Welcome to the latest episode of Cult of the Old!

 

Each episode your hosts Iain McAllister, Matt Thrower, and Nate Owens are going to turn back the clock to look at games that are at least 10 years old. They’ll give their own critical impressions, tell you about the history of the game and its impact, and what relevance these games still have in the modern hobby landscape. 

 

In this episode of Cult of the Old the team look at a game that couldn’t be more appropriate for our times. The game that introduced the idea of co-operation to modern boardgame audience, Pandemic. Designed by Matt Leacock with art from Josh Cappel, Christian Hanisch, Régis Moulun, Chris Quilliams, and Tom Thiel. Originally published by Z-Man Games.
