Let me tell you, anyone who is still all "OH BOO HOO HOO THE GAME CAN'T BE PLAYED FOREVER AND WANTS ME TO HARM MY PRECIOUS THIIIIIINGS" is denying themselves a huge fun time. We had a blast. I would happily buy another copy and play through it AGAIN, even knowing what's coming.
You really can't replay it with your copy? Honest question.
You can't replay Legacy with it, no. You could play regular Pandemic on the board, but you'd be working around the stickers and stuff.

I just don't understand this. I never worried about having the exact same people play Risk: Legacy, and I certainly don't with Pandemic: Legacy. I want as many people to experience as are interested. I also don't want to hamstring myself by thinking, "Oh, we can't play Pandemic: Legacy because Bill isn't here tonight." Screw that. Play for fun with anyone who's around.Shellhead wrote: In the current boardgame playing environment, the problem with a Legacy-style game isn't the lack of replay value, it's the challenge of getting a group of players to commit to playing it through the first time.
I do lament, however, that we don't play it *regularly*. We tore through the first couple of months, but now we've stalled and only play it once every three sessions or so. That sucks. It makes it a little hard to remember the narrative and consequent modifications.

We played it EIGHTEEN TIMES. In my 10+ years of boardgaming, I have only 15 games I've played more than 18 times. Quit fucking thinking about it as "NEVER PLAYING AGAIN OH NOOOOOOOOO".
You go see movies all the time that last two hours and then are "done" forever.
FFS, people, it's okay if things end.

You should put up for resale on BGG. I hear everyone losing their shit about that game over there.

I understand both points, but I play many of my games more than that (or aim to) with more than one set group. Games are entertainment, but I don't think the relationship people have with films is similar. Plenty of people sleeve cards for this game for that reason. The expectation is that they can be shared with others.

If you had a "regular" game and it traveled with you a bunch (my copy of Epic Duels came from a punk rock singer and he toured with it) then eventually you'll need to replace it. How is it any different with Legacy games - you simply know the expiration date in advance.
The only valid gripe I can see is someone who LOVES it not being able to rebuy it if it's OOP.

Looks like it'll be another Tuesday evening of cutting myself.

Moreso than the somewhat abstract original game, Pandemic Legacy goes to considerable effort to create a sense of narrative. If some of the players are only sporadically playing the game, they are missing out on a lot of the narrative. Maybe that's why the game has lost momentum with your group.
