Why Pandemic.
Cooperative classic. Save the world together. The game that converts non-gamers.
It plays best in two players, 3-4 players and cooperative situations — that's where this pick earns its place over the alternatives at the same weight class.
No paid placement. No sponsorship. We tested the game and chose it. The Amazon link funds the lights — if you'd rather buy direct from a local game store, find one via BoardGameGeek.
