Pandemic Game First Trial and Strategic Plan

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.
