Pandemic fans can try out the new tabletop game, Pandemic Legacy Season 0 for free in a digital spoiler-free demo courtesy of Z-Man Games.
Pandemic has spawned a second edition and five expansions/scenarios as well as several spin-offs, including the Pandemic Legacy series. It is a cooperative board game for 2-4 players and is the game that kickstarted a revolution in co-op game design. In the Pandemic games, players must work together to prevent the spread of four infectious diseases and find a cure. It is in part based upon the SARS outbreak of 2002-2004.
The Pandemic Legacy series brought the classic gameplay experience of the original but introduced the concept of multi-game story-driven scenarios played out over a season of 24 game sessions (maximum). Each game played affects the rules and starting point of the next depending upon the outcome. Each season is designed to be played through from start to finish until the season is won or lost. It is recommended to have played season 1 before attempting season 2.
Pandemic Legacy Season 0 is a prequel set during the Cold War and as such does not require players to have completed either season 1 or season 2 of Pandemic Legacy. With no confirmed release date, impatient fans now have the opportunity to try out and learn the new game in the comfort of their own home, ironically in part thanks to the recent global pandemic! Gen Con 2020 moved online this year resulting in studios being unable to demo their new games to press and fans alike but Z-Man Games has taken the initiative to make a spoiler-free playable demo of the new title available digitally using the popular Tabletop Simulator.
Publisher Z-Man Games has stated that Season 0 is to be the final installment of the popular Pandemic Legacy series of games and is due out later this year. Full details of Pandemic Legacy Season 0 can be found on the Z-Man Games website. For more information on the demo, visit the Steamworks page here. Please note, a copy of Tabletop Simulator is required to play this demo.
