I believe the way this gets resolved is that you pull two cards from the bottom of the deck, move the infection rate marker twice, shuffle the infection discard pile, and then infect however many cities there are. Happened to me once on the app and in one of The Dice Tower's games of Legacy Season 2. I'm almost positive that this is how both instances resolved it.


That isn't correct, if you draw two Epidemic cards you process both cards separately, then move on to the infect step, so the first bottom deck card will get shuffled with rest of the discard pile but the card drawn for the Infect step of the second Epidemic will be the only card in the discard and will be on top so this is a guaranteed outbreak unless you can play One Quiet Night or Resilient Population or some other event that may help.


Lithy is correct.
Rules page 6:
"It is rare but possible to draw 2 Epidemic cards at once. In this case, do all three steps above once and then again...
In this case in the second epidemic’s Infection card will be the
only card to “reshuffle”, ..."

The App is not guaranteed to be rules exact, watching someone else play the game doesn't mean they are aware of all rules, and it's possible Legacy made a few rules tweaks (I have not read the Legacy rules to be certain).
