.
