Major Events
• Cured: Min Virus (Black)
• 1st Epidemic: Bangkok (Faded city)
• Cured: Nam Virus (Blue)
• Cured: Princess Disease (Yellow)
• [Objective 1 Cleared] Discover cures to the 3 normal diseases.
• 2nd Epidemic: Riyadh (Black)
• 3rd Epidemic (forgot to record which city)
Since we started out with 5 military bases, we just built a military base in Moscow and we were done with our 2nd objective.
• [Objective 2 Cleared] Have a military base in each of the six major regions.
In order to win the game, we just needed to do one more search action on the faded city with a military base. That would complete the 3rd objective of finding the paranoid soldier.
At this point, Yellow and Black cities were both on the brink of multiple outbreaks and we were running out of cubes to place. It also felt like the 4th Epidemic was going to come out very soon.
It was my turn and I was too far from the military base to do a search action. We had to wait until Kira(Dispatcher)’s turn to do the final search action and I felt that it was way too risky to do another infection step. So, I decided to take the self-sacrifice action by gaining a “Panicky” scar and proceed with Kira’s turn.

We didn’t have a character with the Paramilitary Escort upgrade, so we had to select a Military character whose birthday would be next based on today’s real world date. That was Shu Nay Nay, the Quarantine Specialist.
Goodbye, Shu Nay Nay.

Wow- this was definitely an unexpected twist from the game. I can see now how this have all been the game creators’ plan to lure us into this trap. We have been so naive, building as many military bases as possible to get a free objective completion.
We had 5 starting military bases on the board so far and now we had to go around destroying them. Also, the fact that we lost the Quarantine Specialist this game will make it even more difficult since we relied on her to complete the “Quarantine 7 cities” objective.
Our friend who played the Quarantine Specialist was devastated by losing the character he has been playing for the last 10 games.
Since then, he’s been blaming me for his loss since I was the one who insisted on finding the Paranoid soldier.. Sorry![]()
This month was definitely a turning point for our game group and we were excited/worried about how the game would play out the next month.
