Pandemic Legacy - Season 1. Board game I’m currently playing with friends and inspired this piece. Artwork comes from game but no tracing, all drawn freehand and put together to make this.

About to start my first game of Pandemic Legacy (dont worry, I wont post any spoilers)

"Vikings" designed by Michael Kiesling and published by Z-Man Games (2007), 2-4 players, 60 minutes, ~$52CAD, auction, tile placement, worker distribution. Fun with every count, with or without the advanced tiles.

I admit I am afraid to break the seal on Pandemic. I want to be sure that I can play with the same team through the whole campaign and I don’t have a solid, regular gaming group that I can do that with so it might be awhile before I start this, but I have it just in case now. :D

One of the FLGS in the area (Desrt Sky Games in Gilbert) is trading up to a bigger space so they are having a moving sale. Picked up all of these for a total of $52!

This is just a speculation but I wonder if it is suddenly on shelves and on clearance due to the ZMan-Asmodee merger last year. If Asmodee is sending out a new, rebranded copy, then the ZMan copy has to go I guess. I mentioned that I think that this is what happened with the Stone Age scarcity awhile back. And to be honest, it is still looking hard to come by at a good price ($50 or less). To me, I don’t care as long as the game is the same, who’s name is on the box. For me, this was a great pick. :)
