Nice review. My only gripe with Pandemic is that there is absolutely no reason that a strong leader (often the most experienced player) would not take over the game every time and turn it into spectator solitaire. This is a solo game with multiple pawns.Other co-ops grapple with the same issue and succeed/fail to varying degrees, but Pandemic does not really address it at all. The different role abilities just justify someone saying, "You're good at X. Why don't you do that while I do Y."
Best boardgame ever? Depends on whether you're the boss or the pawn.
