Pandemic is a game build on the
dependence of teamwork and strategy. The game played by multiple individuals.
These individuals are assigned a role from a total of six occupations. Although
it clearly says in the instructions how clearing out all the diseases is not
the way to win. Initially, that is what we aim for in the group. Besides the
fact that mistakes occurred repeatedly, how to place the cubes – diseases – by
taking 3 at first, 2 second, and lastly one was the most confusing part. The
first trial had dragged out time wise. as the cards number kept decreasing hinting at
our near loss. Bearing in mind, the first time that we had played this game were
more than 4 players so it was difficult to outline each individual role and the
outline of how the game is processing. Therefore, the game turned into a one
big confusing chaos. Hence, we have lost in the first game but that was out of
pure confusion and not a strategic plan that was conducted beforehand and
failed to win the game for us. Therefore, next time we play the game it is best
to decide whose confident in playing what role. Also, the teamwork system
should be flexible in terms of hierarchy. In other words, even if there was a
leader assigned, whoever knows the next step closer to victory should share
their thoughts to the leader and eventually to the group. The plan for victory
is simple: trying as much as possible to keep a trivial spread of the four
diseases as much as possible, and in cases where opportunity cards are present.
They should only be used when the infection rate has increased. Because as
mentioned previously, the main aim was to keep the infections trivial and limited
sites.
