Wow, I was just watching a Rahdo video about some new game when he mentioned Pandemic and the idea of keeping your hand hidden from the other players. I was like "WTF"! I went and read the rules and noticed the small section that discusses this and was just as surprised, especially since it goes on to say you can say exactly what you have to anyone.I know this thread has already discussed this fully but I thought I would add to it 9 years after the last post.
I have played countless games of regular Pandemic and many games of Pandemic Legacy and always played with open hands. I agree with both sides of the arguments above but if your playing with the right people, mainly players who have played a lot of co-op games, there is definitely no reason to play with closed hands, IMO.
